December, 2024 – In November 2023, we said goodbye to the beloved Superbowl slide at Waterbom Bali to make room for the exciting Kids Area, AquaPlay. While the spins and turns of the Superbowl slide can be enjoyed in the new Tailspin at Oasis Gardens, its spirit lives on through a sustainable transformation!

In line with our commitment to achieving Net Zero by 2033, we took great care in managing the slide's remaining fiberglass materials. Rather than letting them end up in a landfill, we repurposed them into features throughout the park.

The central funnel of the slide was re-purposed into a water feature which takes centre stage at our new Savannah Cafe (within our Kids Area) and we also used parts of the slide tubes and turned them into towel storage baskets.

Savannah Cafe embodies our eco-friendly ethos from its bamboo architecture, beautifully designed by Ibuku and built by Bamboopure, to its clever energy-saving strategies:
Natural Ventilation: The open-air design creates a refreshing air flow, while roof openings help dissipate heat.
Natural Lighting: The large, airy nature of the building allows sunlight during the day, minimizing our need for artificial lighting.
High-Performance Shading: TwinLite polycarbonate skylights let in light while reducing heat gain, optimizing energy efficiency.
Water Conservation: Low-flow taps and fixtures reduce water usage, and greywater is cleverly recycled for garden irrigation. Recycled fiberglass contributes to the cafe's closed-loop cooling feature.
Cooling Water Feature: The waterfall adds to the cafe's beauty and naturally cools the surrounding area, lowering the need for energy-intensive systems.
Closed-Loop Water System: The water used in the fountain is recycled, cleaned, and fed back into the system. This ensures visitors can confidently enjoy the feature, knowing the water is filtered and safe while conserving resources.

These thoughtful design choices reduce the cafe's carbon footprint while creating a vibrant space for our guests to enjoy. Each decision we make is with consideration toward our environment, and form part of our Sustainability Initiatives.

We also want to ensure the Superbowl's legacy lives on and continues to create joy in the park!
