Lake Raystown Resort, Lodge & Conference Center offers endless activities and adventures for everyone. There are thrills and excitement for everyone at WildRiver Waterpark. The park features two, 380 foot twisting slides, the White Water Innertube Ride, the Atomic Blaster, heated swimming pool and the Children's Splash and Play Pool. The twisting slides, water mushroom and kiddie slide were recently transformed into living color by Water Slide Solutions, a certified applicator of SlideRenu®. The Resort is owned by the Patt Organization who picked out the bright vibrant colors for the slides. Prior to the make over, the slides were a dull faded gray.

World famous Hershey Park boasts a relatively new water park, less than 5 years old. One of its main kiddie ride is a two lane racer slide which in just 3 years was severely weathered. Park maintenance personnel tried everything to bring back the like new color. Finally, they called SlideRenu® to re-coat the slide and the results were amazing. The 2 lane kiddie slide is now brilliantly bright, shiny and the finish is expected to last 5-7 years.

One of Six Flags most visited water parks is located in the Baltimore – Washington DC corridor. It features one of the largest wave pools in the country. SlideRenu® was selected to refinish the interior surfaces of their 2 largest tube slides which are nearly 400’ long. Although the slides are 20 years old, Color Shield Brilliant White applied to revived these slides and make them look new again. Management is contemplating additional refinishing projects over the next few years and has specified SlideRenu water slide restoration coatings for all their coating needs.

The Waterbom, Bali water slides slice through 3.8 hectares of landscaped tropical parks and is home to 16 waterslides. The general manager of this first class water park in Indonesia contacted SlideRenu® to request a comprehensive master restoration plan only one year after a local contractor on the island painted several of their slides with an epoxy paint. Due to the lack of effective UV blockers in epoxy paints, the slides showed severe signs of color fading, chipping and oxidation. SlideRenu® was selected because it is the only coating in the aquatics industry that has been specifically formulated for color faded water slides. With labor rates significantly lower in Indonesia, Waterbom decided to purchase the coatings from SlideRenu® and have them oversee the application. “The results were incredible. Dan Tome, SlideRenu® Operations Manager, worked closely with our maintenance staff showing them how to prep the surface and spray the coatings. The slides look brand new now! We are planning to have SlideRenu® come back to work with us in refinishing seven more slides in 2010.” said Sayan Gulino – Operations Manager, Waterbom, Bali.

On the East Side of the Garden Isle, between the historical towns of Kapa'a and Wailua, is a beachfront haven unlike any other. It's a place where Hawaiian kings and high chiefs sought solitude, famous filmmakers captured their most prized backdrops, and Hemmingway found inspiration. The Waipouli Beach Resort wanted to re-inspire its guests by having SlideRenu® refinish its two 50 foot water slides that have become severely oxidized and dull ... after only 4 years! The gel-coated water slides did not have a chance on the island of Hawaii's where the sun shines 90% of the year. Resort management selected SlideRenu® Color Shield, Smokey Topaz, an earth tone tan color that complemented the lava rocks surrounding both slides.

The newly renovated, 200 room, full-service conference hotel is ranked as one of the Top 10 Travelodges in North America. It is also home to the largest water slide in Regina. The water slide is 250' and wraps around a kiddie play center that features a tunnel, cave and dry exit slide. The hotel wanted to transform the dull blue 20 year old slide into something more contemporary. They selected Forsythia Yellow, a bright and shinny color that lights up the entire Aquaworld complex both day and night. SlideRenu® resurfaced the exterior skin and run out section and are scheduled to resurface the interior flume in the near future.

The lush grounds and infinite amenities of the Four-Diamond hotel in Kauai present myriad options for each guest to create their own personalized retreat; Kayak in the lagoons, delight in an authentic Luau or take an exhilarating trip down the 170' water slide that traverses around a mountain of volcanic rocks and lush vegetation. Having operated for over 25 years, the water slide has been one of the main attractions at the hotel since it opened. David Abalos, Water Features Manager, wanted to preserve the slide's historical place at the hotel and, at the same time, protect and extend its useful life. SlideRenu® was contacted to resurface the interior and exterior of slide. The hotel selected a soft Smokey Topaz Tan color for the interior and a Charcoal color that matched the volcanic rocks for the exterior skin.

Nestled amid the sunny slopes, cliffs and natural beauty of West Oahu, Hawaiian Waters is Hawaii’s only water park. The park opened in 1999 and covers 29 acres in West Oahu.

The General Manager, Takuya Ohki said at the completion of the project, “SlideRenu™ has transformed our water slides into Living Color”.

KINGS ISLAND - Cincinnati, Ohio – May 2009

There are two fully enclosed translucent fiberglass tube body slides that wrap around each other in a pretzel-like manner in the water park at Kings Island. Park management wanted to bring back the luster and shine of these unique slides without enclosing the tubes. Closed, dark, long and twisting water slide flumes have been known to have an adverse physical effect on riders, namely dizziness. SlideRenu recommended its Clear Shield coating which would allow the tubes to remain translucent, as they were designed to be, while returning the high-gloss finish to the exterior fiberglass skin. The water park also has 5 run outs at the end of 2 pretzel-like slides which were refinished with Color Shield. The Maintenance Manager selected Really Teal which matched the original translucent color perfectly.

SlideRenu® was contacted by the Maintenance Manager this spring to find a more permanent solution to an annual maintenance ritual; re-painting the two large 10’ diameter red water mushrooms.
