SIAM PARK NEWS

Considered the “Oscar” of the amusement park industry awards, it recognizes the excellence of the exceptional water park in Tenerife.

Siam Park, the water park located on the island of Tenerife, has just been honored with the prestigious Applause Award 2024, considered as “the Oscar” within the global amusement park industry. This great recognition was awarded on Sunday, March 3rd, at a ceremony held at the Venetian Resort in Las Vegas during a gala where IAAPA also presented its annual awards. This is the first time that the IAAPA Honors and the Applause Award have come together this year to celebrate excellence and innovation in the entertainment park sector.

“We are very excited that the Applause Award joins the IAAPA Honors presentation. The idea of this new event is to celebrate excellence in the global attractions industry, but also to emphasize what each of the attendees can learn from the award winners to improve their own business,” says Jakob Wahl, CEO and president of IAAPA.

The Applause Award is an international accolade given by Liseberg, a large theme park in Gothenburg, Sweden, awarded biennially to the amusement park that “has inspired the industry with its insight, originality, and strong business development through its management, operations, and creative achievements,” explains Andreas Veilstrup Andersen, president and CEO of the Liseberg Group and chairman of the Applause Award Board. The award, which began in 1980 with the recognition of Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom, has recognized the best in this industry around the world every two years. A cast in which Siam Park now enters with all honors, thanks to the quality and innovation features that make the Water Kingdom the highest-rated water park on the planet. A Recognition of Excellence

This award adds to the long list of accolades for Siam Park, which in 2024 received for the ninth time the recognition as the Traveller’s Best of The Best from Trip Advisor’s customers, the largest travel portal on the planet. In addition, it has been awarded twelve times with the European Star Award for the Best Water Park in Europe and with 3 editions of the Park World Excellence Award.

Chistoph Kiessling, vice president of the Loro Parque Group, pointed out the importance of this achievement:

“For us, this award is very special because it comes from our own sector and values the enormous effort we maintain in Siam Park, to constantly innovate, with the highest quality standards, always in search of excellence.”

The vice president also wanted to highlight the value of the human team of Siam Park “that makes it possible to offer clients a perfect experience, in every sense, on each visit”.

The award, designed by the Swedish sculptor Astri Taube, consists of a bronze statue of two hands clapping, in a perfect recreation of applause for success. This award is of great relevance as it represents recognition made by the amusement park industry itself, applying the highest standards of demand in all areas of evaluation and honors a park whose management, operations, and creative achievements have inspired the industry with foresight, originality, and solid business development.

Today, Friday, August 12, the 18 candidates for ‘Miss sur’ 2022 were presented at Siam Park. The event took place in the area called “Champagne club”. The young ladies themselves had the opportunity to get to know this area and, in addition, they experienced the adrenaline rush in most of the attractions, this time through “SIAM NIGHT”, nights of real fun under the moon, which is taking place during the months of July and August, between 20:00 and 00:00 hours (Fridays and Saturdays).

In addition to the young aspirants, Mr. José Domingo Regalado, mayor of Granadilla de Abona and Sandro Pérgola, organizer and director of Miss Sur, were present.

The ‘Miss Sur’ gala, whose origins date back to 2012, celebrates its tenth anniversary. The event will take place on Saturday, August 27 in the Plaza de El Medano, Granadilla de Abona. The gala will begin at 9:00 pm and admission is free.

The mayor and the promoter emphasized that ‘Miss Sur’ is not just a conventional beauty contest, since the aspirants have the opportunity to develop themselves in different areas of communication, image and healthy lifestyle. In addition, during the course of ‘Miss Sur’, values such as respect, mutual support, empathy and teamwork are encouraged. These are some of the elements that make this contest a learning and development opportunity for all of them, apart from winning the contest.

After a break in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Loro Parque-Siam Park Cicloturista cycling event has resumed its activity and successfully celebrated its thirteenth edition this Sunday, 7 November. On this occasion, the organisers brought together hundreds of cycling enthusiasts who were able to enjoy, with all the safety measures, 80 kilometres of spectacle and sport in its purest form.

The start took place in Loro Parque at 9:00 in the morning and went through the municipalities of Puerto de la Cruz, Los Realejos, San Juan de la Rambla, Icod de los Vinos, El Tanque, Santiago del Teide, Guía de Isora and Adeje, where it ended when it reached the Siam Park facilities at around 14:00 in the afternoon.

The cycling event took place normally, without any surprises and at an optimum pace. All the participants were welcomed at the best water park in the world with a very complete snack that allowed them to replenish their energy after several hours of hard work.

