NEWS: Rostov Indoor Waterpark to open in May

Polin has sent us a press release about the upcoming opening of the Rostov Indoor Waterpark this May.

A new waterpark designed and installed by Polin Waterslides & Pool Systems will open in May at the Horizon Megacenter, a mall in Rostov-on-Don, a port city on the Don River. The Don is a major shipping lane connecting southwestern Russia with the north.

 

Polin has its headquarters in Istanbul, Turkey, but now operates an office in Krasnador, Russia. That regional location is making it easy for Polin to be on-site and oversee the complex's construction. Polin is installing some of its most popular rides at the new facility, including its Windigo, Navigatour and Looping Rocket. Each of these waterslides is constructed using Resin Transfer Molding (RTM) technology. This technology, which Polin offers exclusively, gives the company's products a shiny, appealing interior and exterior that is especially attractive when combined with Polin's Natural Light and Special Pattern Effects.

 

An Impressive Investment

 

The Megacenter Gorizont Aquapark will join a variety of other entertainment amenities already offered at the giant Horizon mall complex (also known as the Gorizont), the largest mall in Southern Russia. Current offerings include a multiplex cinema, a family entertainment complex, a bowling alley and a fitness center with a 25-meter swimming pool.

 

The new waterpark addition, which began construction in December, will cover more than 27,000 square meters (290,625 square feet), with more than 6,000 square meters (64,583 square feet) devoted to the aquatic attractions. Owner NGO Gorizont LLC is investing 1.393 billion rubles (US$45 million) into the all-season complex, which will be able to accommodate up to 1,800 people.

 

Aquatic Attractions Will Appeal to Everyone

 

Among the facilities that Polin is incorporating into the facility are spa pools, a three-level spa complex and a swimming pool for training, water aerobics and games.

 

In addition, attractions for younger family members will include an octopus and a frog slide, a giraffe shower, a mushroom and a dolphin fountain, and a themed Aquatower Type 800. Like its other products, the Aquatower is one of Polin's unique creations that come in a variety of colors and themes so that clients can customize them to match their branding.
