Magic spheres give riders a fuzzy time

December 19th, 2011

Polin has launched a new waterslide series called Magic Spheres.

Apart from its amazing futuristic appearance, the Magic Spheres concept is unique in its geometry and riding path. In terms of riding experience it offers a fuzzy path which makes the waterslide particularly exciting.

Riders can experience a new path each time they ride.

It is a high capacity ride carrying four people per ride – expandable to six people per ride. Polin’s natural light effects and special pattern effects can be applied for any customisation, and it is being produced using Polin’s special resin transfer moulding composites.

Riders start the journey on a four–person raft. After passing through the tunnel, they experience a big drop into the sphere – dropping at an angle of 32 degrees and reaching speeds of more than 50kmh.

Inside the giant sphere they follow a fuzzy path – auditory and visual effects can be added to make it more exciting. Then riders oscillate up and down as the raft follows another tunnel slide which comes to an end in a splash pool or a dry-out.
