Tubby Tunnel: dinosaurs invade the Tubby Slopes

There is now a place where visitors can ride our snow tubes and challenge the fury of dinosaurs. This place is called TUBBY TUNNEL.

TUBBY TUNNEL, the immersive Jurassic tunnel applied to the TUBBY slope, makes the snow tube ride unforgettable. TUBBY TUNNEL transports visitors to the heart of the Jurassic forest with evocative images and themed lights, making the experience highly engaging.

Through a 200-million-year time journey, TUBBY TUNNEL welcomes you to the land of dinosaurs. Once you enter the tunnel aboard the snow tubes, you'll be catapulted into the Jurassic world with scenarios and settings of prehistoric dinosaurs offering a unique adventure.

An exhilarating and frightening journey that takes adults and children back in time for a few seconds to when the earth was populated by gigantic animals extinct millennia ago.

The Jurassic theme is standard, but with the custom version, we can accommodate your proposals for other themes.

TUBBY TUNNEL

Tubby Tunnel, 12 meters long, features Jurassic Park-style graphics inside and out, with UV LED lights highlighting the fluorescent graphics inside the tunnel. The carefully hidden placement makes the small lights invisible to visitors.

The Tunnel is mounted directly on the TUBBY slope and can be applied to both new and older generation Neveplast slopes.

The "journey" through the tunnel aboard the SNOW TUBES lasts a few seconds but offers an unforgettable experience.

TUBBY TUNNEL CUSTOM

Tubby Tunnel CUSTOM is the most advanced version of the TUBBY TUNNEL. In addition to all the features of the base version, it meets the client's need to fully customize the tunnel in terms of design and sound effects.

The external and internal graphics of the TUBBY TUNNEL CUSTOM are entirely customizable according to the client's imagination and goals.

To make the CUSTOM TUNNEL even more captivating, visitors are accompanied by customizable sound effects and music according to the chosen theme for the TUNNEL.

The system is equipped with an effects management control unit that activates automatically, thanks to entrance sensors, during the descent.

In the summer of 2020, we installed a prototype Tubby Tunnel on one of the Tubby slopes in Selvino, a well-known ski resort in the province of Bergamo, also popular in summer. Selvino features a Neveplast ski slope that was completely renovated in recent months, and three Tubby slopes of varying lengths and configurations, also recently updated.

Marco Ghilardi, President of Selvino Sport: "The Tubby Tunnel was installed in July 2020 on one of our straight Tubby slopes and remained until the summer park closed. It was a real success in many ways. Children, especially, but also adults enjoyed this new feature, which we managers welcomed with great enthusiasm. We needed something new and fresh to expand and refresh the tubing offer.

We were among the first, at least in Italy, to believe in and invest in Neveplast Tubby as a summer attraction to offer family-friendly fun. Many families choose and return to Selvino because they can let their children slide on our slopes, and year after year, it never goes out of style.

Although I consider Tubby an evergreen fun activity, the TUNNEL adds that extra bit of adrenaline and mystery to the descent, making it even more exciting. Children ride the tube and, at a certain point in the descent, enter the tunnel and are catapulted into the Jurassic Park cave.

A scenic, quick, and immersive passage transforms the tubing descent into an adventure to repeat as much as possible. Never before have I seen parents struggle to take their children home once the time for Tubby was up, and this is the most valid measure of whether an attraction works."
