ORLANDO WATERSPORTS COMPLEX ANNOUNCES NEW ATTRACTION LAUNCHING SPRING OF 2018 Aktion Parks

ORLANDO, FL (January 16, 2018) — Aktion Parks is pleased to announce Orlando Watersports Complex (OWC) will be adding an inflatable Aquapark in Spring of 2018.

Orlando Watersports Complex (OWC) will be the first in Central Florida to launch the inflatable Aquapark attraction. Known by many as the world’s most recognized cable park, OWC will be adding the inflatable Aquapark by Wibit, the premier inflatables manufacturer in the water park industry. The aquapark concept is inspired by LEGO blocks, featuring a modular series of interlocking climbing obstacles, pathways, slides, and trampolines, allowing for endless fun for all ages.

With multiple challenges like the XXL climbing tower, trampoline, balance beam, monkey bars, rodeo slide and much more the Aquapark at OWC will provide hours of fun for families. The new attraction will complement our world-famous cable park situated on a 60-acre lake that features two full size cable systems, a two tower cable system used for our Get-Up-Guarantee, and the award winning Super Air Nautique G23 and record-breaking Ski Nautique 200 available for lessons on the boat lake.

The Aquapark will be a great addition for anyone looking for a unique event for corporate and private parties, especially birthday parties! OWC is open year-round to the public except for Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

“Our Aktion Parks team is excited about this new attraction at OWC which will open this spring; it is a fantastic addition to our world famous water park and will be great for both kids and adults, making it the perfect activity for families,” stated Bill Yeargin, CEO of Correct Craft (owner of Aktion Parks).
