SIAM PARK NOVENDADES

This week, Siam Park has received the Park World Excellence Award for Water Park of the Year for the second consecutive time. Thus, the ‘Water Kingdom’ continues to celebrate after having also been named the World’s Best Water Park by the TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice Award for the sixth consecutive year and Best Water Park in Europe in the European Star Awards, in this case, for the eighth time.

This second edition of the awards was held in Paris and was once again a success in enabling Europe’s best operators, suppliers, manufacturers and entertainment specialists not only to run for awards, but also to nominate other leading companies for recognition.

Siam Park has won for the second consecutive year for continuing to be rated as the best according to visitors, for the quality and comfort of its facilities, its world-class theming and the events held this year.

Since its inauguration 11 years ago, the excellence of the facilities, technological complexity and environmental commitment have been the key elements for its international positioning and the various awards it has received during this time.

After being recognised for the sixth consecutive year as the Best Water Park in the World, Siam Park has once again been awarded the distinction of Best Water Park in Europe. This is the eighth time that Kirmes & Park Revue, the leading publication and reference point in the evaluation of theme parks, has awarded it this prize.

The ceremony, organised by the International Association of Amusement Parks and Entertainment (IAAPA), took place in Paris, within the framework of the European amusement fair Euro Attractions Show 2019, which is being held right now in the French capital.

In addition, three of the Park’s star attractions have also received top recognition: the mega-toboggan-ride Kinnaree has won the prize for Europe’s second best attraction, fourth place in the same category went to the spectacular Singha, a pioneering water roller-coaster with an innovative water propulsion design, and sixth place went to the Tower of Power, a fast slide that starts from a height of 28 metres where riders reach a speed of 80 km/h.

But that’s not all, two Siam Park attractions have also been recognised in the category of best family attractions: in second place, the fun Jungle Snake and, in seventh, Sawasdee, a special children’s area that includes the best points of the grown-ups’ attractions, adapted to the size of the younger members of the family. This demonstrates that this water kingdom is recognised for its attractions for both the older and younger members of the family, having won the most important European award in the entertainment industry.

To select the winners of this edition, the jury, formed by an independent team of experts, has distinguished those parks that have exceptionally excelled for their achievements in areas such as innovation or entrepreneurship.

Siam Park, recognised as the world’s best water park for five consecutive years by TripAdvisor, continues to reap successes. Travelcircus, a prestigious German web platform specialising in premium travel experiences, has recently awarded Siam Park their prestigious ‘Best Water Park in Europe’ award.

There are now more than 200 Water Parks across Europe and last year the number of their visitors grew by up to 14 per cent. Travelcircus has carefully examined the 50 most popular Water Parks from a total of 21 European countries and evaluated them according to 10 criteria: seasonality (number of months the park is open); dimensions (area of the water park in m²); fun in the water (number of slides and attractions in total); fun for children (number of slides for children); adrenaline factor (number of extreme slides); theming (design of the park); cost (entry price); demand (Google search volume); Instagram contributions and TripAdvisor ratings.

Finally, after a methodical analysis, Travelcircus determined that the best Water Park in Europe is Siam Park. The large area of the park with 185,000m² of pure fun is underlined and, since its inauguration in 2008, it has always offered great entertainment for both young and old. The web platform points out that it’s no wonder that Siam Park is recognised as the best water park, both in Europe and the world, because almost no other offers such an impressive design, highlighting its Thai style, or so many exciting attractions as Siam Park. Other highlights include the park’s wide range of attractions, with more than 20 slides open to the public; the impressive 28-metre high Tower of Power that passes through a shark pool at the end; and the beach with the world’s tallest artificial waves that reach 3.8 metres in height.

On the verge of celebrating its eleventh anniversary, Siam Park maintains its position as a leader in the sector thanks to its excellent service, its magnificent facilities, its responsibility towards the environment, its technological advances, the plurality of awards received and, most importantly, the large number of positive comments from its visitors.
