ProSlide Wins WWA Leading Edge Awards for Mega Mayhem and The Water Temple
ProSlide Technology Inc., an industry leader in water ride manufacturing and design, has been honoured with WWA Leading Edge Awards for its projects Mega Mayhem at Rapids Waterpark in Florida, and The Water Temple at El Dorado Water Park in the Caribbean.
These prestigious awards acknowledge the innovation, high performance, and collaborations that distinguish pioneering water attractions.
Phil Hayles, ProSlide vice president of business development and strategic accounts, states: “The WWA Leading Edge Awards recognise the hard work and creativity that goes into developing exceptional water attractions. This honour reflects our commitment to innovation and the strong partnerships we’ve built, which are essential in bringing projects like Mega Mayhem and The Water Temple to life.”
Collaborative Achievements
Mega Mayhem debuted in April 2024 and is the first water coaster at Rapids Waterpark in Riviera Beach, Florida. This ride is the park’s longest, featuring steep inclines that ensure a memorable experience. With four FlyingSAUCER 20s and three uphill blast sections, this thrilling Dueling RocketBLAST offers 255 metres (837 feet) of high-speed racing.
The energy-efficient ride has a capacity of 720 riders per hour and was delivered through collaboration between ProSlide, Fiberglass Systems, Cogito Automation, and Premier Parks.
El Dorado Water Park in the Caribbean is renowned for its diverse attractions, supplied by ProSlide. Its first phase, The Water Temple, opened in May 2024, featuring a TORNADO 60, BehemothBOWL 60, ProRACER, three PIPElines, a KIDZ Zone, and a wave pool. The rides are seamlessly integrated into the park’s tropical landscape, providing a unique experience for visitors of all ages.
“We’re delighted to have partnered with Vanstone and ADG to realise this vision,” says a spokesperson from ProSlide.
“We’re deeply honoured to receive these awards in partnership with Rapids and El Dorado. We extend our gratitude to our partners and teams for making these projects truly extraordinary!”
Last month, ProSlide celebrated the success of IAAPA Expo Europe 2024 in Amsterdam, which highlighted the changing landscape of European water parks. Europe boasts a rich theme park and water park heritage, and the inspiring event showcased how the market is evolving through thoughtful innovations that resonate with today’s guests.
