This slide's design creates a new perspective by aiming to satisfy guests' evolving interests while remaining within safety norms. Its racing concept aligns riders in separate lanes that plunge guests into a bowl where centrifugal force propels them out and up a wide, vertical slope. Rafts rush toward the top before sliding backward in a reverse ride. "Water splash" sensors track rafts and display results such as high points reached and biggest splash. The slide is manufactured using RTM (Resin Transfer Molding) for benefits such as better component alignment and smooth, shiny finishes.
