WhiteWater is introducing two hot new attractions to its roster, including
FusionFortress, a pre-fabricated waterpark structure that’s ready to install anywhere
The all-in-one FusionFortress is a mini-waterpark that can fit in a compact footprint
WhiteWater, the waterparks and attractions company, is a leading global designer and manufacturer of innovative waterpark products and active family attractions, specialising in waterslides, multi-level water play structures, wave-generating equipment, FlowRider stationary surfing machines, harnessed attractions, interactive play, and water rides.
The road to innovation is paved not by technology but people, passion and constant reinvention. WhiteWater’s commitment to creating ‘new’ experiences is more than just a mainstay, it is what drives the company forward.
Constantly striving to deliver innovative and fresh guest experiences, the company takes pride in making a difference in the world’s best theme and water parks. WhiteWater’s industry-leading innovation is driven by a team of 600 extremely talented employees in eight offices around the world, working together to complete over 5,000 projects since 1980.
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.
