Monolithic Dome Waterpark — One of its most fun features is a gigantic tube slide that starts atop the dome and finishes on its inside.
Monolithic Indoor Waterparks
Year-round Fun!
The image of children running around in bathing suits, in the winter, in Minnesota, Maine or Canada, seems an unlikely sight. Equally unlikely may be the sight of sweaty adults and children standing in a long line, baking in the hot Arizona sun, waiting for a short water ride. But waterpark fun can be enjoyed year round if designed inside a Monolithic Dome.
What makes Monolithic Domes ideal for waterparks?
Clear Span – A Monolithic Dome’s interior is not interrupted by columns or support beams. It’s a clear span that easily accommodates a variety of indoor water slides, pools and rides. Because of the dome’s strength, those rides and slides can be suspended from the dome shell, and, as they age or become outdated, they can easily be modified or replaced.
Protection from the Elements – A Monolithic Dome automatically provides protection from inclement weather and lightning. That’s a major advantage of an indoor recreational facility. Guests need not worry about rain-outs, refunds or making new plans. In fact, with the dome’s inherent wind-resistance, guests can continue having fun even in turbulent weather. During such conditions, a Monolithic Dome is the safest place to be.
Protection from the Sun – When the heat is too intense to enjoy the outdoors, the dome provides needed protection from sun exposure and heat-related illnesses.
Thermal Mass – Due to the thermal mass and energy efficiency of the Monolithic Dome, cooling and heating costs are substantially lower. That translates into lower operating costs and increased profits.
Extended Season – Owners of a Monolithic Dome waterpark can enjoy year-round income from the extended season offered to visitors and guests.
Unlimited Design Options – Monolithic Domes can be built to any size and can be simple or elaborate – depending on need and desire. Park owners can start with a single dome and expand later with multiple domes. The dome’s interior can be painted and decorated to imitate any environment – a blue sky with fluffy clouds, a tropical rainforest, a sparkling beach, a calm sea or whatever the imagination creates. There are no limits.
Construction Materials – What can be better than building a waterpark using the same concrete that’s most ideal for building swimming pools? Unlike steel and wood, concrete can tolerate humidity.
