These slides are a great complement in a water park. Usually every water park has a kids area with some slides for children, they also have some family slides like traditional body slides and inner tube slides. But there are always members that like thrilling rides to satisfy their need for adrenaline. What they need are extreme slides.
Kamikaze
Open high-speed body slide that gives the user the feeling to be flying. It can be from 100 feet long to 330 feet long. The platform height varies from 23 feet to 50 feet high.
It is a complementary slide because it is only used by those users who like speed rides and the users flow is low.
Characteristics:
Users ages/height: Form 12 to 40 years old or from 5' and higher
Speed: High
Gradient: 10% to 60%
Arrival: Only run out recommended. Arriving to a splash pool is not suggested because it could be a radical speed change
Water requirements: 190 gallons per minute
Design: In a straight line. This slide is a high speed ride, so the only design proposed is in a straight line
Colors: We use solid colors. We recommend to use 2 colors for the water slide, one color for the inside (the sliding area) and a different color for the outside. We consider the minerals in water for the inside color and we use long lasting colors in the outside
Combination: This slide can be combined at the beginning with an enclosed dark body slide Aquatubo 32" to create a surprising come out when the high speed section starts
Stuka

Torbellino Bowl
This is one of the most showy attraction in a water park. this slide has 3 phases:
1. Acceleration. It is generated through a high speed fall inside an enclosed body slide. The standard length is 75 feet but we can vary the length to make a longer more trilling slide up to 300 feet long. This phase is to boost the user into the bowl.
2. Bowl. In this phase the user arrives with a high speed to a 30' diameter bowl. It turns around the bowl for 2 to 3 times and starts to loose speed. Then it turns 2 or 3 more times approaching to the center of the bowl and loosing almost all speed.
3. Fall. The user comes out of the bowl into a 5' free fall to the pool. This pool is a 6' deep pool which increases the users surprise and excitement.
This is a very spectacular attraction and it helps a lot for marketing and advertising purposes, but it is also a complementary attraction because of its very low users flow. But a large crowd is commonly entertained watching the users sliding, turning and falling through the ride.

Users ages/height: Form 12 to 40 years old or from 5' and higher
Speed: Very High
Arrival: 6' deep small round pool

Aquaracer Multilane
