Comprehensive
Cancer Centers of Nevada (CCCN) has teamed up with Wet‘n’Wild Las Vegas for a
community-focused partnership that encourages park guests to keep skin safety
top-of-mind.
The
components of this “first of its kind” partnership include a colorful sunscreen
kiosk upon entrance to Wet'n'Wild, offering complimentary SPF 30 sunscreen to
visitors for the remainder of the park’s operating season. Additionally, the
kiosk is adorned with skin safety tips for guests to keep in mind not only
during their visit to the park, but in their daily lives. Park-wide audio
messages also will play periodically throughout the day, reminding guests to
apply sunscreen and offering other proactive tips. Two additional kiosks,
located at the entrance to Red Rock Bay wave pool and Splash Island, will be
installed in the coming weeks.
The
free sunscreen is a paraben-free, oxybenzone-free and waterproof blend. The
broad-spectrum sunscreen fully protects skin against potentially harmful UV-A
and UV-B rays, when applied and reapplied appropriately. The sunscreen kiosk
and additional elements comprising the partnership were designed with all ages
in mind and to urge park visitors to stay proactive with skin protection.
“Many
negative skin conditions are fully avoidable with a hands-on approach and
preventative measures,” said James Kilber, executive director of CCCN.
"This partnership is ideal as it promotes fun in the sun, but also
encourages safe behavior and tips on preventing skin damage. We hope that park
guests will take advantage of the awareness messaging and free sunscreen
throughout the remainder of the season."
Now,
Wet‘n’Wild guests who simply forgot their sunscreen, or need to conveniently
reapply without interrupting the fun, have cost-free options within the park.
“Our
partnership with Comprehensive Cancer Centers of Nevada to provide free
sunscreen and skin safety tips at the park is a great example of our mission to
provide a fun, safe and memorable experience for our guests throughout the
season,” said Takuya Ohki, general manager of Wet‘n’Wild Las Vegas.
About
Wet’n’Wild Las Vegas
One
of the world’s most iconic water park brands, Wet‘n’Wild Las Vegas opened for
its second season with expanded hours, a longer operating season, a new slide
that opened Memorial Day weekend and other improvements. It is Nevada’s premier
water park with more than 25 slides and attractions, and a place for both
thrill seekers and families. For the more daring, the multimillion dollar park
features the new Tornado, the world’s premier funnel slide that catapults
riders through a swirling 45-foot-wide funnel; Rattler, the first slide of its
kind in North America, and Constrictor, an extreme water slide featuring some
of the tightest turns. Families and those desiring a more relaxing experience
enjoy Splash Island, the interactive children’s area with kid friendly slides
and a giant dumping bucket; Colorado Cooler lazy river; and Red Rock Bay wave
pool. With great amenities including shaded areas, private cabanas and misting,
Wet‘n’Wild is ideally located off I-215, at Sunset Road and Ft. Apache Road.
The park is a partnership between Village Roadshow Theme Parks, the majority
owner and overseer of day-to-day operations, and Las Vegas investors through
SPB Partners, one of Nevada’s first private equity funds. For information,
