That's kinda awkward that you'd like to live in a place called Cocklick End or Cockup Bottom...

Can't use water jets for directional control. They do not guarantee that the rider will make it onto the cleared slide, not to mention the amount of water required would rip your face off.


Capacity is a non issue. You can dispatch right after the switch is locked. Generally about 200 RPH with single tubes and 375 with double tunes, which is high for a long water slide.

The entire point of this ride is to not give the same experience twice, it is designed to be used with thematic elements to enhance the experience. There would not be multiple lines, the computer controls the system and it is completely random.

This concept is for indoor water parks with little to no vertical space left. With one starting tower, you do not modify a large section of a roof structure to accommodate, only enough to for a spiral staircase, and the starter platform. The different slides can end up in different places, or in the same landing pool it doesn't matter.

That is the advantage.

now that i get the indoor park idea, it does make more sense. i also thought it would be really cool for a slide that is underground. if the person cant see which slide they will go down, it will really add a sense of fear to the slide.

Booby Dingle is pretty stellar I don't think anyone will top that.

^ it's odd that you would say that, as people from where I live are referred to as Dingles
