Legoland California has had a great response to the latest anchor water ride in its Land of Adventure area.
Prime Play was given the task of devising a highly-themed ride, which could accommodate 500 riders per hour and provide an up-to-date take on traditional slides.
The result was an enormous platform where riders line up six at a time to go down the lanes, either on magic carpet-themed mats or double-helix corkscrews.
"The challenge with this type of slide is to make a thrilling attraction for the rider, while keeping it a safe and controlled experience. We accomplished this by creating a brand new set of moulds which would safely guide the riders down the slide, while maintaining their lane and have them come to a safe stop by the end of
the ride," said Nathan Jones, director of sales for Prime Play.
