Polin Waterparks has launched a dedicated R&D centre, where 50 leading engineers are working on new projects, rides and first-of-a-kind gaming technologies
As one of the world’s largest waterpark suppliers, Polin Waterparks is committed to investing in research and development (R&D), forging new paths in the industry and being responsive to clients’ changing demands.
One area where the Polin team has been focusing is the integration of technology, interactivity and gaming into the waterpark experience and hence the company has launched Polin Game Technologies.
Polin Game Technologies Polin Game Technologies division focuses on new concepts and technologies by strategically combining the experience of its highly skilled R&D engineers with those of other critical sectors — including some of the best known companies in their fields.
Combine that proficiency with 40 years of dependable, trustworthy expertise, and customers can now benefit from the development of some of today’s most innovative gaming and interactive products. Furthermore, the wide variety of offerings in the Polin catalogue is specifically designed to make waterpark guests want to come back again and again.
Slide ’n Score The future of adrenaline-soaring gaming is here! Guests collect a remote controller from a kiosk and log in before entering the ride, choosing one of five difficulty levels. Strapping the unit on their arm and slipping controllers over their fingers, players have access to multiple buttons that match LED-illuminated targets within the ride. As guests shoot through the waterslide – which can be either body slides or tube slides — they collect points by pushing the button that matches each target at precise points while sliding past. At the end of each sliding session, guests can observe their score on screens positioned in the landing area.
• Easy to play • No complicated instructions necessary • Guests not required to carry heavy boards or rafts • Accurate positioning system without use of RFID tags • Social media integration
Slide ’n Roll null,This new offering combines all of Polin’s exclusive technologies — unique sound, lighting and design, special effects — into one slide. The result is an experience that delivers a full range of sensory stimuli for guests.
• Combines exclusive sound, design and light effects • Full sensory stimuli • Special effects impact guests throughout entire slide experience • Latest innovation technologies • Ease of operation and maintenance • Sound effects available • Endless theming possibilities • Fluorescent effect with special high-tech resin
SplashWare Polin’s multi-functional Splashware System, which launched last year, is the world’s first and only Integrated Slide Information System. It offers an innovative modular solution and the system enhances slide safety, helps reduce operational risks and costs, improves the customer experience, boosts marketing efficiency, optimises capacity and can also significantly increase revenue by introducing new sources of income.
Splash VR Polin has just unveiled a breakthrough product, the first VR waterslide experience. In cooperation with French company Polymorph, the first installation was recently completed at the brand new Land of Legends resort in Antalya, Turkey.
Splash VR is the first technology solution that allows an operator to deploy a VR experience in a waterpark, without changing the structure of the water slides. This ambitious project took more than eight months of research and development, structured around major innovations such as:
• The design of an indoor user-tracking solution that can be deployed on any slide without affecting its integrity. Using radio waves, the headset is able to triangulate exactly where it is located in the slide
• Design and production of the first waterproof VR headset. Drawn and printed in 3D, the headset is able to play 360° film, calculating in real-time its position in the slide. The headset is comfortable and ergonomic, but above all provides exceptional 360° immersion
• The development of a 360° media player with the ability to synchronise the speed of the film with both the speed of the visitor and their position in the slide
Splash VR synchronises the 360º film with the guest’s slide position and speed
Polin developed a 3D-printed headset
