Q & A
1- How should slide group selections be made in Aquaparks?
It is important to note that for a successful waterpark, selections of slide groups are made in proportion to the size of the waterpark lands.
2 or 5 separate slides can be selected in small water parks (2,000 to 4,000 m²). Animations such as octopus, etc. can also be selected for the kids' pool
For medium-sized water parks (5,000 to 12,000 m²), 4 or 7 different bodies, boats and some extreme slides can be selected. An appropriately sized kids' entertainment tower (aquatowers) can be selected in the children's pool.
Large-scale aquaparks (15,000 to 50,000 m²) can use 8 or 7 separate slides, large aquatours in kids' pools and 7 or 10 other animations, and groups of 3 slides for kids.
2- What should be considered when choosing the aquapark land size?
A selection of lands with authorizations where this investment can be made is made as a priority in the land selection, as indicated in the blogs. Keeping in mind that each 1000 m² of pasture can accommodate 100 people, care can be taken not to choose an area that is either too large or too small in relation to the total population of the province.
3-What are the types and groups of slides used in aquaparks?
We have already seen that the adult slides can be grouped into three separate groups. These were body slides, boat slides and extreme slides. Children's animation and slides can also be added as a 4th group. Studies in which slides are selected from each group in a successful water park will gain appreciation and create incentives.
4-Which types of pools can be found in aquaparks?
These are as follows;
Swimming Pools
Kids's Pools
Fall pools
Wave pools
Lazy rivers
Wild rivers
Jacuzzi pools
Thermal pools and etc.
5-What are the criteria that affect the preferences of indoor or outdoor aquaparks?
Depending on an open water park, we know that you can only work between 12 and 18 weeks per year. However, it is possible to increase this working period to 52 weeks with a closed aquapark.
A much higher cost is also certain to be incurred in indoor water parks, as there will be additional costs for closing and air conditioning, as well as installation costs for outdoor water parks. This is why the choice of cities with a large population and a strong socio-economic structure is very important in terms of return on investment periods.
6- What are the environmental impact assessments of aquaparks?
- Social and economic evaluations;
In addition to having a very positive effect on the socialization of the population and meeting the entertainment needs of the region where the investment is made, it is known that it enriches the city's commercial life with intense visitors from outside and increases the value of the city's brand.
- Environmental impact assessment;
Like any investment, water parks will need solutions related to their waste. All necessary precautions must be taken to ensure that water from chemical ponds and other wastes do not mix with rivers, lakes or agricultural areas. This problem can be solved by connecting to a sewer line near the aquapark. In case of lack of a sewer line, it is mandatory to store the waste outside the water park, pick it up from here with screwdrivers every day or some days of the week and bring it to a proper collection area.
