_koppen Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 The small park Super Aqua Club outside Montreal, Canada is installing a new ride for 2016. It's a Proslide RocketBlast combined with the Flying Saucer turns. There's only one other ride like this and it turned out to be award-winningly awesome. I'm really excited to see another one of these built and can't wait for the final result. There are no renderings or anything available, just a very limited number of construction photos: If you don't know what type of ride this is take a look at this: Source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoinItForTheFame Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 I don't get the point of all the "extra" fiberglass in these turns: I'm sure it provides some neat "visuals" but why can't they just do a lower edged turn instead of all the extra un-used slide??

It could most likely be done in a more regular way, but on the other hand they got a patent on the saucer turns, so there have to be something unique about them. I think the visual effect of the saucer is pretty awesome Two new great photos of this beast to be! Source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadianparkfan Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Great news that this is coming to Canada! I wonder why they went with the "master blaster" style uphill sections instead of the LIMs like on wildabeast though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLIPDUDE Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Leave it to proslide to make the sexiest looking waterslides on the planet. I mean, seriously, that is essentialy just a tight banked turn, that's all, and they're making it look so good and interesting and thrilling!

_koppen Posted June 9, 2016 Author Share Posted June 9, 2016 I am really surprised at how much these UFOs are leaning downwards. This one will probably be even more crazy than the one at Tenerife! Source I wonder why they went with the "master blaster" style uphill sections instead of the LIMs like on wildabeast though? It's not a blaster slide, it's a new tope of water driven coaster who is pretty much the water driven equivalent of the LIM driven ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElvisLuv Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Having just been to Aquatica San Antonio, this would be a perfect addition there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoinItForTheFame Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 While I may not get the strange turns, it sure does look amazing!! Love the colors they went with!! I wish more parks would install these!! They look like a lot of fun, and I am jealous of anyone who gets to ride this slide!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarmor Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Don't show this to SFFT lol . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiftThrill Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Don't show this to SFFT lol . . . On the contrary, I'm very interested to hear how the Saucer slides end up being. They look like really fun rides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.J. Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Ah, there's the second one. I knew ProSlide was building another one before Thunder Rapids but I forgot which one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCoasterKid211 Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 I actually really like the color scheme on this. Nice addition! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadianparkfan Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Looks great! Wonder why they didn't use the LSM launch like on wildabeast and other water coasters though. Always thought it was regarded as being better than the "master blaster" type slides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
