A world-first
Dr. Seuss waterpark will debut onboard cruise line operator Carnival’s newest vessel in 2018.
With slides supplied by Polin, the Dr. Seuss WaterWorks on Carnival Horizon will be a thematic take on the waterslide complexes typically used on Carnival ships.
Included in the on-board attraction will be a 450-foot (137-metre), red and white Cat in the Hat water slide (Polin’s Black Hole), a blue and white polka dot, 213-foot (65-metre) Fun Things water slide (Polin’s Aquatube) with special lighting effects, a 150-gallon tipping bucket patterned after The Cat’s hat, and a children’s zone with water spray toys.
The addition of the IP to Carnival’s waterparks is the expansion of the fleet’s ‘Seuss at Sea’ programme – a partnership that includes dining and entertainment experiences themed around the world of
Dr. Seuss for the estimated 800,000 children a year that enjoy a stay with Carnival.
The 3,934-passenger Carnival Horizon will set sail on 2 April 2018, with the Dr. Seuss WaterWorks leading the line in terms of children’s entertainment. The liner will also feature a SkyRide attraction, IMAX Theatre and a SportSquare outdoor recreation area with ropes course.
