| The Glassy waterslide is the world's first transparent waterslides |
|
Polin Waterparks has launched the world's first ever transparent composite slide.
One of three new products launched at IAAPA, the slide, called Glassy, was developed in the company's R&D centre and is produced using Light Resin Transfer Molding (LRTM), a cost-effective manufacturing process that creates long-lasting and uniformly smooth/even products without creating environmental emissions. Unlike traditional acrylic waterslides, Glassy is completely transparent and the finish does not degrade over time.
Polin has been championing this technique in the manufacture of waterslides since 2006, when it converted 100 per cent of its fibreglass production to LRTM.
The slide builds on a number of a Polin's innovations including: special lighting effects and integrated sound effects, as well as transparent and patterned composites unique to the company.
Ali Cansun, director of R&D said: As a pioneer of the amusement industry, we are proud to announce Glassy Waterslide, which will make a dynamic difference in the industry."

attractions, and family-friendly hotels. But the offering that truly stands out with fun

| Eye tracking AI Aquarium from ITRI helps visitors identify fish species |
|
| It can take a while for visitors to identify the species of fish they’re looking at in an
aquarium – trying to match them up with information on an information panel can take time
and isn’t always straightforward. Now a new aquarium by Taiwan’s Industrial Technology
Research Institute (ITRI) helps by exhibiting marine life information in real time
according to visitors’ line of sight. |
