WhiteWater’s Global Project Updates at IAAPA Expo 2023

New Products, New Sensations

Unveiled at the show was Wall Runner, a new water slide sensation that extends the zero G feeling like never before. Through artfully crafted arcs, this innovative ride creates a drifting experience that propels rafts sideways while maintaining forward momentum. Wall Runner not only offers first-of-its-kind thrills, its unique shape also provides novel branding and theming opportunities for a most photogenic attraction.  

Other products launched earlier this year are:

  • Infinity Master Blaster, WhiteWater's popular water coaster in a continuous loop ride path
  • Mini Blaster, pint-sized rendition of the thrilling original
  • Elevated AquaForms 12 won this year's Brass Ring Award for Best New Product, Water Park Ride/Attraction under $2 million

Complete range of wave products are available to WhiteWater clients: sheet wave with FlowRider®, deep flow stationary wave with FlowSurf™, and surf lagoon with Endless Surf. All offer different ride experiences yet have the potential be anchor attractions in leisure and entertainment venues.

Vertical Water Parks

Trending this year is the concept of vertical water parks. These sky-high towers not only serve as landmarks, they also pack in the most thrills per square meter. Soon to open is the Icon Tower at Meryal in Qatar, which is breaking two records: the world's tallest water slide and the most number of water slides coming off a single tower.

The tallest water slide tower in North America, The Rise of Icarus, will open summer 2024 at Mt. Olympus Water & Theme Park in Wisconsin, USA. In China, M100 Waterpark in Zhejiang will be the world's tallest water slide tower when completed, boasting 100m in height and launching 12 slides.
