crazywolf88 Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 (edited) For those of you who aren't on the ProSlide mailing list, this is the new ProSlide KrakenRACER: (Photo courtesy of Prosilde) Doesn't it look similar to this? (Photo courtesy of TPR(IAAPA)) 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. Edited August 26, 2011 by SharkTums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MayTheGForceBeWithYou Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 That looks really cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cal1br3tto Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 I really like the braided appearance. Very attractive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECZenith Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Very clever concept, SFNE you still need a racer slide... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandallDuell Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 As stated above, the official name is the KrakenRACER to avoid any confusion. I will answer any questions to the best of my ability. 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?

A.J. Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 I really like the braided appearance. Sort of like those corkscrew body slides - they look great, but kick your [censored] on the way down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jedimaster1227 Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 ^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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazywolf88 Posted June 12, 2011 Author Share Posted June 12, 2011 ^ 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerstlauer1 Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaos Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wesley815 Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Thanks for posting the pics Looks like a fun ride, be interesting to try that "half corkscrew" design (and facing forward!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazywolf88 Posted August 26, 2011 Author Share Posted August 26, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CP_RULES Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 ^How is it any different than one of these with a slide attached to the beginning? No law suits here, yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJeXeL Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 ^That you're aware of..... Technically waterparks are a liability in general but it does look fun. I'd still ride it..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonskeep Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
