In the movie “Despicable Me,” the main characters go to an amusement park. In typical Universal Studios fashion, they wanted to introduce a real-life version of this within the amusement park; they called it “Super Silly Fun Land.”
Super Silly Fun Land is a water park/play area located in Universal Studios Hollywood, directly adjacent to the Minion ride. The attraction has a splash pad that highlights 80 separate water-play features, a dry-play area, and a ride called “Silly Swirl.” SCEG provided HVAC and plumbing engineering services for the attraction.
SCEG also designed the pool and fountain systems. These included a complex drainage and pre-filter system landing in a custom surge tank suspended on the top floor of a parking garage and a DDC controlled distribution system including high-rate sand filters, attraction pumps, CO2 delivery, UV sterilization, and solenoid valves to choreograph the various water features.