In addition, a raffle was held to give away numerous gifts to all participants. After the celebration, the participants were able to share, together with their families, an afternoon of fun in Siam Park discovering each and every one of its spectacular attractions.

The Loro Parque-Siam Park Cicloturista cycling event has established itself as one of the most prestigious and popular non-competitive sporting events on Tenerife’s cycling calendar. Through this type of initiative, Loro Parque, Siam Park and the Cabildo of Tenerife seek to raise awareness among the population about the importance of practising sport and promoting sustainable tourism and respect for nature, elements that are perfectly combined in the event. Prestigious brands and institutions, such as Loro Parque Fundación; Fonteide; Isola; Frutas Cruz Santa; Fruvesur; Plátanos Pepe; Europastry; Compañía Cervecera de Canarias with Red Bull; Ahembo with Pepsi MAX, and Paluper, supported the event.

Siam Park always surprises its visitors with new proposals and ideas to make their experience even more incredible. On this occasion, the best water park in the world will celebrate Halloween on the 30th and 31st of October to the beat of ‘Siam Rocks’, an exclusive themed concert in the Siam Beach area for adrenaline and fun lovers.

There will be heated water, special effects and decorations that are typical of this popular autumn festival and that will fill the park with pumpkins, spiders, bats and other elements that are both terrifying and fun. There will also be a gift for children, who will be given a themed mask. The music, which will start on the beach from 15:30, will be heard in all the facilities, making the atmosphere vibrate in every corner thanks to Alex Rushin & The Spiritraisers Band.

On this special occasion, the atmosphere will be livelier than ever and attendees will be able to live an experience that many have missed after a long period of restrictions due to the pandemic caused by COVID-19. However, all health measures will be ensured so that the day is not only unforgettable but also safe.

Siam Park proves it every year: it is unrivalled. Once again, it has emerged as the absolute champion of water parks, having been distinguished as the best in Europe for the tenth consecutive year. The Park, located in Tenerife, has won the European Star Award, awarded by the leading publication and benchmark in the evaluation of theme parks, Kirmes & Park Revue, every year since this award has existed.

Likewise, one of Siam Park’s star attractions has also received great recognition: the spectacular Singha has won the award for the best attraction in Europe, reinforcing its leadership as a pioneering facility with an innovative water propulsion design. Already in 2015, the IAAPA had recognised it as Best New Water Attraction of the Year, as it is, more than a slide, a real water roller coaster with high-speed curves and 14 changes of direction in which to reach 6 m/s uphill and up to 18 m/s downhill, guaranteeing a real injection of adrenaline and fun.

Thus, on a regional level, it has established itself as one of the best leisure alternatives in the Canary Islands and, on an international level, it has consolidated its position as the best water park in the world with distinctions such as the Travellers’ Choice Award from TripAdvisor for seven consecutive years, the European Star Award for ten consecutive years, or the Park World Excellence Award on two occasions, among many others. In fact, Siam Park is the only water park with so many awards, always being far ahead of its competitors. Also, many of Siam Park’s attractions have received their own awards, such as Singha, Kinnaree or The Dragon.

For the selection of the winners of this edition, the jury, formed by an independent team of experts, has distinguished those parks that have stood out, in an exceptional way, for their achievements in matters such as innovation or entrepreneurship, especially valuing the prevention measures implemented for the fight against COVID-19. In this sense, Siam Park has the highest safety standards for both visitors and its staff and has intensified the cleaning protocols of all areas.

This morning, Wednesday 15th September, Siam Park has reached 10 million visitors who have visited its facilities since it opened in September 2008. At a time that has been fateful for tourism due to the crisis generated by COVID-19 and after 14 months of closure, the Park, more spectacular than ever, has reached a historic figure before the end of 2021, a very positive figure that reinforces its position as a benchmark for the sector.

The arrival of the 10,000,000th customer coincided with the entrance of a family of three, a couple with a 5-year-old girl, who were welcomed to the Park with flowers and balloons and presented with a villa, bottle of champagne and all-inclusive bracelets to enjoy the Siam Park experience in all its splendour.

Among these 10 million visitors are numerous personalities, politicians, actors, footballers and other celebrities, such as Shakira, Paz Vega, Matt Damon, Steve Aoki, Courtois, Di María or Pedrito, among many others.

Thus, on a regional level, it has established itself as one of the best leisure alternatives in the Canary Islands and, on an international level, it has consolidated its position as the best water park in the world with distinctions such as the TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice for seven consecutive years, the European Star Award for nine consecutive years, or the Park World Excellence Award on two occasions, among many others. In fact, Siam Park is the only water park with so many awards, always being far ahead of its competitors. Along the same lines, many of Siam Park’s attractions have received their own awards, such as Singha, Kinnaree or The Dragon.

