The sand is too hot, put your foot bottom Sears in a few seconds, it is not even possible to stand in front of the fan to cool, the fan will spray fog as the water warms and hit the air.
This explains why the number of water parks in the Middle East has accelerated with investment in the region.

There is a huge dome ceiling in the lobby, and the ceiling is supported by pillars in the shape of huge marine life.
In the middle, an overall octopus arm appears in a huge fountain, made of tiny glass tubes, so the entrance area even smells like water.
The walls of the hall are covered with simulated Greek murals and tapestries, and the ceiling of the corridor is hung with chandeliers that look like glass jellyfish.

The acre park, which borders a sparkling beach, looks like an oasis.
The gorgeous pipes, bare concrete passages and steel stairs that are common in most water parks are missing.
At the waterpark, many slides meander through lush gardens filled with palm trees and tropical birds, while the entrance is hidden in Inca-like temples.
\"We want design to be natural --
\"Based on the green environment, meet all the climate needs in the region,\" said EDSA chairman Robert Belin . \".
\"We are very fortunate to have a creative team and an inspiring customer base who share the vision to do something new and exciting.
\"Everyone is on the same page and it really comes together on the details of the pavement, the landscape, the hard landscape, the bridge. . .
It\'s all about influencing how a person feels in space.
EDSA was founded in 1960 by American landscape designer Edward Durrell Stone.
His father, old Edward Durrell Stone.
Some of its earliest projects include the General Motors Building in New York City and John F.

\"In the resort environment, the comfort-oriented feature is that EDSA was fortunate enough to participate in the Atlanta brand in 1993,\" said Bellin . \".
\"It was in Atlanta, Bahamas, and recently
Resorts have been opened in Sanya, China, and will soon open in Hawaii.
Dubai\'s extraordinary style of water architecture is essential.
As explained by Olivia arms Ke, operations director of Aquaventure, \"The theme helps bring the story of Atlanta into Aquaventure Water Park, allowing us to maintain with the DNA of the resort
\"To pull it down, it takes more than just the wave of the wand.
\"In terms of direction, the design brief is relatively loose,\" said Bellin . \".
\"We know it has to offer extreme adventure and family-
Friendly elements.
In general, the program itself began to function during the conceptual design phase.
He added, \"There are a total of hundreds of people on the team at different stages, stages and areas.
Internally, we have commitments from more than 15 to 20 people.
In addition to EDSA staff, there are architects, marine scientists, engineers, manufacturers, interior designers, subject matter experts, audio-visual experts, graphic designers, Pathfinder, artistic director and the entire construction team.
The most critical step in the design process is \"coordinating many creative work meetings that involve the client community\'s desire to incorporate the revenue generation, technology and ambitious water park components of the site,\" said Bellin.
It is also important to create the \"wow\" factor-it is a different thing that has never been done at this scale or complexity.
\"The end result is not just for presentation.
Many of Aquaventure\'s slides are cleverly connected to the Italian face --like 2.
Belin called the Lazy River \"Traffic Entertainment\" 3 kilometers network.
It includes sliding over the rubber ring from the exit of one slide and then floating towards the next slide.

Ripples are triggered every few seconds, while other waves are more like white --
You will be in a canoe in the rapids.
It may seem accidental, but it is actually controlled by care.
\"Water slide designers play an important role in safety and control. . .
For Rivers, rapids, and tides, there are adjustable settings for speed and strength, \"said Bellin.
The river network reduces the time to queue up for rides and helps guests stay cool while visiting the park, which takes about 45 minutes.
There are escalator belts that can take guests to the slopes, but they have to get off the horse in order to get to the highest slide.

Lucky guests find themselves racing or getting up with the tingling light
Take a closer look at the belly of the shark above.
It attracts family and excitement.
It is also a highlight of the park.
Belin says his team makes sure the slides have \"unexpected \'hold your breath, \'moments like double descent sequences, or connections to marine habitats similar to shark tube slides that make you live more.
He added that there are so many people on his team, \"one of the biggest challenges is being able to get everyone on the same page on the same day.
In addition, we always recognize the cost and reality of ensuring that creative ideas remain within budget.
\"It\'s not cutting corners.
On a 2013-foot water adventure, a $27 million beach, the Tower of Poseidon, was completed.

This is not complacency.
\"We master the trends in water parks, do our own research, and work closely with slide makers who understand the resort DNA and in which direction we want to move.
They align with our vision and know that we want to make and develop slides that guests can\'t experience anywhere except our water park.
It is important to have slides to wow our guests and to have us on the map but also for our entire family --
\"Friendly and ocean theme,\" said arms Ke . \".
Beilin added that a crystal ball is needed to stay on the cusp.
\"We like to see design from things we haven\'t done, unconventional things and how we take things to a new level in our excitement.
Guests always feel comfortable during this process is necessary, so in Aquaventure, We irrigate the sidewalk, conceive the transportation entertainment system, and create a series of viewing Portal areas where people can

As Bellin said.
\"Observing how people react to other people\'s adventures is almost an element of entertainment in itself.
This is really a happy ending.
