Icon Tower

**The Icon Tower** is an massive 79.5 meter tall waterslide tower located at Qetaifan Island's Meryal waterpark, located in Qatar.

The tower is located within the park's "Rig 1938" section.

It has 12 different slides (8 attractions). The two slides at the top (Vertigo and Fractionator) currently hold the record of the world's tallest water slides at 250.4 feet.

Slides like the Boiler, Extruder, Cracker and the Reformer have an first half (1 slide), and then a 2nd half (another slide).

## The Slides:

### Vaporizer and Second Escape

Both slides are standard enclosed inner-tube slides that twist all the way down with drops and helixes. Both end with an big drop.

### Reformer

It will consist of 2 round-raft slides. The first one (first half) is an AquaSphere + Constrictor fusion, an ride that begins with an sphere element, followed by tight diameter-changing helixes. The second one (second half) would only consist of an giant Abyss funnel, followed by a long tunnel section into the end pool.

### The Boiler

It also consists of 2 round-raft slides. The first one (first half) is an Abyss + Rattler fusion. It consists of an massive, enclosed Abyss funnel, followed by an long enclosed part with helixes and turns, as well as an Rattler funnel. The second one (second half) would only consist of an family slide with 2 Rattler funnels, before ending into the end pool.

### Cracker

One of the long inner-tube slides in the park. It also consists of 2 slides. The first one (first half) would only be an long enclosed slide with drops, spirals and helixes. The second slide (second half) would be an Master Blaster watercoaster, with only one blaster section, apart from enclosed helixes.

### Extruder

Another inner-tube slide with 2 slides. The first half would be an long Constrictor slide, filled with tight diameter-changing helixes. It's 2nd half would be an Blasterango slide (Master Blaster + Boomerango). It is an long spiral tube slide with 2 Master Blaster sections, with an Boomerango finale.

### Vertigo and The Fractionator

These two are the tallest waterslides of the tower, the slides at the top. Vertigo would be an Flatline Loop trapdoor slide, while the Fractionator would be an AquaTube speed slide. Both slides twist all the way down the tower, with riders going into intense high speeds. Both slides conclude with helixes into the run-out pool. It will surprass Kilimanjaro's heigh by 260 feet.

## Early versions of the tower

### The Polin version

During concept arts, the tower was initially going to be built by Polin Waterparks. The slides at the top would be an Aquatube slide and an Looping Rocket slide, many of the slides would be Combo slides, consisting of Racing slides, Navigatours, Spheres, Space Boats, Mini Magicones and Space Shuttles. It later ended up being built by WhiteWater.

### The earlier WhiteWater West versions

In an early WWW version of the tower, the slides at the top would remain being an AquaTube and Flatline Loop slide, however, the rest were different. The blue raft slide would have an enclosed Abyss funnel and multiple Constrictor and Rattler elements. The green raft slide would only consist of an Rattler funnel that goes into an enclosed Abyss. The purple tube slide would consist of multiple AquaSphere elements. The magenta tube slide would consist of an long enclosed slide that goes into an Super Bowl element. The green tube slide would only be an Blasterango slide. There was also going to be an mini-tower with 3 body slides that twist around each other.

Another version of the tower would be similar to the final product, with the changes being the following:

The Boiler would be longer, and it would have an Constrictor element instead of the Rattler. The Reformer would have the Abyss element in the first half, as well as having an AquaSphere at the star. It's 2nd half would only be an normal Family Raft Ride. The Extruder's 1st half would also have an AquaSphere at the start. It's 2nd half was going to be much longer. Vertigo and Fraccionator's final helix would interwine each other.
