jump into the queue line themselves to experience this novel ride. We are pleased to have it as part of our park’s ride mix.”
Commenting on developments at ADG, business manager Ray Lauenstein, says : “ADG has dozens of innovations in our industry, many of which the guest never sees – but one you will see a lot of in our projects is use of level change and the vertical volume of a building is an area we excel at, both indoor and outdoor.”
Giving readers a sneak preview of what’s to come from ADG, Ray tells Park World: “We have a project on the board that is redefining the use of vertical space and how the guest, technology and the park infrastructure co-exist. We are changing how the parts and pieces of a park work and what that means to the betterment of the guest experience as they interact with the space and other guests.
“In the past, adding a mezzanine level (2005 Great Escape Lodge Indoor WP) with a play structure on it was unique. In 2018 we helped weave the three levels of the SoundWaves at Gaylord Opryland into a seamless experience that garnered Time Magazine top 100 places recognition. This fast summer, we took a large outdoor site with about 100 ft of elevation change and created a mountain side waterpark that was a huge hit. “We continue to drive wave generation creativity in our pools, by marrying expert knowledge of pool design and construction with vertically integrated wave generation equipment to do things nobody thought possible in a cost-effective manner – 6 ft pneumatic waves in a recreational pool, surfable standing waves in a river that lasts several minutes, and duelling beach waves with no deep end to the pool.” “Amusement Logic is a company that is known for its creativity and pushing the limits of what is possible,” says commercial director Amós Casas. “We have been fortunate to participate in several ground breaking projects that have been novelties on a global level. We could mention the first Canyoning (artificial canyoning circuit) in the world, which we designed and executed in France, after the client had already thrown in the towel after consulting with other designers who told him that it was impossible. Or the Modular Tower, central axis of the largest set of water slides in the world. Or a resort project in Qatar developed on artificial islands, where the client wanted all the elements and equipment to be worldwide novelties.”
ProSlide CCO Ray Smegal, is equally proud of what his company has achieved: “DreamWorks Water Park at American Dream is an iconic water park that just opened in Meadowlands, New Jersey. This is a perfect example of a park with a vision to create something best-in-class and has pushed boundaries to accomplish that. It’s one of the largest scale projects that ProSlide has ever worked on and required a lot of creativity, innovation, and ingenuity to pull it off. We worked with American Dream to contribute almost 30 of our high-performance water rides, including the world’s tallest indoor FreeFALL and the world’s longest indoor HydroMAGNETIC ROCKET. Both rides are fitting additions to the park since DreamWorks Water Park is, actually, the world’s largest indoor water park. “Beyond just being the biggest, American Dream

had the leadership and vision to enhance what would already be a world-class park with industry-leading theming. DreamWorks Water Park, like the name suggests, brilliantly interweaves DreamWorks intellectual property to create imaginative theming that enhances the experience for all the guests in the park. “When you consider the theming, the rides, the size, the vision, the design, and everything else that went into this park, DreamWorks Water Park is destined to become the world-leader of indoor water parks.” Commenting on recent developments at Sub Sea Systems, vice president of marketing and communications, Hannah de Bie says: “We recently introduced DIVR+, a portable, virtual reality snorkelling system for resort swimming pools and water parks. The system is a collaboration between San Francisco- based Ballast Technologies and Sub Sea Systems. DIVR+ combines the neutral buoyancy of water with the immersion of virtual reality and haptic feedback. Participants wear a waterproof VR headset and breathe from a snorkel while holding onto a stationary thruster

a project on the board which is redefining the use of vertical space and how the guest, technology and the part infrastructure co-exist.
