O'GLISS PARK WELCOMES ULTIMATE FAMILY COASTER
In 2028, O’Gliss Park in the Vendée region of France will welcome Manakai, the world’s first Spinfinity Splash Coaster. The new attraction marks the next step in the park’s evolution from a major water park into a truly immersive water destination, where attractions, landscapes and storytelling come together as one experience. Manakai will become the anchor attraction of a new themed area and a major milestone in the park’s long-term development.
Manakai combines the sensations of a roller coaster with water effects, immersive theming and a highly social ride experience. Guests sit face-to-face in specially designed vehicles, allowing families and friends to see and share each other’s reactions throughout the journey. Smooth movements and controlled rotation add excitement while directing guests towards key moments, scenery and effects.
Manakai will not simply be a coaster placed in the middle of a water park. It will be a complete universe. The memory will not be, "I went on a ride while everyone else waited for me," but rather, "We experienced it together."
— Michaël Thibaud
Founder & CEO, O'Gliss Park
AWAKEN THE POWER OF MANAKAI
Manakai evokes the power of the ocean: a mysterious marine force that awakens and draws visitors into a lush, island-inspired aquatic universe. The story begins long before boarding.
Landscapes, queue, station, vehicles, and water effects will form one coherent themed experience. Water plays an essential role throughout the journey, building towards a spectacular splash finale.
HIGH-QUALITY DESIGN & ENGINEERING
Manakai is built around the Spinfinity Coaster product, combining a custom-designed track with controlled vehicle rotation and integrated water effects. The attraction features more than 465 metres of track, reaches 19 metres in height and speeds of up to 65 km/h, with a capacity of approximately 1,000 riders per hour.
Engineered with reliability and safety in mind, Spinfinity is designed to minimize operational and maintenance demands while ensuring high capacity.
