Bringing to life the vision you have for
how guests will enjoy your park is our passion at Wizard Works. Your
reality can include the value-added versatile features our
SmartWorks technology gives to water park environments. Here’s the
difference Wizard Works makes for you.
INTERACTIVITY DEFINED:
“Interactivity” is a term people use a lot in the water park
entertainment industry. But what does it really mean?
Interactivity is “two people or things influencing or having an
effect on each other.” It also means “allowing a two-way flow of
information between a user and a computer or other electronic device
that responds to the user's input. Only one water park product
company delivers features that empower people to interact with each
other using computer information flows to generate exciting volumes
of sprays, streams and splashes. That’s Wizard Works!
PASSIVITY vs. INTERACTIVITY
What most companies refer to as “interactive” really is passive.
Most eject water from colored pipes, and if participants happen to
pass under them at the right moments, they get wet.
One is not doing anything to contribute to the experience. Water
drips or spills, and you passively get wet -- if you’re lucky!
WIZARD WORKS PUTS USERS IN CONTROL OF THE FUN
Over the years we have designed, developed and constructed countless
attractions and features that give your guests hands-on control to
generate impressive levels of truly interactive play experiences
that have exceeded expectations for how they enjoy your parks.
You can choose from an extensive portfolio of individual interactive
play elements which can be used to customize your park and play area
of any size.
THE SCIENCE OF PLAY-VALUE
Wizard Works employees have more than thirty years experience
designing water parks and equipment, and are responsible for dozens
of industry patents. This experience gives us a unique perspective
on the science of engineering "play-value." We meticulously analyze
how children intuitively desire to play in water parks, and we
engineer play equipment that meets and exceeds those expectations.
Our features capture and give expression to that "play-value!"
SMART ENGINEERING - SIMPLE OPERATION - EASY MAINTENANCE
Wizard Works’ SmartWorks driven play features are engineered to be
easy to use, operate and repair. Many components are standardized
and easy to access. Simple maintenance instructions, and how-to’s
are included with each equipment purchase. Trained technical staff
are a phone call/email away.
On site support is available and recommended with each installation.
Only the most durable materials are used to construct Wizard Works
products. They look like toys, but are designed from super sturdy
industrial components that can handle the daily robust activities
from the most rugged and rowdy children and teens. Our products are
designed to perform year in and year out and never break - even
under the most strenuous play activities!
Whether you are shopping to assist your clients or filling your own
water park needs, Wizard Works' easy to maintain, simple to operate
SmartWorks engineered features can meet your needs.
Give us the opportunity to earn your trust and thrill your client’s
and customers.

| Innovation |
|
To be a good
innovator, you need good tools.
The days of old, clunky mechanical interactive technology is
over. Mechanical interactivity is simply about opening and
closing a mechanical valve to allow water pass through.
Examples of mechanical technology is opening a sink faucet
or flushing a toilet bowl. Problem is, there are only so
many ways to deliver fun using this methodology. Eventually,
you run out of ways to make it fun. To complicate it
further, it is difficult, if not impossible for small
children to generate enough leverage to “pump” water to
higher elevations. Manufacturers have reached this
limitation many years ago which is why nothing new has been
developed until Wizard Works came along.
Wizard Works realized these limitations at the end of the
20th century and recognized the need to move beyond. The
result of our efforts is SmartWorks Technology, which
captures the vastness of computer technology. We figured
that if we could somehow allow a means for participants to
communicate with a computer (hidden in a remote utility
room), and if we could master the ability to program this
computer to provide interesting effects in response, then we
will have gained the advantage of being able to constantly
change the computer, thereby changing the play experience.
Once we conceived this idea and got to work, it grew before
our very eyes.

We didn’t
realize at first exactly how vast our opportunities would
be. We quickly realized that a whole world opened for us and
there was really no end to what we can do. We discovered
that every time we had a new idea on an entertainment
feature, we had a quick solution for it. We gathered and
tested hundreds and thousands of components, and designed
products that can allow guests to play with.
We started to play with computer-controlled valves that can
open and close at any speed demanded by the SmartWorks
computer. This simple first step already blew past the
mechanical technology because we can open and close the
valves in rapid succession for a cool effect or we could
hold open the valve for any desired length of time. We also
realized that we can build devices for small children to
easily operate and then force the computer to control the
effect. This enables us to allow small children to move huge
volumes of water. Then we discovered the use of compressed
air to create depth charges or blast geysers 100-feet high
or launch 30-gallon cannon balls across a pool. We moved on
to using a plethora of light effects and visual effects. We
developed sound technology where we enhance the play
experience with digitally mastered sound effects like
cartoon character voices and giggles and fire engine sounds
and anything else we could think of.
The inception of SmartWorks Technology has blown the doors
wide open for innovation. With this vast technology, we are
confident that we can take any idea a client would have for
an attraction, and we can make it come to life.
If you aren’t a believer yet, just take a look at our Human
Pinball Water Ride and see the kind of power this technology
can provide. Then use your imagination and think of how you
could put it to use. We accept your challenge to make it
happen. |
