Awards & Patents
We don’t like to showcase a trophy case, but we’ve won countless industry awards:
IAAPA Brass Rings Awards for our products, two TEA THEA Awards, and our clients’ projects win recognition with Leading Edge and Golden Ticket awards. What we think is significant, however, are the TripAdvisor awards that our clients receive. This guest endorsement directly helps their bottom line and is why WhiteWater parks are consistently among the Aecom rankings for the most visited water parks in the world.
Recognized by Deloitte as one of Canada’s Best Managed companies, it is no surprise that our in-house R&D team have created many world’s firsts. We’re always looking at ways we can bring innovation to improve parks. Thinking out of the box and creating products like Vantage is how we stay ahead and help shape trends in our field. We protect the innovation and intellectual property behind our products, owning dozens of patents for slide design, technology, water play structures, surf designs, and water rides.
