A new “fast-paced” water slide, inspired by a Latin American bird, has opened at the Zoomarine Algarve marine park in Portugal.

Called The Quetzal, the ProSlide-designed attraction has been described as the “ultimate thrill ride” and features two tracks that riders can race down side-by-side, as well as 178m (584ft) of twisting and turning slides.

“ProSlide is very proud of our second collaboration with Zoomarine. This ride will bring a completely new, innovative and shared family experience to Portugal that doesn’t exist anywhere on the peninsula,” said Aaron Wilson, Proslide’s VP of business development – Europe.

“We worked closely with the Zoomarine team to design a ride that would respect and complement the beautiful landscape and topography of the park, while also ensuring a fast paced ride to suit the high expectations of their visitors.”
