Splashing in Color: Watiki Waterpark Lighting by Sportsbeams
WaTiki® Indoor Waterpark in Rapid City, South Dakota, is already a vibrant oasis—now it’s even more dazzling thanks to Sportsbeams. In 2022, we transformed the park’s ambiance using our Chromabeams™ LED 350 fixtures (predecessors to the Chromabeams Orbit series), elevating the atmosphere with deep, richly saturated color lighting.
With over 30,000 square feet of indoor water fun—slides, lazy rivers, and family entertainment—the park’s retractable ceiling and glass walls flood the space with natural light by day. But once the sun sets, our Watiki Waterpark lighting truly takes the spotlight. The customizable lighting system allows each fixture to be individually controlled for color, pattern, and timing—creating animated, mood-enhancing scenes that perfectly sync with the resort’s fun-loving spirit (read more on the resort here).
The result? A world where palm trees, waterfalls, and water slides glow in electrifying hues, adding a thrilling layer of immersive entertainment to every ride and splash. Whether it’s a family gathering or a lively group event, our lighting ensures the fun shines as bright as the water itself.
