Creative Studio Berlin, the experiential design firm founded by Chris Lange, has announced that it has been appointed to produce an immersive water park expansion at Suntago Water World, Poland.
Suntago Water World first opened in February 2020 and marks the first phase of the Park of Poland resort development. It is the largest indoor water park in Europe and spans 20 hectares with a capacity of 15,000 visitors a day. It offers three themed zones: the Samaria, with 15 saunas; Relax, a pool area with more than 740 real trees; and Jamango Water Jungle, which includes a range of Polin water slides and boasts the longest indoor water slide in Europe at 320 meters.
Crocodile Island
Creative Studio Berlin developed the concept for the water park indoor expansion in 2022. It has now been appointed to produce the new family entertainment zone concept, which is named Crocodile Island.
Idan Greidinger, CEO of Park of Poland, says: “We reserved an 800sqm space inside our water park which will now be transformed. We are excited by this unique opportunity to work with Creative Studio Berlin to develop the backstory of their beloved mascots – Jay, Maggy and Otto – and to bring them to life on Crocodile Island. This new zone will be for the entire family.”
Laura Marakowits, CSB executive producer for the project, comments: “Creating a ‘dry’ space within a humid and chlorinated environment has its challenges, guiding a large number of our material selections, but we are confident that we are bringing the right vendors to the project. We are really looking forward to realizing this exciting and playful environment for the enjoyment of Suntago’s guests. We are well underway for an opening later this year.”
The tropical jungle themed Crocodile Island will be home to a group of animals who have built vibrant spaces where they can live and play. Their amazing, organic architecture can be found across the island.
It will feature four primary areas: the Boat, the Beach, the Rainforest, and the Ruins. Each will offer activities for a range of age groups, and will include unique games, interactives, climbing structures, and hidden surprises. Guests can easily move between these areas, and while exploring the island will learn about caring for the planet and its creatures.
Creative Studio Berlin recently celebrated the success of the Deutschlandmuseum in the Themed Entertainment Association Thea Awards. The attraction was recognised with the Museum Attraction, Limited Budget award, and is the first German museum to receive this honour.
