Patron Nelson Mandela has endorsed the whole campaign, which launches on April 2nd at Crealy (Devon).

Teenage Water Activity

Recognising the desire to attract and entertain older children in an interactive water park setting, SSP will be introducing new products and layouts to meet that need. Roosevelt Tower and Flick Park are just two new concept designs that are designed to appeal to older children.

Roosevelt Tower Given the opportunity to ‘soak’ their peers from up high with the latest gravity foaming jets will always be a winner, bringing both height and competition into a water park. Roosevelt Tower can be supplied with a variety of bespoke features including Rain Curtains and Dump Jets.

Flick Park This is a deck-level target game, where energy and skill are combined in a race to score against free-standing targets, firing from Gravity Shooters. The trick is to beat your opponent’s score, otherwise you run the risk of being ‘dumped’ on by an imposing Step’N’Woosh’ that sits waiting for the gamer to slip up, resulting in a deluge of cold water for the loser! Two or Four game options available.

Spill Tower Spill Tower can be used to complement an existing or new water park, or can be fitted as a unique ‘stand-alone’ item for simple yet exciting water play opportunities. Several bespoke features can be utilised from a Water Pipe, or Bubbling Head, through to a Leaky Valve and Curtain Rod, all of which have different types of water spillage ready to entrance and stimulate children of all ages.

Combi-Units These present an endless variation of new and exciting bespoke play scenarios. Standard equipment from our extensive catalogue range can be ‘merged’ to create a hybrid play feature. Why not select two or three items from the range and ask us to produce a unique ‘Combi’ for your park? (Available on above ground features only)
