Polin introduces 'King Cobra' Waterslide

One of the highlights of last week’s Asian Attractions Expo was Polin Waterparks and Pool Systems’ introduction of its new King Cobra waterslide.

The King Cobra offers one of the most intense riding experiences in water attractions offering huge visual impact and spectator appeal. With its unique design configuration, fibreglass theming, colouring and its unique riding path, it is set to be a major attraction in waterparks and aquatic facilities around the world.

As Eyup Ispiroglu, Project Manager, Polin Waterparks and Pool Systems explains “the core feature of the patent pending King Cobra is its unique configuration that enables riders in two double tubes to race through a circular path with twists and turns.”

The riding experience of King Cobra starts with two specially designed double tubes on two slides side by side and King Cobra enables circular racing throughout the journey with turns, twists and surprises while passing through enclosed and open parts of the ride.

Before reaching the heart pounding part, riders are in the enclosed part of the ride, fully dark and suddenly and very unexpectedly, they come to a halt. While thinking that this is the end, they drop down with an angle of 50 degrees. They plunge 8 metres, accelerating to speed of 51 km/h.

Sohret Pakis, Polin’s Marketing Manager adds “this will surely be the thrill of the riders’ lives. Two double tubes with two riders on each are now in the same slide, dropping down at the same time. The excitement of an unexpected drop and the fear of crashing is just breathtaking. Expertly designed configuration and uniquely planned colour formulation create an illusion that makes the riders feel that they will be crashing each other in a second since the two double tubes with four riders are now in the same sliding area. This is unique in the industry – two double tubes leaving two slides side by side end into the same sliding surface.”

Ugur Degirmenci, Project Engineer of Polin adds: “It does not end. The two double tubes are now heading into the mouth of Cobra. Unique fog, high-pitched hiss, water spraying, visual effects make it more exciting than ever while the spectators below think you are just ‘swallowed’ in the mouth of the Cobra. Then powerful G-forces take over your tube and riders come back down and then oscillate up and down again as the tubes stop on down the waterslide. You come to the end of this unique riding experience and we are sure the first thing you will do as you exit King Cobra is to get in line for another turn.”
