specially designed double
tubes on two parallel slides.
After launch, the competition
commences as the rafts gain
speed, slicing through tight
turns while passing through
enclosed and open parts of the
course. Just before reaching the
nale, riders are enveloped in
darkness and then suddenly
enter a 25-foot, 50-degree drop
where they plunge down, ac-
celerating to the top speed of
32 mph.
Ugur Degirmenci, project
engineer for Polin adds: “It
does not end there. The two
double tubes then head into
the mouth of Cobra. Unique
fog, a high-pitched hiss, wa-
ter sprays and other visual
effects make it more exciting
than ever while the spectators
below think the riders have
been 'swallowed' by the Co-
bra. Then, powerful G-forces
take over as riders emerge and
then oscillate up and down
until the tubes stop.”
“The King Cobra will
surely be the thrill of the rid-
ers’ lives. Two double tubes
with two riders on each are
in the same slide, dropping
down at the same time. The
excitement of an unexpected
drop and the fear of crash-
ing is just breathtaking," said
Sohret Pakis, Polin marketing
manager. "Expertly designed
conguration and uniquely
planned color formulation cre-
ates an illusion that makes this
attraction absolutely unique in
the industry.”

ProSlide Technology to deliver two Mammoth slides
Wild Adventures marks 15th anniversary with $4 Million waterpark expansion
Georgia's Wild Adventures
Theme Park has announced that it
will celebrate its 15th anniversary
with one of its biggest expansions
to date. In 2011, a $4 million expan-
sion of its waterpark, Splash Island
will include two new family water
rides supplied by Canada's ProSlide
Technology and other creature com-
forts.
“Since Wild Adventures rst
opened its doors in 1996, it’s always
been a central gathering spot for
South Georgia and North Florida
families. Today, we are a large-scale
170-acre theme, water and animal
park all rolled into one. Plus, we’re
committed to featuring top family-
friendly acts in the area’s largest out-
door amphitheater,” said Bob Mont-
gomery, Wild Adventures general
manager. “With this Splash Island
expansion, we will have invested
more than $10 million in improve-
ments and upgrades since 2007.”
The 2011 waterpark additions
will add three acres to Splash Is-
land’s footprint. The two new at-
tractions will be ProSlide Mammoth
slides, which accommodate up to
ve guests in family-sized rafts. One
slide is a high-speed triple-dip drop
while the other has twists and turns
through raging rapids.
The 2011 improvements and up-
grades will also include VIP com-
forts in Splash Island. Guests will
be able to relax in exclusive private
cabanas for an additional fee.
Wild Adventures ofcials will
announce the names and additional
details on the slides and expansion
plans at a later date.
