WhiteWater Leading manufacturer and designer of aquatic amenities WhiteWater has some surprises up its sleeve for this year’s IAAPA Expo Europe. The first will be Meryal’s Icon Tower, making its trade show debut at Booth 728. When finished, the tower will feature the tallest water slide in the world along with the most water slides to come off a single complex. A true engineering feat, the Icon Tower demonstrates how water parks are building skyline-defining landmarks that are recognizable the world over. Joy is the essential glue that binds this industry together - the thing that


keeps turnstiles turning and keeps businesses open. WhiteWater has been at the forefront of helping parks to create fun for over 40 years. However, joy gets lost in the business of fun and this is where Vantage comes in with the Joy Economy. WhiteWater’s second surprise will be a session to challenge your thinking


on guest experience with Vantage resident Michael Jungen in Booth 732 on September 13. Michael will speak to the enormous currency potential of joy in terms of revenue, brand affiliation, staff retention, brand building and reputation. Meanwhile, the ground-breaking SURFTOWN MUC - a world-class surf


park in the making that features WhiteWater’s Endless Surf technology - has been making headlines. Situated close to the Munich Airport and being Europe’s largest wave pool is sure to be a hit with the booming population of both German and European surfers. The facility is slated to test operations in late 2023 and officially open to


the public in the spring of 2024. The first of several European surf parks in the making powered by Endless Surf, visitors to the Expo can stop by Booth 828 to get a glimpse of this technology. The Endless Surf model showcases the organic heart-shaped surf lagoon with monitors playing the many different wave types and operating modes.
