An attraction capable of incorporating user interactivity. The attraction utilizes a slide for supporting a rider, with a ride vehicle or without. The ride vehicle may support one or multiple riders that allows the riders to manipulate its position or other associated elements while on the attraction. Upon manipulating an element, a signal may be transmitted. This signal may aid in determining whether a rider has successfully manipulated the element, for example, at an appropriate time. Sensors along the attraction may also be configured to track the user and/or ride vehicle via determining vicinity of the user and/or ride vehicle at a known location. Various rewards and/or features may be enabled based upon successful manipulation and/or user position. The attraction may include one or more illuminating features. Statistics or other information may be determined, stored, and/or provided (e.g., using mobile applications and/or scoreboards) relating to user performance.

This waterslide system or assembly that may allow for easy expansion of waterslides and more particularly an assembly and method for fixing a waterslide to a planar surface, or ground. The assembly may include reinforced portions of the waterslide which include apertures are allow for piercing of the reinforced portions to create apertures. The system may include a first sheet of material and subsequent sheets of material that may be the same or separate materials. A plurality of anchors may pass through the reinforced portions including the first sheet and subsequent sheets and fix the sheet(s) to the planar surface. The reinforced portions may be fixed to the sheet(s) through adhesion, sewing, weaving, welding, or other means. The reinforced portions may further include a flap that may comprise the same material as the reinforced portion itself.

A system may include an inflatable assembly having a plurality of members. The system may also include a plurality of sensors disposed at a plurality of positions inside or around the inflatable assembly, such that the plurality of sensors may acquire data related to a shape of the inflatable assembly. The system also includes one or more valves, each configured to direct a fluid into a corresponding member of the plurality of members of the inflatable assembly. The system also includes a processor that adjusts positions of the one or more valves to cause the fluid to be directed into the corresponding member of the plurality of members of the inflatable assembly based on the data and a desired shape of the inflatable assembly.

The present invention relates to an amusement and leisure slide for attraction parks, hotels, business or shopping centers with various combinations of thrilling experiences. It is proposed an amusement attraction comprising a sliding section part of an amusement attraction configured to receive a sliding element having an initial speed, the sliding section being shaped to form a curve with at least an angle of 90 degree between an input and an output, the curved section having an internal and shorter wall and a external and longer wall, the section being further connected to at least one actuator adapted to move the sliding section with a lateral movement so that said lateral movement do work on the sliding element (9) in order to either increase it's speed or elevation or a combination of both.

A system for affecting motion of an amusement ride vehicle is disclosed. The system includes a channel and a plurality of fluid spray sources positioned to spray at least a primary fluid over the channel. For at least one of the fluid spray sources, the system is adapted to inject a secondary fluid into the primary fluid to modify at least one of a pressure and a velocity of the primary fluid. A corresponding method is also disclosed.
