Careful analysis combined with years of experience working with park operators and their end-user customers has led to the development of five distinct aquapark series that range in size from small entry-level layouts to massive, cutting-edge mega parks. Each Aquaglide Aquapark uses the following design criteria to ensure each layout surpasses customer expectations and provides the best experience for end users.

Established Onboarding Zones - designed to handle the capacity of each park with multiple paths for participants to order to eliminate congestion and bottlenecks.

High and Low Depth Zones - with the shore side of each layout incorporating play structures with minimal depth requirements. Then as the park extends into deeper water, we incorporate larger flagship play structures.

Constant Play Zones - are the key to a fun and efficient layout by providing areas for users to move and navigate circuits and pathways using challenge track pieces. When linked together, these track pieces provide endless fun and a variety of ways to experience the Aquapark.

High Profile Excitement Zone (HPEZ) - are incorporated when an Aquapark venue has adequate water depths. In these parks, Aquaglide's competitive advantage is on full display as we position several of the largest feature components to provide the ultimate wow factor for users. No other aquapark brand comes close to delivering the same level of excitement as Aquaglide does with its large components like the Skyrocket Swing, Freefall Supreme Slide and Play Station, and Summit Slide.

High Profile Excitement Zone Pathway (HPEZP) - is a designated pathway to the HPEZ that incorporates moderate components in order to provide an easier path for younger users and the less adventurous.

Universal Monsoon Spray Station - is an optional octagon-shaped sprinkler platform that shoots a carefully controlled spray of water in a large radius from its center. Not only does this feature provide rainbows of color, but the cooling spray also keeps users comfortable, equipment clean, and maximizes the wow-factor of sliding surfaces throughout the Aquapark.

As the name suggests, Aquaglide Micro Aquapark layouts are generally small to moderate in size and emphasize maximum excitement focused around main feature items. Micro layouts generally fit a specific user type (such as active, excitement-oriented teens) more than other aquapark series.

These layouts work best for camps and moderate-volume commercial operators and can be easily fine-tuned to meet specific needs such as age-group, budget, or target capacity. By minimizing pathways, Micro layouts are designed to provide maximum play value at a minimal cost. In places where the priority is big excitement for a controlled number of users, Aquaglide Micro layouts provide the maximum wow factor that fits almost any budget.

Aquaglide Circuit layouts blend some of the best attributes of Aquaglide’s Micro and Ring Series layouts. Circuits frequently use a perimeter pathway interspersed with moderate challenge features, then are spiked with strategically placed high excitement signature items. Circuit parks are designed for camp, commercial, and resort use but are highly adaptable and can be customized to meet specific needs.

Circuit layouts are an excellent choice for aquapark operators with fluctuating capacity, where there may be fewer users during certain days but maxed out weekends. They offer maximum capacity for peak periods yet are easy to staff at low capacity. These layouts can vary greatly and appeal to a wide range of user groups—from young children to active teens and families. By offering many of the same attributes found on Micro and Ring Series layouts, the Circuit is Aquaglide’s most versatile and adaptable layout series.

Aquaglide Ring Series layouts are easily distinguished by rounded corners and single or multiple loops that are usually interconnected. Ring layouts appeal to a wide range of age groups and allow a larger park capacity per area than any other Aquaglide Series. Ring Series parks work best in busy, high-volume commercial or resort operations that frequently run toward peak capacity but are also easily scalable without reconfiguring the original layout, making them well-suited for phased installations. Larger Ring layouts can be tailored to offer age-appropriate user-zones, which helps separate users and offer something for everyone—from young children to teens and parents.

Functionally, the Ring Series is more about “play-along-the-way,” by providing continual play value on pathways, which keeps users dispersed and reduces over-concentration on key signature features. Loaded with high excitement signature features, Ring Series pathways are densely packed with a variety of moderate features, offering nearly continuous play as users move throughout the park.

Aquaglide Serpentine Series layouts have a unique look. With a diversity of corner features, Serpentine layouts offer similar attributes as the Ring Series, except with a one-of-a-kind meandering aspect to each layout. Serpentine layouts appeal to a wide range of age groups and can be custom-tailored for higher density or a more open layout.

Maximum wow factor is the Serpentine Series' key selling point by presenting a diverse Aquapark in a unique layout. Serpentine layouts are the latest and greatest from Aquaglide and appeal to those who want maximum excitement and diversity in an Aquapark layout.
