Hello, water park fans!

In our first Dev Diary, we explored how you can build pools in Aquapark Tycoon. Today, we’re shifting our focus to the different types of pools you can create. We’ll guide you on transforming a basic pool into one of the exciting variations featured below. Let’s dive in!

Once you’ve set up your basic pool, you can customize its type by adjusting factors such as water temperature, water type, depth, and equipment. Beyond the standard swimmer’s pool, you’ll have the following exciting options:

Sports Pool
This pool is perfect for those who prioritize swimming technique and speed! A sports pool should typically be long, around 2.5 meters deep, and filled with cool, refreshing water. Adding swim lines ensures proper lane separation, allowing your sports enthusiasts to train without interruptions.
Starting blocks are essential for encouraging guests to take daring dives into the cool water. To add even more excitement, equip the sports pool with various sports equipment to make all the fitness fans among your guests truly happy.

You can design the fun pool as either a non-swimmer or swimmer’s pool, making it enjoyable for visitors of all ages.

The thermal pool offers the ultimate retreat for guests seeking relaxation. With warm, mineral-enriched water maintained at a soothing 35 °C, it’s the perfect spot to melt away stress. The pool’s depth can be adjusted to allow adults to stand comfortably, enhancing overall comfort.
For an added touch of luxury, equip the thermal pool with massage jets and hydrotherapy fountains to provide your guests with a truly memorable experience. This is where they can fully unwind and relax.

This flexibility allows you to create relaxation zones exactly where your guests need them most.
