Surfing The Wave |

German company, ATV Action Team, diversified from making snow for TV production companies to creating surfing products two years ago.
The Wave is a standing wave, which uses endlessly revolving water. Staff at the company studied Munich River's famous wave, The Eisbach, as a basis for the technology, setting out to create an experience which is as close to surfing as possible.
The products range in size from 15m (49ft) to 30m (98ft)-wide.
ATV's Rainer Klimaschewski believes there's a great deal of potential for standing waves, as they give the opportunity of an authentic surfing experience with less investment than big wave pools. An installation was recently completed at the Alpincenter in Bottrop, Germany, and more are lined up for 2010. The product is also available as a mobile construction.

Small Footprint, Big Significance: Studio City Water Park |
|
Long known for its fancy casinos, Macau realized within the past decade that it must
diversify its tourism scene to attract new crowds. With the ambition of becoming the
leisure hub of China’s 72-million strong Greater Bay Area, the city began adding shows,
attractions, and family-friendly hotels. But the offering that truly stands out with fun
for everyone is Studio City Water Park – Macau’s first stand-alone water park, with all
the water slides and aquatic play structures supplied by WhiteWater. |
