Rockhampton Council announces transformation of wet play area at Southside Memorial Pools With the weather warming up, Rockhampton Regional Council has unveiled a transformation of the wet play area at its Southside Memorial Pool. Speaking about the new facility, Rockhampton Parks Sport and Public Spaces Councillor, Cherie Rutherford commented “the new soft fall surface not only looks fantastic but it is now much safer for the kiddies to play on. “We have also given the play equipment a cut and polish to really bring it back to life.” Installing the soft fall surface saw the removal of the existing worn out surface and the installation of Life Floor in three colours with the work undertaken by Gold Coast-based Synsurf. Noting that the improvements were much needed and will extend the life of the facility, Rockhampton Communities and Heritage Councillor Drew Wickerson, added “the existing soft fall product had come to the end of its life and the new product was chosen after some extensive research. “We wanted to make sure that the new soft fall material was a far better product - improving safety and longevity of the facility. “The product we have installed will not only last much longer but it has superior anti slip properties - making it much safer as well.” Life Floor is currently installing a new 720 metre² splash pad at Wet ‘n’ Wild Gold Coast, the most complicated design ever undertaken by Life Floor.

Polin introduces world’s first fully transparent composite looping Rocket Waterslide Polin Waterparks has introduced its latest attraction - the world’s first fully transparent composite Looping Rocket Waterslide pushing waterslide technology to the next level and anticipated to have a dynamic impact on the industry. On its own, Polin’s Looping Rocket is already a highadrenaline ride that gets guests’ hearts pumping due to its ultrahigh, heart-stopping drop. But with its new availability as a fully transparent slide, the Looping Rocket increases guests’ adrenaline even more. Polin Waterparks installed the first version of this new waterslide at Candyland Waterpark at the Vogue Hotel in Bodrum, Turkey, in July 2020, and continues to receive positive guest feedback. Guests already associate waterslides with some of the most fun places to cool off during hot daytime hours. Now, guests have a reason to stick around for more fun after the sun goes down. With its pulsing, phosphorescent glow, the Looping Rocket becomes an exciting nighttime attraction for both riders and those watching - even those driving by who can see it shimmering as they pass by. For parks wanting to enhance the guest experience further, they can add a variety of enhancements to the slide, transforming their venues on an even greater scale and creating a true night to remember for their clientele.
