The investment cost more than HUF 23 billion (EUR 60.6 million). Such a massive investment in a spa has never been made in Hungary before. The cost of the project is especially high due to the construction of a dam. The spa is located near the rivers Moson-Danube and Rába. In previous years, the area was flooded almost completely by the rivers during heavy rainfalls.

The theme of the water park will be “Hungaricum”. Thus, in line with the theme, the main attraction will be a huge soda siphon-shaped water slide tower. Soda water is a well-known Hungaricum. Soda water is considered a Hungaricum. In Hungary, Ányos Jedlik was the first to produce water infused with carbon dioxide.

7-sea star water theme park

According to the spa’s website, the new spa complex in Győr will be the first in the world to receive a 7-sea star rating. The concept behind this new quality assurance system is that each star represents a group of services. Services will include, for example, a variety of therapeutic treatments, several restaurants and bars, as well as a children’s play house and water play area.
