Amusement Logic creates waterpark for Mauritius mall


Amusement Logic has confirmed that it is creating a waterpark with a large themed splash pad and slides for Cascavelle Shopping Village, in Mauritius. The new additions are part of Cascavelle Shopping

The Move It-32 moves on 3 (legal) semi-trailers and can be set

In recent years shopping malls have been complimented with FECs, indoor waterparks, adventure parks, indoor amusement parks, indoor ski parks, and more, and Amusement Logic is actively participating in this type of leisure development in Mauritius.
