Groundbreaking for Chinese waterpark with huge WhiteWater order

WhiteWater representatives joined park owners in illuminating park signage during the groundbreaking ceremony

The groundbreaking ceremony for China’s Yinji Xinmi Waterpark has taken place.

Scheduled to be completed in spring 2016, the waterpark will be one of the first destinations in the world to unveil WhiteWater Attractions’ ‘No Boundaries’, which combines climbing walls, an adventure trail, ropes course and zip lines.

In total, WhiteWater said more than $34m worth of waterslides, design services, and AquaPlay structures would go into this project. “This project marks the largest order of waterpark products and attractions for WhiteWater and for the entire industry,” said Geoff Chutter, CEO & president of WhiteWater.

WhiteWater is the sole supplier for all waterpark equipment at Yinji Xinmi Waterpark, as well as installation and engineering and design services.

The new waterpark will also feature two ‘Abyss’ waterslides, two ‘AquaPlay’ structures, multiple ‘Fusion’ waterslides, and three wave pools from the WhiteWater range.
