VegasCoaster Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 It won't be stable enough unless you don't accelerate them that quickly. If its a nice gradual increase in acceleration it shouldn't be a problem, but that would require some nifty programming and some sensors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRWP2005 Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 I've actually known about the LIM waterslides for awhile now. But I can't wait to see this LIM slide in action, it sounds really neat. The pitures I've seen of it so far, this thing looks really technological, with all kinds of wiring going on. According to ProSlide at WWA, all they said is that this thing goes uphill "fast" when compared to other uphill water rides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nannerdw Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 This site says that there are only 18 slides. I remember seeing a picture a really long time ago that showed an aerial view of a tower that had 50 slides on it. The slides all wound around each other in the shape of an octagon, and the entrance to each one was on one big platform in the middle. I tried to look for that picture again, but I could not find it anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cygnusx1 Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 There are at least 11 slides at the top level of that tower alone, plus more below that. I finally found Nagashima Spa Land on Google Earth (!) and counted them. Â If you have Google Earth, you can check it out for yourself. The coordinates of the tower are 35 degrees 1 minute 49 seconds North and 136 degrees 43 minutes 43 seconds East. (It can be pretty hard to find Nagashima Spa Land if you're like me and haven't been to Japan before. I found another city in the prefecture called Nagashima and spent about 20 minutes looking around in that, only to find out that it's in another city on the other side of the Mie prefecture!) Â It looks like there are probably a lot of other slides in the tower that start off further down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twisterbret Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 There are 2 Weird NJ issues that have lots of great stories about Action Park and the Cannonball Loop. I saw this slide with my very own eyes. It was real. My first visit to Traction ...I mean Action Park, someone died on my very first ride on my very first visit. It was a Kayak ride 2 people were electrocuted while I was on it. The best slide I was ever on was at Action Park. It's called the Colorado River. It was one of the first "family" type slides but with a ground hugging course that was extememly agressive. Your boat will go vertical and the people at the top would land on the people on the bottom. It was more like 10 min mosh pit in a boat. I believe it still runs at Mount Creek (Name Change). I'm not sure if they changed the layout or the safety of it. Â Â Â I second Bomb Bay at Wet n Wild, I remember the attendant telling me to jump up and he would press the button to open the floor, definitely cool!!I've seen that looping waterslide on other forums and people just can't believe it's real, but it definitely appears there was a crack out there who actually built this, I would love to hear from someone who rode this what it felt like, it looks like a slide you would see in a Simpsons go to the waterpark episode.

odie Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 I like these 5 slides at Wild Waves (WA) Â Blue and black are hydro slides. Black and white are speed slides. Thanks RCDB for the picture! Thanks TPR for the picture! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewsPlusNotes Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Night Slider at Kings Dominion is really great fun, but it hurt my bum for 2 days after I rode it. Â It's the steep black slide that just drops. Â Mike When you hit the water at the end you bounce over it at first, hence, sore bum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goliath513 Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Dude, these water slides are amazing! My favorite water park is Hyland Hills Waterworld in Denver, CO. I highly recommend everyone go there. All of their slides are great. The freefall speed slides are amazing, and their bowl slides are too. But their all time best is the underground, heavily themed "Voyage to the Center of the Earth" - truly an amazing experience! They also have an underground Egyptian river run, but it's not as fun as VttCotE. I'm going there in a week from today!!!! Rumor has it they are adding yet another water slide this year, but I have yet to confirm that. And to think I used to be afraid of large water slides. Now I can't get enough of them!

thunder001 Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Thought I might post some updated pictures of some of the rides in the two main Australian Water Parks. The Rip: http://www.roller-coaster.com.au/gallery.php?gid=170 Â The Temple of Huey: http://www.roller-coaster.com.au/gallery.php?gid=169 There have been reports of more construction happening around this tower of late, with plenty of area to expand into. So needless to say we are hoping for something mind blowing. Â Super Tubes HydroCoaster..The LIM version: http://www.roller-coaster.com.au/gallery.php?gid=168 Â The Green Room: http://www.roller-coaster.com.au/gallery.php?gid=163 I know that this can get a bit freaky when you are only inches from touching the water pipe on the first run through...have pics somewhere of that. Â The Nick kids area seems to be a standard set up, or at least from what I am told : http://www.roller-coaster.com.au/gallery.php?gid=167 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CdnbMatt Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 I can't remember the name of the park but if you are ever in Nuevo Vallarta in Puerto Vallarta Mexico, there is only one water park there and it is one of the best I have been to. They have a ton of slides and it's Mexico so the operators don't give a darn and let like 15 people go down at once. It's wild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
