BRIEF

Ed Hart leading

eort to get

Kentucky Kingdom

reopened for 2011

Some time this month

Ed Hart, who has put his

hat in the ring to operate

Kentucky Kingdom, Louis-

ville, will present his devel-

opment plans to state and

county ofcials.

And, Kentucky State

Fair ofcials are looking

forward to having the park

back. The park property is

located on the fair grounds

and has traditionally been

part of the fair midway. Ed-

ward Browne, director of

public relations and mar-

keting, Kentucky State Fair,

said they look forward to

having the park open again

next year.

North American Mid-

way Entertainment, which

provided the midway for

the fair this year, brought

in extra rides for the Aug.

19-29 run. Browne said the

midway received very posi-

tive responses.

The Kentucky State Fair

Board gave Harold Work-

man, CEO and president of

the fair, the authority to be-

gin negotiations with Hart,

who has formed KK Rede-

velopment Co. with other

investors to reopen the

shuttered former Six Flags

park.

Hart and a group of

investors purchased Ken-

tucky Kingdom in 1990.

The group turned the park

around and sold it a decade

Exhibitors bringing new innovations to WWA

World Waterpark Associa-

tion (WWA) members will cel-

ebrate the association’s 30th

anniversary convention this

year in San Antonio, Texas,

Oct. 6-10.

The Symposium and Trade

Show is being held at the Hyatt

Regency River Walk and the

Henry B. Gonzalez Conven-

tion Center. The Symposium

will run the entire length of

the event and the trade show

is set for Oct. 8 & 9.

WWA President Rick Root

hoped the event would be a

good one. He had heard from

association members that busi-

ness was holding its own for

2010. Many waterparks found

2009 to be quite challenging

with unusually cold and rainy

weather.

But, the 2010 season seems

to have been hot and humid, a

good recipe for waterpark suc-

cess.

Social events this year in-

clude the WWA Golf Tourna-

ment, the Welcome Reception,

the 30th annual party at Sea-

World San Antonio, and a pic-

nic and tour at Schlitterbahn

Waterpark Resort.

There will be approxi-

mately 50 educational sessions

and workshops. The separate

tracks will focus on market-

ing, risk management, main-

tenance, food and beverage,

aquatics and development.

More than 200 exhibitors

are expected to be on hand

debuting new products, and

bringing along the tried and

true.

For the WWA convention,

WhiteWater West Industries,

Richmond, B.C., will divide

up into four different sections

– AquaPlay interactive play

structures; wave generating

equipment, Prime Play ber-

glass, and the water-based

rides.

Julie Zakus, WhiteWater

West spokesperson, said the

biggest thing on the water side

is the new MegaTube. Man-

agement at WhiteWater West

Industries, announced earlier

this year the installation of this

new product into the new Hap-

py Magic Water Cube, Beijing

Water Cube Waterpark, with

design work by Forrec Ltd.,

Toronto, and opened Aug. 8.

It is located in the Water Cube

facility originally built for the

2008 Summer Olympics.

The core feature of this

new series is a 20-foot (6.096

meters) diameter fully en-

closed cylinder set at a trans-

verse angle to the slide path.

Riders enter the cylinder

by way of a steep downward

ramp, and then oscillate up and

down the inner walls, climb-

ing up to 10 feet (3 meters) as

the raft works its way through

the cylinder and on down the

waterslide. Cylinder length

can vary with each slide path,

which can easily incorporate

multiple cylinders and can

also be combined with other

attractions from WhiteWater

West, such as the SuperBowl

or the Family Boomerango.

In addition, the Mega-

Tube is large enough that an-

other ume can actually pass

through it.

“We announced this new

ride when we announced our

installment of it in the new Bei-

jing Water Cube Water Park,”

said Julie Zakus, WhiteWater

West spokesperson. “You can

put six people in each raft. We

have sold several so far.”

Empex Water Toys, Ux-

bridge, Ont., will roll out their

new Aqua Circus, a new large

play structure that includes a

lot of gizmos, said spokesper-

son Wyeth Tracy.

“We have been very busy

and our business is up,” Tracy

said, in late August.
