Looks like Cowabunga Bay is adding a water launch propulsion system to its racing slide to help people get over the uphill portion. I think this is a great idea as so many people get stuck on the uphill portion and have to either wiggle over the top or slide back down. This creates major delays as you have to wait for all the lanes to clear before another set of riders can go down. I personally don't have any trouble getting over the hump, but it's pretty much impossible if you weigh less than 100 pounds, so kids are always getting stuck. I can't wait to see this new water launch system in action!

 

In other news, the big blue wave slide is still down and the employees weren't sure when it was going to open back up. It was in operation all last season, so I'm not sure what is going on with it. Maybe Shane can shed a little light on the issue?

As if the mat racer slides didn't punch you in the junk hard enough already, now riders get an opportunity to never produce children courtesy of the uphill master blaster section!!!

 

Just kidding, sounds pretty interesting and I'd love to hear some more details. The slide type possibilities with an uphill section for a mat racer are kind of exciting really.

Wow...that new slide sounds (and looks) awesome, Shane!

 

While I don't have any plans on going to Vegas again any time in the near future, if and when we do go, your water park will be first on our list of places to visit.
