Australian Waterslides & Leisure Pty
Ltd has designed three Body Rides
for Tea Tree Gully Aquatic Centre
in Adelaide. Two of the rides are
800mm-diametre tube and open
Fast Straight Line Drop slides. The
other is a combination of 1,200mm
diameter tube and open Reversebanked
SupaJet slide.
On the straight line drop slides,
riders are plunged down a 9m (30ft)
drop at 45 degrees before landing
into runouts. The rides have a minimal
water delivery (20 to 30 litres
per second) to lubricate the rides,
making them faster as well as more environmentally friendly. The company
wrote its own flume calculation
software programme integrated with
AutoCAD to enable safe and exciting
configurations to be designed accurately
and utilising 3D modelling.
All rides can give a different experience
for the riders – in the case of
body rides, the ride experience can
differ due to the type of swimmers
the ride is carrying (giving a varied
co-efficient between ride surface and
the rider) also due to water volumes,
and rider weight. All rides are designed
so that the rides fall within the
safety parameters of all variables.

Long known for its fancy casinos, Macau realized within the past decade that it must

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. |
