Unveiled at WWA and showcased at IAAPA recently, Tunnel Vision™ is the latest innovation from special effects company Technifex.
Using animated video clips and state-of-the-art water screen technology, Tunnel Vision gives riders of enclosed tubes the thrill of sliding through aerial images such as rotating fan blades, chomping sharks and even a brick wall!
The system can be fitted to any straight 10ft, 54in enclosed slide section and a wide range of standard video images is available. Customised video clips can also be produced.
Designed to be easily serviceable and updateable, Tunnel Vision's features include a weather-tight top hatch for easy access to critical components, plus an isolated equipment compartment and built-in air conditioning/heating system to protect electronic equipment from moisture and weather conditions.
In the tube itself, low pressure, high resolution water screens allow for both safe pass through and high image quality, while a built-in amplifier and stereo speaker system are designed to enhance the visual experience. Updateable media stores hours of video images, so repeat riders get a fresh experience every time.
The whole system is designed so that it can be retro-fitted to existing 54in enclosed slides during off-season and/or off-hour periods.

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. |
