For those of you who aren't on the ProSlide mailing list, this is the new ProSlide KrakenRACER:

Doesn't it look similar to this?

It has been less than a year and Rapids waterpark has already picked up one.

 

As stated above, the official name is the KrakenRACER to avoid any confusion.

I will answer any questions to the best of my ability.

That looks really cool!

I really like the braided appearance. Very attractive.

[ECZenith]

Very clever concept, SFNE you still need a racer slide...

Looks neat. But I'm confused, do they have a 14 year old working as their PR guy? Or was that a copy/paste from an email reply to the 14 year old member?

Sort of like those corkscrew body slides - they look great, but kick your [censored] on the way down.

Forward facing = Winning!

As posted above I am on the ProSlide mailing list, they send me updates on new rides, tech, ect. to my Email account.

^Not to steal your thunder, but doesn't that mean that anyone can get these updates? They aren't just sending you the updates, they are sending them to everyone on the mailing list.

[crazywolf88]

^ That's correct, everyone on the mailing list gets this update. I just put it to TPR because it is news, like the MEGAtubes from whitewater. Sorry if I caused any confussion.

[Gerstlauer1]

KrakenRACER looks cool!

 

I gotta ask you, how do you join the mailing list? One of the "must fill out" fields in the mailing list registration form says "company name" what did you do?

[chaos]

That's awesome. I can totally picture some park like Aquatica getting something like that. But with clear tubes, you know, so you'd be dueling with everyone else.

[matteocrepaldi]

Thanks for sharing. I didn't know about the Proslide mailing list.

[Vigil]

Which is why he clearly said "for those of you not on the mailing list."

[wesley815]

Thanks for posting the pics

 

Looks like a fun ride, be interesting to try that "half corkscrew" design (and facing forward!)

[crazywolf88]

This time ProSlide has gone for something WhiteWater has done for so many years.

Introducing the ProSlide TornadoWAVE!

 

 

Again I will answer questions to the best of my ability as I am just a reciever of the mail, NOT an official member of ProSlide.

LOVE it. Looks so much cooler than Boomerangos. Where is that one located?

[6flagsbrad]

^ I believe it was installed in China.

[SharkTums]

Love the look of that!!!

[doublestufforeo]

I love the look of the drop it looks like it'd be pretty awesome to ride it!

[DBJ]

That is quite cool looking!

[DJeXeL]

 

Lawsuit waiting to happen. Looks fun nonetheless

[CP_RULES]

^How is it any different than one of these with a slide attached to the beginning? No law suits here, yet.

[DJeXeL]

^That you're aware of.....

Technically waterparks are a liability in general but it does look fun. I'd still ride it.....

[dragonskeep]

I need to get back in the water park scene. There are some really cool slides that have come out in the past 10 years or so.
