Spike Waterfight is the latest concept from Maurer Rides / Maurer Rides |
|
Rollercoaster and ride designer and manufacturer Maurer Rides has announced its latest concept, the Spike Waterfight, which allows spectators and rollercoaster riders to soak one another with water cannons.
Spectators will aim at riders from multi-platforms, while pilots can shoot back from two water cannons built into the vehicles on the right and left, together with their water tanks.
The tightly curved rollercoaster layout rises up out of the water offering riders great views – which they could enjoy if they weren’t being soaked by ‘troublemakers’ wielding water cannons.
For those not keen on coasters, a waterslide can be connected to the platform entrance, and waterpark operators can decide the number of platforms they connect to and which type of waterslide: from freefall to family slides. The 30m-high rollercoaster tower is scalable and can be scaled to any height.
The ride also allows pilots to control their own speed, meaning that it can be ridden as a high octane or more laid back family-style attraction.

Small Footprint, Big Significance: Studio City Water Park |
|
Long known for its fancy casinos, Macau realized within the past decade that it must
diversify its tourism scene to attract new crowds. With the ambition of becoming the
leisure hub of China’s 72-million strong Greater Bay Area, the city began adding shows,
attractions, and family-friendly hotels. But the offering that truly stands out with fun
for everyone is Studio City Water Park – Macau’s first stand-alone water park, with all
the water slides and aquatic play structures supplied by WhiteWater. |
