WhiteWater has No Boundaries I


ntegrating different ways to play within one attraction, WhiteWater believes its new No Boundaries giant play structures, coming soon to various locations in the Middle East and Asia, offers something unique in the market. Towering 21 metres


(almost 75ft) above the ground, each complex offers both harnessed and unharnessed activities for guests of all ages and skill levels. Accommodating all of the different No Boundaries elements – including high thrill zip lining, weaving obstacle courses, and uphill climbs – would normally take up a substantial footprint. However WhiteWater's design team has re-imagined the space by building upwards to create an enormous attraction that fits within a condensed footprint of 860 m² to 2,000 m². The core 4-storey tower houses a central area where parents can watch, film/photograph their kids, or simply encourage bravery. The 18 columns that radiate from the core support secondary structures such as a ropes course, elevators drops and a wave climb. “We’ve really packed this attraction with features,” says Mark Weston, designer


and product manager for No Boundaries. “I’m extremely proud that we’ve created, for the first time, parallel play in one structure where siblings of different ages can race across the attraction in tandem; the older enjoying the high thrill harnessed play

while the younger test their limits with unharnessed challenges. It is a mini-family adventure park all on its own!” Compliant with ASTM International and the China State Construction International Holdings (CSCI) codes, No Boundaries features automated and patented safety technology that allows guests to explore the structure with limited supervision. Their continuous harness clip allows guests to zip from one platform to another without ever having to unhook. This technology will shorten queues and allow for a higher throughput. “We’ve really understood the challenges operators face


and have created an attraction which ticks all the boxes,” says Nathan Jones, WhiteWater’s new global head of attractions sales, who returns to the company where he spent much of his early career to lead the focus on its portfolio of water rides and adventure play products. There will be four No Boundaries complexes opening


over the coming year, two in China, one in Malaysia, and one in Abu Dhabi. Pictured left is the installation currently taking shape at Everfashion’s Hot Go Park in Northern China.
