WhiteWater is overseeing more than 60 new projects around the world this year.
The experienced water manufacturer is set to green-light diverse installments across indoor and outdoor water parks, at hotels and resorts, and on cruise ships.

Michigan’s biggest indoor water park, Bavarian Blast at Bavarian Inn in Frankenmuth, only opened in spring. “Immersing guests in traditional German motifs, it boasts 16 water slides, including the world’s first inner tube Parallel Pursuit.” Stated WhiteWater.
Meanwhile, Holiday Inn Resort Orlando Suites in Orlando, Florida, will be inviting guests to three new slides, a FlowRider Double, and a RainFortress 3.
Over in Latin America, Brazil, Beach Park in Aquiraz celebrated the world’s tallest water coaster – a Master Blaster named “Surreal” that launches from 92ft (28m) high.
The attraction of Asia
In Asia, the Regnum Carya Golf & Spa Resort in Antalya province, Turkey, will entice new and returning guests with two towers, covering body slides, inner tube slides, and raft rides – a total of 13 – as well as kids’ slides and an AquaPlay 1750 decked with Life Floor.

WhiteWater is providing two AquaTubes integrated into what will be an iconic “Suncastle” that will welcome guests, as well as a beautiful splash pad decked with Life Floor.
“We fulfil our client’s ambitions”
“The volume of projects WhiteWater delivers each year, with 2025 being no exception, speaks to the quality our team produces. Time and again, we fulfil our client’s ambitions to elevate their guest experience,” said Onno Meeter, President, Water Parks.
“Across various venue types, including over a dozen in hotels and resorts, these projects show that creativity comes in different forms.
“Sometimes that’s about creating the biggest and the fastest; more often it’s about providing the best overall experience with the right ride mix for everyone as well as making operations smarter.
“And WhiteWater is proud to be an integral part of helping clients do just that.”
