Chu Wai Lune, Chief Executive Officer of Gamuda Land who was present at the ceremony mentioned, “As town planners, we planned for Gamuda Cove to not only include the home place, but also the park place, shopping place, eating place and of course the play place. This is because, we know that when we get the places right, our town will work. The waterpark represents a great addition towards Gamuda Cove’s list of placemaking offerings, and the team is thrilled to offer SplashMania’s ‘Where Nature Meets Fun’ hospitality to visitors from far and wide, both local and international.” He adds that the waterpark is projected to attract an annual visitorship of 800,000.

A digitalised experience
As part of the waterpark’s digitalisation efforts to offer convenience to its visitors and customers, Gamuda Land has introduced its GL Play mobile application – available for download on Google Play and Apple App Store.

Through the application, visitors will be able to purchase admission tickets ahead of time on top of using it to navigate and check out the available waterslides on the digital park map. Visitors would also be able to place orders at the various F&B offerings and stay notified on when to collect their food and drinks, making for a pleasant waterpark experience. Aside from that, the application entails a component known as GL CLIX which allows visitors to download high-resolution photos of themselves taken on rides during their visit through facial recognition technology.

Over 2,200 visitors attended the Soft Launch Ceremony.
Sanjay Nadarajah, General Manager (Leisure & Hospitality) of Gamuda Land said, “Key learnings and best practices on the implementation of technology in theme parks across the region were one of the key considerations to ensure the guest experience in SplashMania Waterpark is a more pleasant one. With technology, such as the GL Play App, it not only helps create a safer experience for guests, but provides a seamless experience. The process of collecting and paying for passes can be done prior to arrival while also allowing visitors to skip the queue and order their F&B online to collect it when it is ready. We want our guests to maximise their ‘fun’ time at SplashMania.”

A fan favourite was The Plunge waterslide that begins 3 storeys high at the top of the Amazonia ship and sends visitors for a steep and thrilling ride down.
“In the planning of SplashMania’s phased opening, we are positive that the offerings at hand will be able to spark an enjoyable, unforgettable and safe experience for guests of all ages,” Sanjay continued.
