Vortex Aquatic Structures International, world leader in aquatic play solutions, is pleased to introduce the new Ombrello line of products and the Spin No1.
Louis Drouin, ADIQ, Product Designer at Vortex, explains the vision behind the new concept. “It was very obvious to me where the inspiration for this design came from. One of my most cherished childhood memories is when during warm summer rainfalls, dressed in rubber boots, a yellow raincoat, and armed with my umbrella, I would rush outdoors to jump in the puddles, pick up earthworms, and especially, twirl my umbrella round and round! We have therefore largely incorporated rotation actions in these new product designs, giving shape to two new experiences: Twirl & Spin! At the same time, we hope to evoke people’s collective memory with our Ombrello — the prominent feature of this new product line themed on dancing in the rain.”
Combine multiple Ombrellos to create a one-of-a-kind centerpiece for Splashpads®, Spraypoints®, water parks and aquatic facilities.
The Spin No1 and Ombrello Spin No1 & No2 are the first ride-on aquatic play features. Using Vortex’s new load-bearing SpindleTM, these features allow users to stand or sit on a platform while pushing off the ground with their feet to make themselves spin around and around.
Users can control the Ombrello Twirl No1 & No2’s spiraling water effects thanks to Vortex’s new free-spinning technology. As a user spins the soft-touch rotating sphere, the water pouring over the features’ SeeflowTM dome flies further and wider – creating an impressive water effect.
These new play features and interactive technologies foster active free play, physical development, interactive play and collaborative play.
