Modern tourist is very difficult to surprise. Industry tourist attractions is constantly updated with all sorts of creative solutions and attractive offers. The owners of the largest water parks in the world once came to the conclusion that it is not necessary to indefinitely increase the number of slides and to expand the variety of rides – need to look for more radical ways to replicate the water parks. So it was found an original opportunity to impress your visitors and simultaneously develop the Aqua business with the sharks. Rare tourist will refuse to feel a little bit of extreme during the holidays. A great opportunity to tickle your own nerves is to ride a water attraction surrounded by toothy predators. The traditional Park is transformed into a real extreme-complex. This unusual idea was adopted not only by the parks, but also other objects, the major specificity of which is in no way affiliated with water.
Extreme attraction in the United Arab Emirates
One of these unusual extreme-built rides is in the Water Park “Aquaventure” in the United Arab Emirates. The central element of the Park stands on the tower of Neptune with a height of 27 meters. On the top of this tower you have to climb to participate in the mega-extreme attraction. With a height of 9-storey building daredevils commits so-called “Leap of faith” and in a matter of seconds down the water slide, getting into the acrylic tunnel surrounded by sharks, rays and other underwater creatures.
From dangerous predators humans are separated only by thethin layer of nearly invisible acrylic glass. It creates the illusion of being under water in the close company of blood-thirsty sharks. For a while it may even seems that shark’s is about overcoming the barrier and acrylic… But that, of course, does not happen because the person is under the protection of acrylic construction.
Glass pool with the sharks in Las Vegas
At the other end of the world, namely in the city of entertainment Las Vegas is a luxury hotel “Golden Nugget”. Amid all the pomp at the brightest “spot” is the pool with the sharks. To spend time among the majestic predators you need to climb to the third floor and go down to the level of the first floor on special waterslide. Some part runs along a dark closed tunnel – this adds to the attraction spicy notes. After a few seconds the opaque walls of the tunnel are dropped and the person seems to lose under his body.
He “falls” in a transparent acrylic tunnel, around which sixteen are teeming with evil sharks and about three hundred species of good fish. Abrupt change of darkness and light, the sudden disappearance of the opaque walls of the tunnel, moving the clear tube under water surrounded by predators – all this is a powerful adrenaline rush. Passing through the tunnel, people get into the glass pool through the acrylic partition, you can observe the sharks, which happened a few seconds ago. Now consider your new toothy friends more carefully, slowly floating in the glass pool.
How to build extreme attraction with sharks
To implement the crazy idea of creating extreme rides by using advanced technology acrylic glazing. Acrylic can be manufactured underwater tunnels complex shapes with cylindrical or rectangular cross section. The most important aspect in this issue is security. Acrylic is the high strength material provides absolute protection of human rights. Glass thickness is calculated with a large margin of safety. If the neighborhoods can harm the acrylic underwater tube. The material can easily withstand the water pressure and constant dynamic load in operation of the attraction. The material is not afraid of mechanical damage.
An important property of acrylic is its high degree of transparency. The tunnel walls seem to be almost invisible, the image behind the glass is not distorted, the colors do not fade and will remain naturally bright. Neighborhood with the sharks is perceived as completely real and unavoidable. In this situation, it is easy to forget that from predators separates powerful, acrylic impregnable armor. Excellent aesthetic characteristics of underwater tunnels persist throughout the entire lifetime. With proper care, acrylic for years retains shine and transparency for permanent contact with water.
