Adventure parks pose unique safety, security and communications challenges, encompassing a wide range of park types, including water parks, theme parks, aquariums, safari attractions and even rope courses. They routinely handle vast numbers of visitors, all of whom have their own distinct needs.
In order to continually deliver a superior visitor experience and keep your attraction on the map for all the right reasons, instant, reliable communication is essential. The solution is the portable or hand held two way radio.

Two way radios, often referred to as walkie talkies, are handheld communication devices that allow their users to transmit and receive voice messages in real time, using private radio frequency bands. Because they do not rely on mobile phone networks, there are:
They will therefore continue to work effectively even in built up areas and in locations with lots of background noise and data traffic.
There is a huge variety of two way radios now available, ranging from simple analogue models through to sophisticated models that can encrypt conversations, cancel background noise, track locations via GPS and even make group calls. All of this choice means that there is definitely a suitable radio communications solution for your adventure park.
The main benefits of two way radios are increased security, safety and communications.
Instant Communications
In an environment such as a theme park 2 way radios really come into their own. These communication devices allow staff members to resolve visitor issues, reunite lost children, deal with safety issues and bolster security at the touch of a button. Because they are not reliant on network availability and there is no need to dial a number, they enable staff to communicate instantly.
Rugged and Reliable
Particularly useful in damp environments such as aquariums and water parks, adventure park two way radios are available as ruggedised models, boasting exceptional waterproof, shockproof and dustproof casings which protect them against splashes, drops and damage. Choosing a ruggedised walkie talkie is a wise move in an adventure park where minor incidents could result in a communication device being dropped or soaked.
The best theme park 2 way radios are rugged devices that operate on Ultra High Frequency (UHF) because these will work equally well both indoors and out. The radio must have a strong enough signal to penetrate walls and keep all of your staff within communication range, so a minimum output power of 4 watts is recommended to satisfy the demands of this challenging type of environment.
Many adventure park walkie talkies have features that enhance their usability, including GPS location tracking and emergency call buttons, which can discreetly alert all users to the specific location of a security or safety breach. This allows swift action to be taken, an emergency response to be activated, and the situation to be contained, often without the park’s visitors even being aware that an incident has occurred.
The vast majority of adventure parks are large, sprawling sites with a mix of open space and high rise structures. They are typically very busy with high visitor footfall, particularly during peak season. Because of this, there is often a significant level of background noise, which can make team communications more challenging. To overcome these challenges, you need to select suitable walkie talkies with background noise cancelling features, an appropriate range and excellent signal strength.
Many adventure parks have water features, including splash rides, lakes and moats. Because of the risk of accidental water immersion, fully waterproof two way radios are recommended for team members working in these environments. These hand held units usually feature ruggedised casings to protect them against drops and bangs. These types of radios are also suitable for aqua parks, splash pads and aquariums where staff will be regularly exposed to wet conditions and where the risks to the public need to be strictly managed.
Of course, not all adventure parks are noisy and boisterous environments. Many adventure parks have quiet areas, such as museums and sensory spaces in which loud voices or background crackle emanating from a walkie talkie would be highly distracting for visitors and could risk spoiling their experience. For areas such as this, you can select amusement park walkie talkies with a whisper mode. This mode effectively cancels background noise and allows staff to communicate quietly with each other, minimising disturbance for your visitors and preserving the integrity of your quiet spaces. Some walkie talkies can even connect wirelessly to an earpiece, further enhancing your team’s ability to engage in discreet communications in a way that does not compromise visitor satisfaction.
