The Challenge
H2OBX wanted a water park designed with classic coastal architecture at the forefront to reflect the feel of the Outer Banks and offer guests resort-style comfort along with traditional family fun. The goal was to target vacationers, families and water park enthusiasts alike with innovative rides and attractions packaged in a themed environment designed for the optimal water park experience.
The Solution
Drawing on decades of experience, ADG’s team designed H2OBX to include exceptional first-to-market and hybrid attractions with attention to detail and distinctive features that guests of all ages and interests would enjoy. The attractions at H2OBX offer cutting-edge innovation including several of ADG’s own innovative water ride attractions.
Twin Tides Wave Pool delivers an ocean-simulated current, featuring “dual beachfront” entrance points on opposite ends. Another ADG Water Ride is Deep Six Adventure Lagoon, a revolutionary adventure attraction, featuring climb, crawl and balance soft mat obstacles and swim zones. Additional attractions include multiple slide complexes, river rides and Calico Jack’s Cove, an immersive, multi-level, pirate-themed, play structure, offering waterslides and interactive water effects. Several fusion waterslides, boast special effects including aqua-lucent lighting to increase the thrill factor.
The Result
Built by ADG in under 6 months, H2OBX debuted in June 2017, and has received rave reviews for its innovative mix of resort-style layout and thrilling attractions. The park will be open through Labor Day and is expecting to draw guests from all over the east coast.
