Problems solved by technology

One problem with the water slide described in US Patent No. 7854662B2 is that due to the use of loops, evacuation platforms are required at the bottom of the loop as well as at the top
Additionally, confining passengers to such loops may reduce the thrill of riding the facility

Embodiment Construction

[0056] Figures 1A to 1D A first embodiment of a slide component 102 of a waterslide 100 is shown coupled to an entry chute 104 and an exit chute 106 of the waterslide 100 . Both the entry chute 104 and the exit chute 106 are shown as having closed circular cross-sections, but it should be understood that embodiments of the slide member 102 can also be combined with other known water slide chutes (e.g., having open semicircular cross-sections). chute and / or other known entry and exit features such as funnels and vertical descents).

[0057] Slide member 102 is adapted to carry passengers or rides gliding thereon. In some embodiments, slide member 102 may be adapted to simultaneously carry one or more passengers and / or one or more rides gliding thereon.

[0058] Although entry chute 104 and exit chute 106 are shown as having a certain length, it should be understood that entry chute 104 and exit chute 106 may extend for a shorter or longer distance than the slides shown and / or...

Abstract

The present invention provides a slide component for an amusement ride suitable for carrying passengers or rides sliding thereon, and a water slide including the slide component. The slide member has a slide-in portion allowing entry of the passenger or the ride, a slide-out portion allowing exit of the passenger or the ride, and a sliding surface communicating with the slide-in portion and the slide-out portion. The gliding surface may comprise a substantially sector-shaped surface of a closed curve and / or may be substantially planar. The slide member may also include an outer lip and be configured such that the passenger or the ride, at least partially propelled by gravity, travels along the sliding surface in an arc at least partially bounded by the outer lip. sliding from the slide-in portion to the slide-out portion in a path. The gliding surface may be oriented such that the height of the passenger or the ride increases and then decreases along an arcuate path.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to amusement rides, and more particularly to water slide rides and portions thereof. Background technique [0002] The amusement park industry is highly competitive and constantly evolving. Park operators strive to offer new, innovative rides that provide exciting and thrilling experiences for visitors. [0003] Some slide-based rides are known. For example, in a conventional water slide, riders enter a ride at an elevated level and travel to an end destination at a lower elevation by sliding along a chute or flume. In order to facilitate sliding, various parts of the water slide can be lubricated with a large amount of water. [0004] In some water slides, riders may sit or lie on a ride vehicle that is designed to come into contact with the ride surface. In some water slides, riders slide along the ride without a vehicle and their body makes contact with the ride surface. [0005] US Patent No. 7,854,662 B...