International organisations of maximum influence in the attractions industry, such as the World Waterpark Organisation (WWA) or the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions (IAAPA) have valued the quality of the Park and its capacity for innovation, as well as the development of knowledge in the sector’s industry.

Likewise, since its inauguration 13 years ago, the more than 10 million visitors who have enjoyed the Park endorse the excellence of its facilities, technological complexity and environmental commitment, which have been the key elements for its international positioning and the various awards it has received during this time.

After the great response from visitors since their reopening in May and June, Loro Parque and Siam Park have announced that they will reopen from Monday to Sunday, every day of the week, from the 14th (Siam Park) and 15th July (Loro Parque). On their respective websites you can consult the opening times and all the details about the current operation of the parks and the safety measures.

In this sense, all the sanitary measures are guaranteed so that the experience is not only exciting, but also completely safe.

Emotions and adrenaline at Siam Park

Now that it is open every day again, from 10:00 to 18:00, visitors will be able to enjoy the excitement and adrenaline at Siam Park as normal, in compliance with the safety measures necessary due to the pandemic situation caused by COVID-19.

This is possible thanks to the queue control at the entrance to the Park; the disinfection mats and arches; the signage to remind the interpersonal safety distance; the automated temperature control, and the capacity control, among other measures that can be consulted on its website and that make it possible to enjoy all the attractions to the maximum without compromising safety.

Siam Park finally reopened its doors this weekend. On Saturday 29 May, the day before the Day of the Canary Islands, the best water park in the world welcomed its visitors back and from now on it will be open to the public on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from 10:00 to 18:00.

In addition, on Friday morning, 28 May, an exclusive pre-opening took place for owners of an annual ticket, who were able to enjoy the park for the first time after a long wait. During the day, Christoph Kiessling, Vice President of Loro Parque Company and Director of Siam Park, was also visited by authorities and friends, such as the Mayor of Adeje, José Miguel Rodríguez Fraga, and shared with the media all the news and information about the security measures and the new operations of the Water Kingdom.

Present at the event were many of the islands’ main television and radio stations as well as newspapers, and several programmes were broadcast live from Siam Park’s facilities. “We have been missing it and couldn’t wait for this day to finally arrive,” agreed everyone who was present.

The president of the Loro Parque Company, Wolfgang Kiessling, announced this morning, Wednesday 19th May, that Siam Park will open its doors from next Saturday, 29th May, every weekend from 10:00 to 18:00. He did so within the framework of FITUR, the prestigious international tourism fair that takes place every year in Madrid and which has resumed its celebration after the break caused by COVID-19.

The moment that millions of visitors to Siam Park have been waiting for has finally arrived: the return of the best water park in the world after 14 months of forced closure. In fact, a great welcome is expected, similar to what has already happened at Loro Parque and the Poema del Mar aquarium. Residents and tourists who are already in the archipelago have been very happy and have filled their facilities according to the limitations imposed by the current situation.

From today until 23 May, visitors will be able to visit the stand (9D02) in Hall 9, where they will find all kinds of information, new products and news. The Company, which has already arranged numerous meetings with tour operators, is thus relaunching its activity and reinforcing its position as a leading tourism group.

Siam Park, best water park in the world for the seventh year in a row

Despite having been closed for more than a year, there is still no doubt: Siam Park is the best water park in the world, and it is in Spain. This has been confirmed by the Travellers’ Choice Award, which Siam Park has received for seven consecutive years thanks to the positive evaluations of its visitors on the prestigious travel portal TripAdvisor. Siam Park is the only park to have achieved this distinction so many times in a row, and also the only park to have received this award since TripAdvisor launched the “water parks” category seven years ago.

This repeated recognition is undoubtedly the result of the constant innovation and reinvestment of the Loro Parque Company in all its projects, with which it always pursues excellence. In addition to being a reference in the TripAdvisor awards, it also enjoys international recognition thanks to the European Star Award for Best Water Park in Europe for the ninth consecutive year, or the Park World Excellence Award, which recognised it in 2019 as Best Water Park of the Year, among many others that make it the most recognised and awarded park on the planet. Singha is also the number one attraction in the world, followed by The Dragon and the Tower of Power.

In addition to its spectacular attractions, the beauty of this park is, in itself, an incomparable attraction, and nothing compares to being able to enjoy unique attractions in the world, in an unprecedented setting of lush vegetation and Thai design and decoration. Visitors will be able to experience first-hand the thrills of Tower of Power and its 28-metre-high slide as well as Singha and many other impressive state-of-the-art attractions without which a holiday in Tenerife would not be complete.

