Mr. Mahony has been involved with some of Asia’s - and the world’s - leading waterparks, including Chimelong Water Park and the Beijing Watercube Waterpark, both in China. “This is a very exciting market which includes both the Bangkok market and Chonburi tourism market. It has been very important during our initial stages to closely study these markets to have an understanding of exactly how we need to develop and design the waterpark,” Mr. Mahony explains. “We have worked very closely with WhiteWater West. We have looked closely at waterparks within Asia that deal with similar tourist markets, as well as waterparks that deal with large local urban markets. We have selected not only the most popular thrill rides but also have dedicated a large portion of the waterpark to family and children attractions, including a giant themed AquaPlay structure and a mini Abyss, for children to enjoy. The waterpark will be themed along the storyline of Ramayana and will feature a native landscape. The waterpark will also feature shaded relaxation areas, special VIP Sala’s that can be rented for the day, plus a large range of local and international cuisine.” Ramayana Water Park plans to become South East Asia’s leading waterpark and will be located on Na Jomtien, Sattahip, Chonburi.
