ECZenith Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Welcome, Lincow Don't apolgize for your English, it's perfect. The theming on this park looks incredible! Looks like they will also have a master blaster and a flow rider, as well as a water slide that goes "underwater" (like the Atlantis resort) It's weird that a waterpark will have two steel coasters-but no complaints here! Keep us posted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lincow Posted May 1, 2006 Author Share Posted May 1, 2006 i haven´t seen that water slide;i thought it´s going to be the first of its tipe:shockr: Where can i find some picture of the Atlantis resort slide? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCfanatic Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Looks nice! That big looping coaster looks great! Looks a bit B&M-ish, no? Its unfortunate that there's so little information on the coaster part of the park... Well i hope updates come soon, I can't wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lincow Posted June 2, 2006 Author Share Posted June 2, 2006 The park its going to be the biggest waterpark of europe and will have the 2nd tallest waterslide of the world (28 meters) "El parque acuático más grande de Europa abre sus puertas en diciembre El Siam Park es un complejo de ocio de temática oriental que abarca 185.000 metros cuadrados La clase empresarial parece estar convencida de que el Sur no perderá el rumbo y seguirá creciendo, al margen de las crisis que algunos vaticinan y otros que ya ha pasado. Al menos así demuestran las nuevas inversiones en infraestructuras de ocio que ya son realidad. Como el reciente Magma Arte & Congresos y otras que se cuecen entre el bonito malpaís de Costa Adeje, como es el caso de Siam Park, que será el parque acuático más grande de Europa después de que el 17 de diciembre, si se cumplen todas las previsiones, abra sus puertas. Se trata de un complejo que se sumerge en la temática oriental, principalmente la de Tailandia con una decoración que recuerda a otros países vecinos. Estos motivos darán la sensación de exotismo, alegría, color y exclusividad. Se está construyendo sobre unos 185.000 metros cuadrados e incluye "nuevas sensaciones que no han sido experimentadas", explicó a este periódico el director de este parque, Christoph Kiessling. La zona esta cubierta de cardones y tabaibas que formarán también parte de la vegetación propia, además de numerosas palmeras y otras especies. En definitiva es un recinto donde el visitante se sentirá activo en todo momento por sus atracciones acuáticas y a su vez, disfrutará de espectáculos, fauna y flora, a medida que se adentra en el mismo. En este sentido, cuando se acceda al Siam Park lo primero que se encontrará será una gran piscina que alberga leones marinos, seguido de una zona comercial y a continuación uno de los ríos lentos artificiales más grandes del mundo con casi un kilómetro de largo. Posteriormente, llega una zona de jungla que intenta recrear la naturaleza viva incluso con aves volando. Asimismo, el afortunado atravesará un túnel de cristal donde podrá ver cocodrilos y diferentes tipos de peces. Aunque quizás las sensaciones más fuertes las encontrará en los toboganes o tubos acuáticos del ’kamikaze’ con 28 metros de altura (el segundo más alto del mundo); la velocidad sobre flotadores del ’tornado’ el ’vulcano’; o tubos más tradicionales y familiares repartidos por todo el recinto. Hacer surf en piscina Aunque a pocos metros del Siam Park, Costa Adeje cuenta con playas de surfistas, este parque tiene su propia piscina artificial de olas que pueden alcanzar los tres metros de altura. Única en Europa, la instalación tiene 155 metros de largo por 30 de ancho, acaba en una gran playa de arena blanca y está autorizada por la Federación Internacional de Surf que permitirá en un futuro llevar a cabo campeonatos. Justo al lado, se tiene previsto también construir una cancha de volley-playa, otro deporte con bastante auge en la comarca. Tampoco hay que olvidar que contará con restaurantes, un anfiteatro para actuaciones musicales, conferencias y demás ’shows’, extensas zonas ajardinadas, paseos para la tranquilidad y una gran zona infantil de 3.500 metros cuadrados. Finalmente, Kiessling comenta que el Siam Park generará algo más de 200 puestos de trabajo directos y que será un incentivo a tener presente para el futuro de la industria turística."

dsngiem Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 What I saw in the intro video to the Siam Park was the silhouette of the Angkor Wat (which is located in Cambodia) but I guess the Thai and Cambodians have similar architecture. This should be exciting to follow (and maybe there's a "learn abroad" type of program in spain so i could check that out, i'm learning spanish) I was too lazy to find out what building would be the center of the park.
