ProSlide rides for new Chinese water park

ProSlide Technology will be providing a number of the rides to be on offer at the new Longmenzhen water park in northern China. Currently being designed as the first large-scale, world-class water park in the region, Longmenzhen is part of a hotel, spa and commercial district being designed by Forrec.

The park will boast one of Asia's largest mix of attractions, including more than 30 slides, waterplay, pools, rivers, surfing machines and the largest surfing wave pool in China. The distinctive theme will combine traditional Chinese architecture with modern highlights. Scheduled to open later this year, the park is targeting both local and international visitors of all ages.

Spanning 12.5ha (31 acres) the park's peak day attendance will be 15,000. The waterpark will comprise a 7,500sq m (1.9acre) wave pool, a lazy river and two spa pool complexes. ProSlide Technology has provided a number of the rides, including pipeline tube slides, Octopus racers, Tornado, TantrumALLEY, Behemoth Bowl, Double Cannon Bowl, Plummet Speed slides, Tornado Wave and RideHouse.

Whitewater West is supplying the teen water play area, a Flow Rider, bodyslides and a 1050 water play structure. The company behind the project, the Sichuan Longmenzhen Tourism & Resorts, is aiming to duplicate the success of the Happy Magic Watercube Water Park, and was keen to incorporate the design brand which Forrec developed at Waterclub into their future waterpark developments.
