Polin Waterparks and Pool Systems of Turkey has supplied the waterslides and an interactive water play structure to the South Australian Aquatic and Leisure Centre (SAALC) in Adelaide.
The waterslides consist of a bowl ride called Space Hole and a tunnel ride.
Space Hole comprises an enclosed flume exiting into a open bowl, followed by several whirls around the sides of the bowl and ending with a big splash into the 'hole'. The ride starts from a 15m/49ft tower and the slide part's length is 73m/240ft.
The other slide is a 102.05m/335ft tunnel ride, an enclosed tube slide and an exciting ride with turns and twists.
The third attraction is an interactive multilevel water play structure, namely Aquatower Type 160. Aquatower at SAALC is designed for a more enjoyable water play experience with waterslides, valves, water cannons and a bucket.
SAALC is an indoor all-year round swimming and recreational facility and the main competition and training venue for swimming, diving and water polo in South Australia.
The AU$100M/£65.3m facility, which opened in April this year, offers a 52m/170ft and a 55m/180ft swimming pool, water slides, water play structure, a community gym, café and car parking for 560 cars.
The aquatic facilities occupy 19,500sq m/210,000sq ft and were designed and contructed by AVP Commercial Pools, Australia.
