The recent IAAPA amusements show in Florida, US, was a platform for shouting about recent global developments for Lithuania-based UNO Parks.

The designers and installers of treetop climbing adventure parks and also indoor playgrounds were keen to share some recent developments and news of global expansion.

Deputy CEO, Virginias Virbickas, said: “We’re pleased with the traffic at the show, we’ve made plenty of contacts. So far, so good.” The main focus for the company is its outdoor treetop climbing equipment and the design of courses, which makes up around 70 per cent of the business.

A recent installation that was signed off and handed over at the show was a project in Qatar. One of its bigger projects, the attraction comprised 12m poles connected with rope courses and more than 30 obstacles. Designed and colour-schemed in sync with the local culture and surroundings, it also features a climbing wall and zip lines that speed riders over a small lake.

The installation was somewhat uncharted territory for UNO Parks as the weather and landscape conditions were a big challenge, however it was completed ahead of schedule in just over two-and-a-half weeks.

The Middle East growth will continue with an indoor project in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, due to commence in December and that will include nets, trampolines and edutainment elements.
