An inflatable water slide having an air bubble blowing function, comprising a slide starting platform air sac body (11), a slope climbing air sac body (12), and a slide air sac body (13). Any or all of the slide start air sac body (11), the slope climbing air sac body (12), and the slide air sac body (13) are provided thereon with a bubble blowing apparatus (2). The bubble blowing apparatus (2) comprises an airduct cavity (21), a liquid storage compartment (22) used for storing a bubbling liquid, and a bubble discharging plate (23) provided with a bubble discharging opening. The bubble discharging plate (23) is provided at an outlet of the airduct cavity (21). The liquid storage compartment (22) is provided above the bubble discharging plate (23) and is provided with a liquid outlet connected to the bubble discharging plate (23). The airduct cavity (21) is in communication with cavities of the slide starting platform air sac body (11), the slope climbing air sac body (12), and the slide air sac body (13) provided corresponding to the bubble blowing apparatus (2).

A drag-inducing mat includes a main body configured to accommodate a rider. The main body includes a rider surface configured to face the rider and an opposing surface configured to face a slide surface. The drag-inducing mat also includes a sipe array defined within the opposing surface. The sipe array includes a plurality of sipes that extends from a first lateral edge of the main body to a second lateral edge of the main body to selectively induce friction between the main body and the slide surface based on force applied to the sipe array by the rider.

A water or other amusement attraction that includes an inflatable portion or material. A cavity of the attraction is located underneath an upper surface, the upper surface configured to support a flow of water and at least one rider thereon. A volume of water is configured to be disposed within the cavity, the upper surface floating upon the volume of water while connected to at least one side wall, floor, and/or nozzle structure. A pump and nozzle assembly, positioned outside of the cavity, communicates with the water within the cavity for flowing a portion of the water over the upper surface. A drainage portion, adjacent to the upper surface, drains the flowing water back into the cavity for recirculation. Support components, such as a plurality of beams or an inflatable grid structure help maintain stability for the attraction.
