Successful water park owners know that choosing the right anchor attractions plays a critical role in differentiating their park. These high-impact rides ensure parks stand out in a crowded market, attracting guests and driving repeat visits.
But creating a truly iconic ride is not just about putting a big water slide in the park. By definition, your park’s signature attractions must deliver:
In 2014, ProSlide Technology continued to meet the worldwide demand for ever bigger, more impactful anchor attractions.
Hybrid Rides
In 2008, ProSlide invented an entirely new category of iconic attractions by combining two or more stand-alone rides into a single water slide. In 2014, ProSlide has grown their offering by creating a number of unique, pioneering hybrid combinations:
LIM Water Coasters
Another ProSlide invention: water coasters that use advanced linear induction motors (LIMs) to power boats up steeper hills faster. Two new ProSlide HydroMAGNETIC ROCKET coasters were installed in China in 2014 – at Foshan Nanhai Bay & Grand Sight parks.
This patented water ride technology has taken the industry by storm, winning not only IAAPA’s most prestigious Industry Impact Award but sweeping all other award categories as well. ProSlide’s HydroMAGNETIC coasters have picked up 15 first place awards since 2007.
ProSlide TORNADO
When it comes to choosing the right signature attractions, another critical factor to consider is how well they will hold their entertainment value. One example is the ProSlide TORNADO, winner of IAAPA’s 2003 Industry Impact Award and many Best Ride Awards.
Demand for this iconic ride pioneer is still strong more than 10 years later! ProSlide has installed over 20 new TORNADOs in 2014 alone, including at Center Parcs Woburn Forest, Kentucky Kingdom, Wet’n’Wild Las Vegas and more. • • •
