IAAPA 2015: New range of waterpark slides offers designers limitless possibilities
POSTED 17 Nov 2015 . BY Alice Davis
Samples of Polin's new slide range on display at IAAPA
Turkish waterslide manufacturer Polin has launched a new range of fiberglass options inspired by the artist's palette.

Launching at IAAPA, a series of seven brand new design choices are on offer, with textured, coloured, metallic, mosaic and wood-effect slides now possible.

"We need to make sure we provide what waterpark designers need and want," said Sohret Pakis, director of marketing and communications at Polin. "The collection is inspired by the idea of making waterpark art."

A design team can now choose from graffiti, mosaic, triangulated, wood, reflective and honeycomb finishes, which can be customized. The slide 'n roll is another new addition, which features sound and light effects.

"The graffiti slide can be made with a waterpark's own design, and its manufactured into the slide, not painted on at the end, so it won't come off or fade. Imagine using the graffiti option to design an urban street-inspired waterpark," Pakis said.
