Siam Park: Leading Edge Award
This TripAdvisor® #1 rated park is continually pushing the limits of innovation and this summer released another world’s first water coaster hybrid. Singha combines two new ProSlide® exclusive technologies in a single ride, a hybrid: FlyingSAUCER®/ RocketBLAST®. “Its constant acceleration, extreme curves and adrenaline-pumping drops will drive guests to our park for years,” says Christoph Kiessling, Siam Park Managing Director.
Other guest favorites at Siam include icons like Dragon (a ProSlide® TORNADO® 60), Kinnaree (TORNADO® 24/ TornadoWAVE®), and Tower of Power (ProSlide® FreeFALL™) that drops through a shark tank.

Kalahari Resorts, Pocono Mountains: Leading Edge Award
“ProSlide® stands behind their work, unlike anyone else in the industry” says Todd Nelson, President, Kalahari Resorts. Which is why they’ve turned to ProSlide® for both phases of their new property in the Pocono Mountains. Phase one opened this summer with 12 rides and the newest generation RideHOUSE® 600.
The four-flume ProSlide® custom complex includes the world’s first indoor TornadoWAVE®, a ProBOWL™, a Hybrid: TORNADO® 24/ TORNADO® 24/ TORNADO® 24, and a TWISTER™ body slide.
Positioning the complex in a corner of the park will enable the park to easily accommodate their planned expansion in 2017: the wall will be removed and new rides will be added to the existing tower. The second phase of the park will include another 10+ attractions, making it the largest Kalahari water park.

Everland Caribbean Bay: Board Award
This world-class water park, Asia-Pacific’s third largest, attracted 1.5M visitors in 2014. This summer they turned to ProSlide® for its highest capacity, anchor water attraction. The result: Mega Storm. It’s a 6-person hybrid: HydroMAGNETIC® MAMMOTH®/ TORNADO® 60, the 2013 winner of IAAPA’s Best New Water Park Ride.
The project was such a success that the park stayed open an extra month — with just Mega Storm and their lazy river operating – to help satisfy the demand!
