Wiegand.Waterrides is known for highly innovative innovations in the waterslide segment. Interactive games, individual and sustainable stainless steel creations, combinations, the revolutionary SlideWheel and currently the spectacular SlideCoaster equipped with the rapid LSM acceleration technology. With over 40 years of experience, the family business Wiegand has now been given the opportunity to take over the proven products of the Dutch company Van Egdom. The company Van Egdom Recreatietechniek B.V. was founded in 1965 as a family business. At the beginning, Van Egdom offered filter systems for pools. When Berend Klaassens bought the company in 1977, the market changed. The pool operators wanted more! The very first water slide was created for the former Sporthuis Centrum – now CenterParcs Het Meerdal – and was only 35m long. Since that time, 7,500 projects have been implemented in 55 countries.
The owner of Wiegand.Waterrides, Mr Hendrik Wiegand, says: "The classic and latest products and the European experience with consideration of all applicable EU standards have convinced us. We have been very strong in the field of stainless steel water slides for 40 years and started building GRP (glass fibre reinforced plastic) 15 years ago. We are thrilled to combine the long experience of the new company with ours and now to significantly strengthen our portfolio in this area. All existing Van Egdom customers can count on us."
There will be intensive one-on-one meetings with Van Egdom employees. In the future, the slides will also be manufactured at the Wiegand.Waterrides production facility. The forms for spectacular and proven water slide concepts are adopted:
In Europe unique, huge 4-person funnel slide "Cyclone" with 19m diameter /white water rivers with several special features /cone water slide: with 2-person /slide tires through several funnels in the slide course/children's water play concepts with towers, different slides etc. / bowl water slide for 1 and 2 tyres /water wave slide with boats for amusement parks and much more.
For these new slides in the Wiegand.Waterrides product family, the exciting themes customary for Wiegand are now also possible with elaborate GRP patterns (for example with zebra crossings!), themed elements, sound, gaming, latest led effects, how-spray water surprises and the innovative Wie-Glow© black light technology! Of course, the insulation options are also now available, such as sandwich insulation or the newInsuflex© flexible insulation.
