Cobra Kingdom New waterpark opens in Turkey
Part of a package supplied by Polin Waterparks & Pool Systems, King Cobra (pictured) is the signature attraction of the new Cobra Kingdom waterpark at MAXX Royal in Turkey. With its unique design, configuration and theming, the new twin-path waterslide is the first of its kind, enabling riders in innertubes to race against one another as they twist, turn and experience a heart- pounding drop. The attraction is already proving itself as the number one slide in terms of impact and spectator appeal. In total, Polin has provided 10 waterslides, including the Space Hole, Black Hole, Kamikaze,
Rafting Slide, Flying Boats, Freefall, Giant Body Slide, Turbolance and two Twisters. A kids’ area includes an Octopus slide, mini Pirate slide, two Cobra slides, two Rabbit slides, a water play structure and various
fountains and interactive features. Polin not only supplied the slides but also designed the entire waterpark.
Comprising an all-suite hotel, golf course, private beach, spa, wedding/honeymoon facilities and a convention centre, Maxx Royal is located in the port side area of Balek, 45km from Antalya.

Rapids Water Park in West Palm Beach, Florida, is now home to the World's first KrakenRacer by ProSlide, the latest evolution of the Canadian manufacturer’s ProRacer waterslide. With its fast dispatch and high capacity, the new attraction sends racers headfirst through enclosed, braided, twisting tunnels where they experience accelerating drops and twists before they speed towards the open racing lanes for one last plunge and the chance of first place. Rapids Water Park chose the KrakenRacer as a
six-lane configuration but it is also available in two, four, eight and 10-lane configurations.

They can step into a skybox and take a plunge when the floor drops out beneath their feet, or they can get horizontal on a 300ft speed slide that drops them straight down as soon as they enter. Vanish Point joins Water Country USA’s 43 acres of pools, children’s play areas, lazy rivers and water

Splash Zoo was designed by park project designer Lindsay Burroughs. Legoland Water Park is the world’s first Lego themed waterpark and opened summer 2010 including seven waterslides, the Build-A-Raft River and Imagination Station.
