Polin Waterparks has supplied the waterpark for huge new Land of Legends theme park in Antalya, Turkey.

The entertainment facility features a varied list of attractions from a five-star hotel to a dolphinarium, a wildlife park and a waterpark called Legends of Aqua.

The project is a collaboration between Rixos World Parks & Entertainment (Serik, Turkey), Emaar Real Estate (Dubai, U.A.E.) and global cultural creativity brand Dragone Productions (La Louvière, Belgium).
