Kalahari Introduces Nation’s First Indoor SuperLOOP Slides


Since performing work on the first phase of the indoor waterpark in 1999, Ramaker & Associates has completed various additional phases over the past twelve years. Recently, we were asked to return to the Kalahari-Wisconsin Dells’ original indoor waterpark for the installation of new and exciting features. As part of a multi-million dollar renovation project, the Kalahari will introduce the first indoor SuperLOOP slides in the United States!

The three rides have trap-doors that drop out from under you and you are propelled at speeds up to 38 feet per second! One ride is an open flume with a longer straight drop while the other two are enclosed, looping rides. In order to make room for these awesome new rides, an area of the roof was raised from 50’ high to 77’ high. It was especially challenging to fit three unique rides over, through and around the existing features!

Ramaker provided aquatic, MEP and structural engineering.


Vote for the new slide name on facebook.com/kalahariresorts from now until Nov. 25th
