DragonKhan Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Just check this out: http://freizeitparkweb.de/cgi-bin/dcf/dcboard.cgi?az=show_thread&om=264&forum=DCForumID74 Apparently Klarer, a renowed company for great waterslides, has finished the (safe) design of a Looping Waterslide... OMFG!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jive Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Would it really add anything to the experience? I doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electerik Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 ^ Well, thank you, Captain Sunshine. ^^ It's a nice find. Thanks for pointing it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingScooter Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Hell, I'd try it. You'd have to pull some g's for sure to keep you from flopping/stalling in the invert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonKhan Posted September 29, 2006 Author Share Posted September 29, 2006 Would it really add anything to the experience? I doubt it. Yeah... Why did they invent Loop in the first place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jive Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 OK, maybe it will add something. I just don't see how you keep every single person from stalling out. The chance of injury and then additional bad news for the industry seems awfully high with an attraction like this. Will I ride it? I would cetainly give it a shot.

Masked_Maverick Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Good luck to them on tyring the looping waterslide at least it looks like it will work out a lot better than the one that was at Action Park. As for me I would not try it but I would stand and watch people ride it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shockwave Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Surely there would have to be some kind of weight restriction for riders so no-one valleys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jive Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Would the weight restriction go in both directions? I know that my wife goes a lot slower down the slides than I do and I've always figured that it was due to her tinyness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verticalzero Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 I'll def try it, looks great, wonder which park will buy the design 1st.. Does that pav the way for inline twists and more camelbacks on a waterside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chavslayer Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 That looks scary, I would probably still ride it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snuggles Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 I'm still waiting for a looping log ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, smaller people are generally slower, BUT they will also need less force to go upwards. So basically a weight restriction would not make too much sense. Of course, someone that is too fat might get stuck though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that pav the way for inline twists and more camelbacks on a waterside. Probably not. Unless the tube was only semi-circle instead of a completly enclosed tube (like that would ever happen) it would be pretty hard or impossible to make it any different from straight track or an airtime hill. A Corkscrew on a waterslide is more plausible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonKhan Posted September 29, 2006 Author Share Posted September 29, 2006 I think he was kidding... I wanna see a heartline roll on a waterslide... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParkTrips Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 A log ride with OTSR??? it could take after Schwarzkopf and use lapbars... lol @ Traction Park Germany Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Honestly, I don't think this one looks quite right either. Looks too high and too fast, and you'd go slamming into that loop! No thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeow Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 ^Yes it does. I mean, If your kinda tall or just 6', it seems like it would hurt your back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonKhan Posted September 29, 2006 Author Share Posted September 29, 2006 It's Klarer, besides ProSlide the best manufacturer when it comes to waterslides IMHO. It's to waterslides what Intamin is to coasters, seriously, I trust them on that one! they've made some great designs! http://www.klarer.com/home_e.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry_Gumball Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Is it just me or does that slide look like it's uncovered on the drop, and through the loop? I know the rest looks enclosed. That slide's proportions do look kinda off though; stretched out loop and ultra steep drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking86 Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 ^^Ive never been a big fan of waterslides, usually because I dont feel quite safe on them, but damn that High-Fly slide looks awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkStitch626 Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 The original looping waterslide had to have a trap door at the bottom incase someone got stuck,added to that it was said to give bad "Whiplash". It looks cool though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreativeForce Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Not to burst anyone's bubble, but if (and that's a big IF) one of these were ever to be actually built, do you really think it would be in the US? No way, never happen. People are to stupid and too litigeous here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