And for those seeking relaxation in an exclusive environment, Siam Park offers Siam Beach, the most paradisiacal beach with artificial waves in the Canary Islands, where the incredible waves of The Wave Palace break. Siam Park, located in Adeje, Tenerife, is a place where good weather and fun are guaranteed all year round. This makes it another must-see if you are travelling to the Canary Islands.

Loro Parque, Siam Park and Poema del Mar will turn off their exterior lights this Saturday, 24^th March, from 8:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.

The Loro Parque company will turn off the lights this Saturday, 24th March, in support of the ‘Earth Hour’, an initiative by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF). All three parks, Loro Parque, Siam Park and Poema del Mar, will be switching their exterior lights off between 8:30 pm and 9:30 pm in order to support the efforts of raising awareness about the climate change and its negative effect on the biodiversity, a cause with which a company has a firm commitment.

According to the WWF, this campaign goes beyond a symbolic act of turning off the lights during one hour. Over the time, it has turned into a major global movement to address a problem that affects every one of us: the climate change. Since the start of the ‘Earth Hour’ in Sydney in 2007, thousands of cities and towns have turned their lights off in solidarity with the initiative. At the same time, social networks lit up in an effort to encourage all the governments around the world to take active political measures regarding the energy issue.

The Loro Parque company maintains a strong commitment with the protection of the biodiversity and, for that reason, it implements through Loro Parque Fundación numerous environmental projects around the world. From the energy saving perspective, one of the main company initiatives was a creation of its own photovoltaic plant, which allows to reduce emitting of more than 2 000 tons of CO2 into the atmosphere every year (which is equivalent to the emission from about 800 cars).

The climate change is a complex problem and one of its most dramatic effects is the loss of biodiversity. This serves as the principal reason for the company to join to the ‘Earth Hour’ initiative and, thus, reinforce its own efforts realized on a daily basis: raising awareness about this problem and encouraging the public to support the investigation work for the preservation of the environment. In addition to turning off the lights, Loro Parque, Siam Park and Poema del Mar, through their respective social network profiles will be encouraging the public to join this initiative, in order to achieve a bigger impact in an effort the situation on our Planet.

Winter is coming with an incredible offer! Come and enjoy Siam Park with our special package including a locker, a lunch and a neoprene suit.

Siam Park has been awarded with the European Star Award for the ‘Best Aquatic Park in Europe’ for the sixth consecutive year, this award is given annually by Kirmes & Park Revue, the leading publication and benchmark in the valuation of theme parks.

The ceremony, organized by the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions (IAAPA), took place in Berlin, in the framework of the European fair of attractions, Euro Attractions Show 2017, which is being held these days in the German capital.

Two of the park’s star attractions have also received great recognition, entering the European Top 10 list. The spectacular Singha, a pioneer water-roller coaster, with its 240-meter length, 14 changes of direction and innovative water propulsion design, has won the ‘2nd Best Attraction in Europe Award’ and Kinnaree mega-slide took the 6th place.

The Park’s Director Christoph Kiessling received the awards in person and thanked the recognition, reinforcing the work of the entire team that makes it possible for Siam Park to maintain all its quality standards at the highest level year after year. “Singha and Kinnaree are two clear examples of the success of investment in innovation and excellence, and we’ll stick to this guideline in the new water park that we are going to open on the island of Gran Canaria. Our goal is to continue growing and offering the best leisure offer”.

These prizes are the most important at European level within the entertainment industry, and the jury, made up of an independent team of experts, has distinguished those parks that have excelled exceptionally for their achievements in matters such as innovation or the enterprise.

This award is followed by the Travelers’ Choice Award, awarded by TripAdvisor this summer, in which Siam Park was awarded The Nr.1 Waterpark in the World for the fourth consecutive year.

The famous presenter and star of English television and radio, Tim Lindon, chose Tenerife to enjoy a few days of vacation and decided to cool off in Siam Park recently. Along with a group of friends from the UK, Tim experienced an exciting day of absolute fun, even daring to have a go on all the attractions of this stunning park, awarded as the #1 water park in the world by Trip Advisor. Tim has always loved working in radio and has also presented for some well-known TV channels including Nickelodeon, CBBC and ITV 3 and is particularly known for his programme ‘The Beach,’ aired on the radio on the east coast of England. As well as taking in the sea air walking his dog on the beach, Tim enjoys taking out his adrenaline and never missing the chance of having a good time with his friends, on this occasion, at Siam Park.

Siam Park continues to reap success and this week received the International Award for the best Water Park in the world from Trip Advisor, the world’s biggest travel website with 260 million users per month.
