A leader in the design, architecture, construction and development of leisure, tourism and entertainment projects, this is the role that Amusement Logic plays in the world… and this is not an opinion. This is demonstrated by the awards that the company has won throughout its almost 30 years of existence. The latest – the subject of this news item – was won by one of the Middle East’s water parks at the prestigious MENALAC (Middle East and North Africa Leisure and Attractions Council) awards. At the gala held last May for the first time in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, the award for ‘Best Design for a Leisure & Entertainment Facility – Amusement Parks’ went to Desert Falls Water and Adventure Park. Precisely, and that is the point, Amusement Logic is the firm behind its design.
Desert Falls Water and Adventure Park is part of the Hilton Salwa Beach Resort & Villas, a large resort located on the southwest coast of Qatar. This water park – and its design – is characterised by extensive and intensive theming, with virtually all of its water attractions immersed in rocks, grottoes and artificial rock galleries.
As we read in the trade press, the MENALAC award celebrates the “visionary approach” to the waterpark design of Desert Falls Water and Adventure Park, a design that “stands as a benchmark for creativity, engineering excellence, and memorable experiences”. In other words, the award is given to Desert Falls Water and Adventure Park for the “immersive theming, and exceptional guest journey– from adrenaline-pumping rides to family-friendly zones”.
In addition to the success of the Desert Falls Water and Adventure Park for its unique design, MENALAC also honoured Adam Du Plooy, general manager of the Hilton Salwa Beach Resort & Villas that contains it, as ‘Best Establishment Manager’. In an exclusive interview with Amusement Logic – linked below – Du Plooy said that in his job as a leader, “consistency is key: showing up for your team, leading by example and being willing to roll up your sleeves to assist whenever needed”.
Du Plooy also told us that, after joining the Hilton Salwa Beach Resort & Villas, the most important thing for him was “the collective commitment to a singular vision: to establish ourselves as the number one family leisure destination in the region”. The recipe for this, in his words, is “a strategic balance between operational excellence and delivering exceptional guest experiences”, as well as “attention to detail, innovation and genuine care”. We send our sincere congratulations to this excellent professional, to Desert Falls Water and Adventure Park and to the entire team that made it possible yesterday and makes it possible today.
