Kalahari
Aquatic Resort, located in a cold, northern climate, is one of the
largest water parks in North America. Open year round, the African
Safari themed park contains both indoor and outdoor water attractions,
including a 28,000 square foot area covered by a Texlon ETFE cushion
roof.
The client wanted to create the warmth of the African
jungle in the midst of the wintery climate of Ohio. The Texlon ETFE
system allowed the outdoor sunlight in, making a tropical oasis for the
sunbathers below. The lightweight structure of the System and ability to
span long distances were ideal for the large area over the wave pool.
In
addition, Texlon is a stable product that can withstand long exposure
to the humid environments of indoor aquatic centers, making it ideal for
use in the Kalahari Aquatic Resort.
