Incorporating VR Technology into Waterslide Ride Is Breakthrough for Waterpark Industry
Park guests can now experience a trip through the lost city of Atlantis on the first waterslide in history to incorporate virtual-reality simulation into the journey.
Traveling down a waterslide has always been a unique adventure for guests. The path may be the same each time, but the adrenaline rush can change based on factors such as the person’s state of mind, weather, the sun’s angle, the water temperature, body weight and even the rider’s swimwear.
Now, however, waterslide riders can experience a unique and wholly different excitement, entering diverse, one-of-a-kind worlds as they shoot through a slide’s bends and curves. The new twist is based on the genius collaboration between Polin Waterparks (Kocaeli, Turkey) and Polymorph Software (Montgermont, France). The two firms’ R&D departments partnered to create an innovative first for the waterpark industry with the development of “Splash VR”, the first technology solution that deploys a virtual-reality experience for waterpark guests without impacting the structure of existing waterslides.
The first park in the world to add the technology to an existing slide is “The Land of Legends” in Antalya, Turkey. This world-class facility features a long and varied list of attractions — from a five-star hotel to a dolphinarium and a wildlife park.
