At this year’s IAAPA Attractions Expo, Aquatic Development Group (ADG) will showcase two of its latest projects.
The company successfully designed and built two of water rides in 2018. In Ohio, the company opened its second Adventure Lagoon at Zoombezi Bay. Dubbed "Otter Banks", this project was the third expansion that ADG worked on for the park.
Canobie Lake in New Hampshire chose ADG’s Tidal River water ride to be its anchor attraction for its waterpark expansion, along with a new slide tower, kids play area, and increased decking for lounge, cabanas and food and beverage outlets.
