Sizzling summer for Amusement Logic
cover for a water park. New technologies in building materials are allowing for the creation of new architectural forms, and the design utilises these elements to break with the usual rigidity of a glazed building.
A Amusement Logic has also launched Water
Bowling – an aquatic game that simulates the wobbling of tenpin bowls that never fall over. The design is based on total interactivity, an ideal module for creating play areas, and children will be able to run and hide amongst the skittles.
musement Logic has had a busy summer season in 2018, starting work on an architectural project to design the
Spray Toons, a new collection of play elements
for children’s aquatic playgrounds, has also been introduced. The line is characterised by its three- dimensionality, which transforms images from children’s stories into reality, moving away from the traditional concept of metallic tubes. Inspired by the mechanism of a clock, Amusement Logic’s Time Machine meanwhile features colourful cogs that move constantly, challenging guests to cross them and stay balanced. Built with 3DTech technology, the entire gear system rotates, propelled by a water current, and is protected by nets to ensure safety.
Skyline introduces a family of Skywarps
Skyline Attractions recently introduced its prototype Skywarp, the first-of-its-kind dual looping ride at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom, where it has been dubbed the Harley Quinn Crazy Coaster. The coaster- appearing ride is fully powered throughout with a preset program so that it never coasts, but offers continuous inversions along a horizontally stacked, lemniscate (figure eight) track. Using the same propulsion system, Skyline
Attractions has now created and is offering a family of Skywarp designs with two alternative layouts, Horizon and Eclipse. The Horizon layout resembles the original Skywarp lemniscate but laid on its side. The Eclipse layout has repositioned the two loops side-by-side and enlarged them. Horizon rises just 9m from the ground and boasts a
track length of 88m. With a double train it carries 32 people or a single train of 16 riders at a maximum speed of 30 mph. It requires a land area measuring 35m by 17m. Eclipse is larger, taller, and faster. At a height of 30m, it transports up to 40 riders over 183m at a maximum speed of 50 mph. It covers a footprint of 40m by 18m.
New Splashpad at Waters Edge
Utah-based Waters Edge has welcomed a new 14,000sqf splash pad, designed by Cloward H20. The splash pad was designed to be especially family-friendly, and features two areas; one for younger children with a shallow stream, toys, and nozzles, and a second area for larger children, with tipping buckets, water cannons and slides, as well as interactive features. The splash pad’s aquatics system has been designed using sand filtration and chlorination to filter and
recirculate the water and reduce waste. Additionally, Cloward H20 has launched a Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing (MEP) division to complement its experienced aquatics design services, called Cloward Engineering Group.
