Attraction Partner for Mattel Wonder Indoor Waterparks Announced

(eap) American Resort Management and the Vancouver, Canada-based manufacturer WhiteWater have entered an exclusive partnership for the development of the five recently announced Mattel Wonder Indoor Waterparks™. In collaboration with the aquatic design specialist Martin Aquatic, well-known Mattel brands such as “Barbie” and “Hot Wheels” will be integrated into the indoor waterparks.

WhiteWater is to provide a broad portfolio of attractions for different target groups – ranging from family-oriented offerings to adrenaline-intensive experiences. The planned attractions include, among others, competition slides, wave pools, aquatic play structures as well as two brand-new rides, including one exclusive to Mattel Wonder Indoor Waterparks.

“We are excited to collaborate with WhiteWater on the development of these parks, where guests will experience unique attractions together with their favorite brands,” explains Rick Coleman, CEO of American Resort Management. This collaboration “means that fans of the Mattel brand can expect the same high-quality experience from location to location.”

“With a history of successful projects with both Martin Aquatic and American Resort Management, we’re thrilled to be collaborating with them again, together with new partners, to create location-based entertainment that is both familiar and novel,” emphasizes Onno Meeter, WhiteWater’s President, Water Parks. “It is indeed very special to be working with a client to design a never-before-seen slide with new ride experiences exclusive to their parks.”

“Having worked with WhiteWater on numerous projects that have set records for waterpark innovation, our team looks forward to the design process with a partner that understands how to deliver the best guest experience,” adds Josh Martin, President & Creative Director for Martin Aquatic.

The Mattel Wonder Indoor Waterparks are at an early stage of development – official opening dates have not yet been announced. ■
