At this year’s IAAPA Expo Europe, WhiteWater is to announce several new projects, including details of the upcoming Oceana indoor waterpark at Liseberg amusement park in Gothenburg, Sweden.
The waterpark manufacturer, located at booth A-1313, will reveal the new projects during a press conference at 2:05 pm on Tuesday, September 26.
This year’s expo marks a successful year for WhiteWater, with the company announcing the opening of more than 60 projects over the past 12 months.
Dubbed the year of the indoor water park, 2023 has seen WhiteWater open several such facilities including the Island Waterpark in New Jersey, US, and the Studio City Water Park, part of the Studio City entertainment complex, in Macau, China.

Billed as the world’s largest beachfront waterpark, Island Waterpark forms part of the Showboat Hotel in Atlantic City and features 11 water slides, two AquaForm aquatic play structures and a FlowRider Double Attraction.
The Studio City Water Park, meanwhile, is housed inside an Art Deco-inspired building and features several water rides, rendered in custom metallic finishes and fibreglass veils to match the park’s space travel theme.
The company is also involved in several upcoming projects including the expansion of Waterbom Bali in Kuta, Indonesia, which will see the installation of several WhiteWater attractions, including a tower with four water rides and AquaFortress, the company’s largest ever AquaForm aquatic play structure.

Finally, the company has announced the addition of two new team members; Jamie Charlesworth and Diego Reckmann, to its regional EMEA offices.
