American Resort Management selects WhiteWater as exclusive global water attraction vendor for Mattel Wonder Indoor Waterparks, working with Martin Aquatic on IP‑driven indoor waterpark roll‑outs.
WhiteWater is the exclusive water attraction vendor for Mattel Wonder Indoor Waterparks, following a new partnership with American Resort Management, the licensor for five planned parks. The deal covers all future Mattel Wonder Indoor Waterparks locations, with WhiteWater supplying the full aquatic attractions package for each site. For the industry, the agreement confirms a single‑supplier model for what Mattel positions as a scalable, IP‑rich indoor waterpark platform.
Under the partnership, American Resort Management in Dallas will oversee operations and licensing, while Vancouver‑based WhiteWater delivers slides, play structures, wave and surf products, and guest engagement systems. Martin Aquatic leads aquatic design, integrating Mattel brands such as Barbie and Hot Wheels across attractions and environments. The first of the five Mattel Wonder Indoor Waterparks is planned for Orlando, Florida, with additional sites to follow in other North American markets.
WhiteWater is the exclusive water attraction vendor in part because of its track record on high‑profile, large‑scale projects and previous collaborations with both Martin Aquatic and American Resort Management. Planned attraction mixes include competition slide complexes, wave pools and multi‑level aquatic play, alongside two new ride concepts, one of which will be exclusive to Mattel Wonder Indoor Waterparks. This gives the concept a clear signature element while relying on proven capacity workhorses for the rest of the line‑up.
‘We are excited to collaborate with WhiteWater on the development of these parks, where guests will experience unique attractions together with their favorite brands,’ said Rick Coleman, CEO of American Resort Management. ‘Bringing the leading waterslide manufacturer to the team means that fans of the Mattel brand can expect the same high‑quality experience from location to location.’ Onno Meeter, president, water parks at WhiteWater, added: ‘With a history of successful projects with both Martin Aquatic and American Resort Management, we’re thrilled to be collaborating with them again, together with new partners, to create location‑based entertainment that is both familiar and novel. It is indeed very special to be working with a client to design a never‑before‑seen slide with new ride experiences exclusive to their parks.’
