Start with innovation and consolidate with success Atlantis the Palm - KIDZ RallyRACER
Amós Casas, sales manager, Amusement Logic tells Park world how it’s done Trends, both in water parks and attractions and in any other industry, almost always start with innovation and consolidate with success. The best way to achieve that spark of innovation that transforms an industry such as water parks and attractions and initiates trends is to be open to change, to remain receptive to inspiration, and to be willing and ready to face the challenges imposed by necessity or chance. In the particular case of our sector, that of water parks and attractions, when a new need arises, such as the need to reduce water consumption, our technicians and professionals rack their brains to find ways to save water. Then, little by little, innovative sustainable solutions appear. On the other hand, when the aquatic sector cooperates with other industries and is inspired by other activities, such as naval simulators or extreme sports, new attractions appear, such as the wave machine or The Rapids, one of the latest attractions developed by Amusement Logic. Regarding The Rapids, the inspiration came from observing the sporting activity of elite athletes, professional adventurers and even action movie scenes. Before The Rapids, this
activity was exclusive to professionals or expert athletes. So we faced the challenge: is it possible to make a professional sporting activity with a strong adventure component accessible to the general public? Thus The Rapids was born, an accessible, controlled and safe whitewater circuit. Its operation and characteristics can be adjusted to make it suitable for amateurs and neophytes of the sport of kayaking, but also to make it a competitive experience for experts and professionals. In this way, the whitewater park, The Rapids, provides balance and encourages a broad spectrum of visitors to participate. But chance is also a powerful force for innovation. Penicillin, the microwave and Velcro are good examples. And, of course, chance also plays a role in the water park and amusement industry. In fact, many of our inventions have come about by accident. Such is the case of the Smurf Splash Pad, which Amusement Logic has recently launched on the market. During this pandemic, we happened to learn about the launch of a new cartoon series starring those little blue people, the Smurfs, who accompanied us in our childhood and are universally known. Someone in our team thought “why don’t they play in the water?” That’s how we got in touch with IMPS, the company that owns their image rights, and reached an agreement to develop
KIDZ RallyRACER - ProSlide’s KIDZ RallyRACER brings the pinnacle of a competitive water racing experience to young riders for the first time ever at Atlantis Aquaventure Dubai. Utilizing ProSlide’s patented RallyPOINTS – portions of u-shaped flume with low divider walls – that appear during the ride, young riders can see and hear their competition as they race side-by-side. The exclusive design merges the excitement and action of the original RallyRACER with the industry-leading design considerations present in ProSlide’s KIDZ rides.

the Smurf Splash Pad. With the creation of this new attraction, water becomes part of the blue entertainment. And with it, the experiences multiply and expand. For many years we have been developing children’s water areas without pool depth, but it was pure chance that took us a step further in what represents an industry innovation, the Smurf Splash Pad.
