Water Park Design And Build With Real Engineering Behind It

Dream up the giant slide tower, the wave zone that owns the skyline or a family play area packed with action.

How We Plan And Design Your Water Park

Turn the master plan into slides, waves, rivers and play zones ready for opening day.

Our water park planning services follow five steps, from site survey to the technical data your civil and utility teams need.

01

Requirements and Site Survey

We agree your project requirements, then survey and analyse the site conditions before any layout work starts.

02

Concept Planning and Master Layout

We develop the park concept and master layout, with 3D renderings, attraction mix and guest flow.

03

Theming Design

We design the park theme and carry it through attraction colours, shapes and the wider layout. New concepts are put to the test at Tailong International’s pilot testing base and Merrypi Waterpark, our self-owned 130,000 m² R&D park.

04

Equipment Process Condition Drawings

We issue drawings that set out the site conditions each attraction needs, plus structural and hydraulic design, manufacturing and installation drawings.

05

Interface Technical Documentation

We supply the utility and civil interface data your local teams need, then move into manufacturing, installation and commissioning.

Water Park Design For Different Ambitions

Tailong International designs water parks to build anticipation, create big attraction reveals and make the next ride impossible to ignore.

Water Park Theming

Give the park a strong identity.

Theming design is one of Tailong International’s own design steps, developing a central concept across the master plan, attraction colours, visual forms and landscaping.

At Four Seasons Guizhou, an ocean-beach-style experience was created in a mountainous setting, turning the location itself into part of the concept.

New Water Parks And Park Expansions

Add more rides, more capacity and more impact without wasting the footprint you already have.

Tailong International can redesign circulation, attraction placement and technical layouts around an existing park or plan a new one from scratch.

At Harbin Poseidon Ocean Kingdom, a new outdoor wave pool was added and linked to the original indoor water park, adding capacity after a fully booked first year.

Large-Scale Water Park Design

Go bigger without turning the park into a maze of disconnected rides.

Tailong International coordinates multi-zone layouts, high-capacity attractions, circulation and technical requirements across large-scale developments, backed by 35+ years of experience, 3,000+ installations across 40+ countries.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Water Park Design Services

How much land do you need to build a water park?

There is no fixed minimum, as it depends on the scale of the park. As a guide, small parks use about 2,000 to 8,000 m², mid-size parks 8,000 to 40,000 m², and large integrated water parks over 40,000 m². Our water park layout designers then plan the attractions, circulation and plant to suit your site.

What should a water park feasibility study include?

A water park feasibility study should cover location and market research, target guests, site conditions, the master plan and attraction selection, investment and operating cost estimates, revenue forecast and profitability, and risk, safety and compliance analysis.

What is the difference between a water park designer and a water park contractor?

A water park designer develops the master plan, attraction layout and design documentation. A contractor delivers the physical works. Tailong International operates across both disciplines, giving clients a water park design and build company with design, engineering, manufacturing and installation capabilities.

Can an existing pool or resort be converted into a water park?

Yes, in many cases. Tailong International first surveys the existing structure, loads, pool sizes, water supply and drainage, floor heights and space, then checks whether it can take slides, wave pools or splash features. We then issue a conversion plan that makes the most of the site and saves on investment.

What attractions should a new water park include?

The right mix depends on target capacity, audience and park concept. Tailong International can combine water slides, wave attractions, water rides, lazy rivers, interactive play and other attraction types within the master plan.

Can you design a water park for a hot, humid climate?

Yes. Tailong International can adapt the water park plan to local site and environmental conditions, with site-specific planning and engineering requirements incorporated into the project where relevant.

Can a water park be built indoors?

Yes, and indoor water parks can open all year, whatever the weather. Key design points are clear building height, roof load capacity, constant temperature and insulation, dehumidification and ventilation, and water treatment. Tailong International has worked on several indoor, temperature-controlled water parks, including Harbin Poseidon Ocean Kingdom.
