LA QUINTA, Calif. USA – SplashTacular, the largest US-based waterslide manufacturer, has been selected to provide Shark Reef Water Park with waterslide attractions that incorporate the recently announced SplashTacular Enhancements™ line of products, including the SplashChallenge™, HydroStyling™ and HydroLighting™ systems.
Located in Kennewick, Washington, Shark Reef Water Park will be a premier seasonal family park complete with year-round indoor dry attractions. Phase one will be designed and built on ten acres. The facility will include car parking that will convert into a drive-in movie theater in the evenings. The project is scheduled to open Memorial Day 2012 and is on pace for a July 2011 ground breaking.
Successful local business and project owners, Mike Hillman and Dave Schlotthauer, have always been kids at heart and wanted to bring more family-oriented activities to their community. “Many people in other areas of the country have questioned us regarding an outdoor waterpark in Washington State,” said Hillman. “What they often don’t realize is that we are perfectly located on the desert side of the state with an ideal dry climate that typically enjoys more than 300 days of sunshine a year.”
SplashTacular hosts corporate offices in California, and operations and production facilities in both Kansas and Texas.
