colourful Windigo complex comprising six parallel tube slides that turn into either a right or left spiral before coming together again and dispatching riders into a six-lane high- speed multi-racer slide. For added thrills, the tube sections incorporate Polin’s Natural Light Effects (NLE). Meanwhile an orange-and-white striped Space Boat bowl slide is intertwined with a blue-and-white striped Family Raft Ride. Added during phase II last December was a second slide tower comprising a Freefall, Kamikaze and two Looping Rockets with launch capsules.


New slides coming soon Thrill seekers are in for a treat this summer when Dino Water Park unveils its phase III expansion with an exciting selection of signature slides and attractions courtesy of Polin. Topping the bill will be the Turkish manufacturer’s first Magicone funnel slide. The ride begins with a steep drop that sends riders and their rafts straight into the structure’s conical interior. The parabolic shape creates surprising changes in momentum that apparently provide a longer and more adrenaline-pumping ride than other funnel slides on the market. The eye-catching attraction is manufactured, like all Polin’s slides, using the company’s resin transfer moulding Magic Shine technology for a “shiny on both sides” finish.

Dino Water Park T


Putting northeast Thailand on the tourist map


Following a soft launch last spring, Thailand’s Dino Water Park is preparing for an official opening this summer after an major expansion by Polin Waterparks. Read on for news of some of the exciting new attractions planned


hemed, as its name suggests, around a time when dinosaurs roamed the earth, Dino Water Park is located in Khon Kaen, one of the big four cities of the


Isan region in northeast Thailand but an area not traditionally though of as a tourist hub. That could soon change, however, thanks to a US$60 million investment by the Pratunam Khon Kaen Group, which together with the South Korean developer Daino Park Co Ltd has created what we are told is the largest waterpark in Southeast Asia. Although no similar entertainment existed previously locally, the two companies were keen to incorporate slides and attractions that would draw guests from long distances and turned to Polin Waterparks to help them realise that effort. The 40-acre facility debuted in April 2015 with a very


promises an experience that is both higah in capacity and adrenaline. Riding in 6/8-passenger rafts, families and friends will start off slowly travelling through the giant tube's winding path before ramping up into an extreme slide and steep drop that propels them uphill onto a ramp. Gravity then pulls them over a reverse path including a hump before the splash pool. Alongside Polin’s Uphill Navigatour water coaster and Space Hole enclosed bowl slide, another new extreme slide will be the Space Shuttle, featuring tube slides and an enclosed pod, where sprays of water shoot riders from side- to-side before expelling them into the rest of the slide. Covering 2,000 square meters (21,527 sq ft), Dino


Water Park’s themed S-Type waterplay structure promises to be the largest of its kind ever produced by Polin, featuring 144 interactive features including 12 tipping buckets, 18 water guns, 13 arching jets, 12 pull ropes, 11 floor jets, 9 fish buckets, eight water mills, five waterfall jets and as many as 10 slides. Other toddler-sized slides include two Kids Compact Slides, two Kids Wide Slides, two Kids Multi Slides, an Octopus Slide, a Turtle Slide, two Giraffe Showers and four Mushrooms.


New tourism hub Additional waterpark facilities include a wave pool, lazy river, artificial beach and an outdoor stage area that can accommodate up to 3,000 people. As well as Polin, other Dino Water Park suppliers include Atlantis Pools, Murphy’s Waves and Zebec (rafts/tubes/mats). The contractor was Arin Construction and project consultant was Director of Dream.


Open year-round, the park can accommodate between 5,000 and 7,000 daily guests, but is just the start of what its developers hope will become a local tourism and business hub, as project manager Pitipat Songsri explains: "We want to see not only families travel to Dino Water Park but also professional people who may come to Khon Kaen for conferences, conventions and other events and extend their trips by bringing along spouses and children.”
