Whale’s Tale Water Park Announces the opening of their highly anticipated Shipwreck Island – The biggest and best expansion in history.
Lincoln, NH – The Whale’s Tale announces the eagerly anticipated opening of its biggest and best new water attraction in the company’s 26 year history – Shipwreck Island. Shipwreck Island is a multi-tier water play complex featuring 7 new waterslides, tons of sprays, water shooters, and interactive water play features. Every 5 minutes, 350 gallons of water drops from the giant Pirate Ship at the top of the structure onto the crowd below. Even those who choose not to get wet will enjoy the beautiful tropical theming that sets the stage for this island adventure. By itself, Shipwreck Island could be its own waterpark, with water fun for kids aged 2 to 92.
Some of the guests who played on the new attraction agreed that this is our best attraction. “I love it” says the Bouressa Family. “Shipwreck Island was fantastic and very fun – Can’t wait to go back next year” says Zack Hamilton. “GREAT JOB on Shipwreck Island… we had a fantastic day” says Robin Webster.
This new attraction was designed and built by ProSlide Technology out of Ottawa – Canada and is the first of its kind in the world. In fact, this particular ride will serve as the North American Showcase and will set the standard for this type of attraction. Although this is the first installation worldwide for this type of ride, others are currently in construction in Columbia South America and at the Water Cube in Beijing, China.
As a business, “Shipwreck Island is a very strategic expansion” says Jeb Boyd, General Manager at Whale’s Tale, “as it allows hundreds of people to play all at once. We needed a new attraction that didn’t necessarily create another line” says Boyd. Here is what another guest had to say – “Shipwreck has evened out the lines. It didn’t even feel as busy as usual, and I haven’t seen lines that short on such a busy summer day in years”
The Whale’s Tale Water park is located at 481 Daniel Webster Highway, Lincoln, NH. The water park features 19 waterslides, a wave pool, lazy river, heated pool and hot tubs, children’s activity pool, restaurants and a surf shop. It opened, in 1984 and traditionally is host to roughly 70 thousand guests each summer.
