FusionFortress Introducing the world’s first all-in-one waterpark structure! Combining the interactivity of an AquaPlay with a wide range of water slides, from kids’ slides to high-thrill slides, FusionFortress is a mini-waterpark in a compact footprint.
With multiple levels of fun to explore, families can spend the day revelling in all of the experiences that FusionFortress has to offer. Featuring some of WhiteWater’s most legendary slides, two tipping buckets for maximum splash, and over 100 interactive features, FusionFortress would make an iconic cornerstone for any park. Or let it stand alone with a lazy river for a very viable starter waterpark.
