The award-winning waterpark immersive experience expertly blends real-world waterslide thrills with engaging digital adventures is making its Mountain West debut at Utah's premier waterpark.
SAN FRANCISCO - Californer -- Ballast Technologies, Inc. is proud to announce that Splash Summit Waterpark will debut Utah's first VRSlide® experience in summer 2026. The installation will be the company's 14th VRSlide worldwide, joining popular locations across South Korea, Germany, major cruise line fleets, and others. VRSlide has become a global benchmark for immersive waterpark attractions, earning Best Waterslide by USA Today earlier this year, and its arrival in the Mountain West marks a significant milestone for both companies.
"Immersive experiences are shaping the future of the attractions industry, and tech giants like Apple, Samsung, Meta, and Valve are reinforcing that direction with a wave of new headset launches," said Clay Talley, Vice President of Customer Experience and Marketing at Ballast VR. "Adding VRSlide positions Utah's premier waterpark as leader in this next phase of immersive entertainment."
More on The Californer
VRSlide transforms a waterslide by pairing it with a waterproof virtual reality headset that syncs real physical movement with a library of themed digital adventures. The system is engineered for continuous waterpark use and adheres to strict safety and manufacturer standards, delivering cutting-edge immersion, high reliability for daily high-volume operations, and a clear opportunity for additional revenue generation.
"This project is a meaningful one for me," Clay added. "I began my career in the attractions industry at this park nearly twenty years ago, and having the opportunity to help introduce next-generation experiences here is incredibly special. It genuinely feels like a full-circle moment."
The enhanced attraction is scheduled to open in May 2026, with presales and season pass information available later this year. For more information, visit splashsummit.com
