14 slides feature in the park, as does a family area with its own pool and separate activities
The Aquatic Development Group (ADG) is behind designs for a new waterpark in Quebec, Canada, which opened its doors last month.
The indoor waterpark, developed at a cost of CA$65m (US$48.7m, €45.7m, £39.5m) is the first of its kind in Quebec.
The Polynesian-themed 102,000sq m (1.1 million sq ft) Bora Parc features advanced waterpark technologies, including the FlowRider system, a 4,000sq ft (371sq m) wave pool and an adventure wave river using ADG’s WaveTek technology.
With a capacity for 1,000 people, 14 slides feature in the park, as does a family area with its own pool and separate activities. Dry option include private cabanas and a restaurant terrace with space for private events.
A part of the Village Vacances Valcartier Resort, Bora Parc was added to the destination to increase average guest length of stay, also providing a market differential to stand out from competitors.
The waterpark was the vision of the park’s former president Guy Drouin, who died from cancer days before its opening. Since 1972, Drouin invested more than CA$130m (US$97.5m, €91.5m, £79m) in upgrading the resort and tourist attraction’s facilities.
Villages Vacances welcomes an estimated 500,000 visitors annually. The waterpark and hotel complex addition has been predicted to boost those figures by around 200,000 visitors annually.
