Pt. Baruga Asrinusa Development, Kalla Group, collaborated with Polin and their Indonesian agent Hardjonosigit in the planning and construction of the waterpark in Perumahan Bukit Baruga, Antang, Makassar, in South Sulawesi.
The world class waterpark has been themed to reflect the rural heritage, culture and values of the region. The Bugis are a South Sulawesi Austronesian ethnic group. 
Adwin Pratama, Marketing and Advertising Manager for Bugis, says “We wanted the park to reflect the values and philosophy of the area-to give children and their families an opportunity to learn more about the culture and language of the Bugis.”
Names from the Bugis language have been used for the Bugis Waterpark Adventure’s three zones and ten attractions:
