With the 2023 introduction of “Kauai, the Island of Waves”, the Follonica park once again demonstrates consistency and vision in its thematic and product choices.
This results in an overall increase in quality — both in terms of entertainment and in services such as dining and guest care — and a renewed appreciation and enthusiasm from visitors, who find themselves fully immersed in a small Hawaiian island.
The Follonica water park presents Naheka, the “snake” slide, 13 meters high and 128 meters long.
The ride alternates between dark sections and light effects, and ends with an exit through the massive mouth of a snake-head statue inspired by the Hawaiian Islands — 5.5 meters high and 5 meters wide.
The spectacular placement inside a large volcano, the first-ever use of videomapping in a water attraction, and a high-level surrounding scenography make “Loko” one of the most exciting new additions to the Italian and international water park scene.
The extraordinary growth of the Cecina water park continues with the addition of this truly spectacular area, which features three major attractions.
Lua Pele, with its enchanting little lagoon and two thrilling, high-impact slides, marks another important step toward the full theming of what is now unquestionably one of Italy’s most significant water parks.
From an outdated and uninspiring lagoon to one of the park’s flagship areas, thanks to a major scenic restyling that has completely transformed its identity.
