Mermaids return to SEA
LIFE Orlando Aquarium SEA LIFE Orlando Aquarium sees mermaids returning to its waters from 6 October until 30 October this year.
Every Friday-Sunday in October, the mermaids will dive into the ocean habitat alongside sharks, stingrays, sea turtles and their fishy friends for mesmerising underwater displays throughout the day. There will also be the opportunity for guests to experience real-life, fish out of water meet-and-greets as well.
Just in time for Halloween, guests can come dressed up as their favourite mermaid for the chance to receive a special mermaid-themed prize from SEA LIFE Orlando Aquarium.
“Our beloved mermaid dive show is back at SEA LIFE Orlando, a family-fun experience we’ve hosted for so many years,” said Rachel Burden, marketing manager at SEA LIFE Orlando. “Our mermaids are ready to dive in and give all who venture into their habitat a magical experience they’re sure to never forget.”
Mermaid dives and meet-and-greets are included with the cost of regular admission to SEA LIFE Orlando Aquarium.
Siam Park unveils new water coaster
T
he thunder has arrived at Siam Park; the Water Kingdom has officially presented Saifa, its new slide. Saifa - meaning ‘lightning’ in Thai - is an electric attraction, where visitors battle it out in an aquatic race for 307
metres.
As a double slide, Saifa allows for a thrilling duel in which the sliders compete against each other in a thrilling downhill chase. But that's not all: the saucers, with fast, swooping open curves, add an extra dimension to the adventure.
During the ride, participants can watch their opponents in the adjacent lane, which not only adds to the visual appeal, but also reinforces the competitive nature of the duel.
Another highlight is the ‘head-to-head’ section, in which the sliders race towards their competitors practically head-on.
The topographical design of the track is innovative and unique. Saifa doesn't just drive spectacularly down the slopes. These are effortlessly overcome with the help of powerful boosters, adding speed and catapulting visitors upwards. The result is an attraction that is not only longer than expected, but also surprises visitors. Seen from below, the attraction is not visible in its entirety, and the real ride only becomes clear when visitors tackle the steep descents and winding sections at breakneck speed. The attraction's grand finale gets hearts racing as participants shoot off towards the horizon at full speed for a mesmerising finish, before finally plunging into the pool.

The designer of the attractin, ProSlide, was able to take full advantage of the park's orography, capitalising on the rocky landscape of the island of Tenerife to achieve steep slopes on the ride, which take adrenaline and vertigo to their maximum expression.
"With Saifa we continue to strengthen our commitment to innovation and quality, creating an attraction that will offer an unparalleled experience to our visitors, and that will strengthen our position as the best theme park in the world," said vice president of the Loro Parque group, Christoph Kiessling.
