At the end of 2021, the President of the Dominican Republic, Luis Abinader, began construction work on El Dorado Park in Punta Cana. According to him, as reported by Tourinews at the time, when it opens in 2023, El Dorado Park will be the “largest and most advanced water and theme park in the entire Caribbean region“. Amusement Logic is currently involved in the construction of this new leisure and tourism attraction in Punta Cana, with two unique lazy rivers.
El Dorado Park, with a surface area of about 115,000 m2, consists of a water park area called The Water Temple, an amphitheatre with a capacity of 4,000 people, called El Dorado Arena, and several restaurants, bars and shopping areas. All the facilities are integrated with theming inspired by the legend of the city of gold that conquistadors and explorers searched for in the South American rainforest since the late 15th century. In this complex, the two lazy rivers commissioned to Amusement Logic are two of the most outstanding installations.
We were saying that these are two unique lazy rivers: the first, aimed at a spectrum of audiences ranging from youngsters to adults, is the longest lazy river in the Caribbean; the other, with a bespoke design unparalleled anywhere else in the world, is a lazy river specifically and exclusively for children. The former, just over 500m long, 90cm deep and 6m wide, requires 12 water impulsion devices from our Tigris 15 system to run. The children’s lazy river, on the other hand, is 40cm deep and 4m wide on average, and required a lot of research. As this was the first time it had been developed, it was necessary to redesign and adapt our Tigris 11 system. Now, this children’s lazy river is just over 92 m long and has two Tigris 11 impulsion devices adapted to its operation.
Amusement Logic is therefore collaborating in a project that, in the words of President Abinader, is part of the Dominican tourism model, “a world reference that generates jobs, investment, leadership and innovation”.
