Polin Waterparks introduces new Stingray waterslide with sound and light show

Polin's state-of-the-art technology ‘UTexture’ has produced the ‘Stingray’ - inspired by one of the most mesmerising designs of nature, and offering its users a sensational experience with a waterslide that is unique in terms of its design configuration, engineering and ride path in which  guests will explore the dark and mysterious ocean with a sound and light show.

This four-lane, eight-passenger, high-capacity racing tube slide has much to offer in a compact design.

The guests’ complete experience begins in the start tower with a custom, one-of-a-kind roof structure that not only provides shade but also a cooling mist overhead while guests get ready to enter one of the four flume entrances.

The enclosed flumes have multiple interweaving ride paths that exit into two gigantic bowls before guests race to the end. The two bowls contain two unique paths in each – one that is larger in diameter, longer, faster and more exhilarating and one that is smaller in diameter, shorter, and especially entertaining. The Stingray keeps guests returning for a new experience each time based on their choice of lane and combination of rider weights.

The Stingray offers multiple distinctive ride paths but its vivid, fiberglass theming and custom colouring is inspiring and captivating. Displaying the capabilities of Polin's state-of-the-art technology 'UTexture', its artwork is long-lasting, UV protected, integral and picture-perfect.

The Stingray attraction also incorporates a sound show where guests will hear the sound of the Stingray’s wings, flying through water, as they spin inside the huge inner bowl. In the outer bowl, the guests will explore the dark and mysterious ocean with a sound and light show and then complete their experience as they are quickly dispersed around the wings. This contrast in special effects further sets the experience of the two paths apart.
