The jungle-themed Water Garden offers a lap pool, shallow waterfalls and pools interconnected by body slides and a lazy river tube ride FORREC LTD
Masterplanners Forrec Ltd will be showcas- ing its waterpark project at Centara Grand Mirage Beach Resort. Located on Wong Amat Beach and Naklua Beach, North Pattaya in Thailand, the 30,000sq m water- park is part of a 66,000sq m resort, which re-imagines a lost jungle paradise of water, tropical plants and adventure. On arrival, visitors become part of a romantic jungle story about an ancient tribe that revered and celebrated nature. Originally commissioned by Centara
Hotels and Resorts to design a tropical gar- den for the new hotel, Forrec recognised an opportunity to differentiate the resort by creating a complete, immersive experience that would include the entire hotel property. An underlying narrative unites all ele- ments, from the entry gate to the beach front – landscape, recreation areas, graph-
ics, furniture, restaurant menus, room keys and even activity programming. To weave this themed environment
together, Forrec applied the skills of its in-house architects, landscape architects, interior designers, illustrators, graphic designers and writers. The design of the elaborate jungle Water Garden required many models, sketches and drawings to resolve the complicated three-dimensional sequences of spaces. The Water Garden is the resort’s main
feature and is a jungle sanctuary of tropi- cal plants, splashing water and pathways. Special elements include: a Ceremonial Platform, where a torch-lighting ceremony takes place every evening; shallow water- falls and pools interconnected by body slides; a meandering lazy river tube ride; a children’s play area; and a lap pool, which also serves as a venue for water sports.
HAYSTACK DRYERS
Haystack Dryers is launching its 2012 global spec Haystack Cyclone Dryer. The 2012 Cyclone Dryer offers
regional modular packages. For exam- ple, it can facilitate coin acceptance for France, RFID or bespoke cash and credit card solutions within the US. Having won awards from IAAPA and
WWA, every dryer uses the Hepa air fi lter and UV sterilisation air cleaning sys- tems. The pre-scrubbed and sterilised air is heated and boosted through low noise cross fl ow fans prior to ducting to oriented outlet channels. This creates the drying vortex which, when com- bined with the infra-red heating system, ensures all guests warm up and dry off. The environmentally friendly 2012
global spec Cyclone Dryer is used at SeaWorld San Diego, Legoland California, US, Movie World Australia and Liseberg Theme Park in Sweden.
