Ambitious waterpark mooted for Ukraine

The world's largest aluminium-domed waterpark will soon dominate the city skyline in Donetsk, Ukraine.

Scheduled to open in August 2011, the dome over the Royal Marine Aquapark - a joint venture between the city of Donetsk and a consortium of private sector investors - is being built by Canadian firm OpenAire.

The 26m high, 85m wide dome will replace developers' original plan to have a steel/polycarbonate structure with a fixed dome.

"The developers loved the idea of a retractable roof," said OpenAire president, Mark Albertine. "To them, it opened the park up to a whole new world of possibility."
