East Richmond’s WhiteWater West had made a big splash in China. The designer and builder of water slides is the sole supplier of attractions in that country’s largest waterpark — Zhengzhou Yinji Kaifeng Waterpark in Henan.
The $29 million contract for the park which opened July 1, provides entertainment on close to 50 watersides, three custom AquaPlay structures, three wave pools, two wave rivers and a double-sized FlowRider that allows surfing on a perfect stream of water.
The park can accommodate as many as 47,000 visitors — 15,000 indoors and 32,000 outdoors — at peak capacity each day.
