The design, construction, and operation of water park slides are closely aligned with the interests of park investors, managers, and visitors alike.
First and foremost, safety is paramount. As a specialised facility, a water park slide can only be operational after obtaining the necessary qualification certifications and passing rigorous inspections by national authorities.
Secondly, the sensory experience must be extraordinary, offering thrills that are not typically encountered in everyday life.
Thirdly, the amusement experience should be diverse, catering to the varied preferences of all visitors.
Lastly, amusement attractions should be progressive and innovative, with regular updates and upgrades.
Varieties of Water Park Slides
Large Horn Slide: Starting from the platform, you can soar into the enormous trumpet-shaped slide, akin to being swept up by a tornado, providing a sensation of weightlessness. The exhilarating descent feels like gliding through the wind, making it perfect for those who crave excitement and novelty upon entering the trumpet.
Skyscraper: Beginning from a great height, this slide rapidly descends nearly ten metres after navigating a high-speed spiral chute, diving to the lowest point before surging up a massive slope. It challenges the limits of gravity, diving again before safely returning to the pool. It’s a favourite among families seeking the thrilling joy of soaring skyward.
Rainbow Competition Slide: This classic water park slide features multiple parallel lanes, typically ranging from 3 to 10. Participants can slide using their bodies or a floating mat, racing simultaneously. The strong interactive element allows visitors to compete repeatedly, offering a unique experience of joy and excitement.
Giant Beast Bowl Slide: Also known as the whirlpool slide, visitors ride a raft from a platform over 10 metres high. After navigating a fully enclosed tube slide, they enter a massive bowl with a 15-metre diameter at high speed. Centrifugal force makes them feel as if they’re spinning in space, leading to an unforgettable slide experience, complete with constant screams.
Spiral Slide: One of the earliest and most popular slides, the spiral slide is a staple in nearly every water park, offering a classic amusement experience.
Sled Slide: This classic two-way slide is cost-effective, space-efficient, and offers a unique experience. Riders can slide directly with their bodies. The barrel slide is open, and upon entry, the outside appears as a black hole. Riders quickly descend into the pool, ideal for young thrill-seekers. The sled slide, with its upward-throwing end, propels riders 3-5 metres forward before they splash into the pool, providing a unique thrill for adventurous youth.
Space Disk Slide: From a height of 12 metres, visitors speed through a time tunnel over 10 metres long, suddenly entering a bowl with a several-metre diameter. The sensation of spinning sky and earth is overwhelming, and after numerous impacts, they plunge into a deep pool, offering an unforgettable adventure through time and space, perfect for those seeking a daring experience.
