There has never been, nor will there
ever be a more captivating ride in the waterpark industry than the
Human Pinball Water Ride.
Imagine a life-size, gigantic pinball machine, 75-feet wide by
200-feet long. The playing surface is a gently sloped surface, made
from a slick, flat fiberglass sheet. Water fills in a pool at the
top of the playing surface and spills over the weir and creates a
flowing sheet down the playing field until it spills into the bottom
pool. Entire families gather in their gigantic 8-foot raft in the
upper pool. When they are safely situated, the attendant guides them
over the weir and they begin their random journey. They bounce off
air cushioned obstacles that alter their direction. They approach
geysers that burst sprays of water upward from the playing surface.
They pass below dumping buckets and shower sprayers. There are even
flipper paddles that gracefully rotate and nudge them in another
direction. Bells and whistles whiz and whir, which really provide
lively excitement. With multiple families riding the ride at the
same time, gentle collisions between tubes enhances the adventure.
There is so much random excitement involved that there is no way you
can predict your journey.
But the fun is just beginning. What is extra-cool about the Human
Pinball Water Ride is that all of the bursting, blasting and bumping
that is occurring on the playing field is being controlled by the
spectators. Situated on nearby walkways or overhanging bridges are
giant push buttons, levers and devices that allow the spectators to
join in the fun. They actually control the flipper paddles that
cause the participants to get diverted. They wait anxiously for a
family to pass nearby their geyser so that they can time it right
and spray them with a surprising blast of water. They must have
patience and precision to overturn the bucket at the exact time to
drop the drenching gag onto their friends as they pass below. Launch
bombs from the side, deploy water bombs, spray, soak and splash the
throngs of participants that pass by.
One of the characteristics of the Human Pinball Water Ride is the
amount of people that it can accommodate. The upper pool is designed
to allow multiple families to get situated simultaneously, and
launch whenever they are ready. There is no need to wait for one
tube to reach a certain distance. In fact the ride is better when
multiple tubes can launch at the same time. Don’t forget there is up
to 5 people in a single tube, so there are dozens of people being
launched as fast as possible. Add to that the number of spectators
operating all of the perimeter interactives, and the throughput is
multiplied.
Use your imagination about an engaging theme and we can create it.
Just like the hundreds of pinball themes created over time, your
custom Human Pinball Water Ride can have your own signature too.
Interactivity, surprise, visual appeal, throughput, bumping,
state-of-the-art, and randomness, all packed into one attraction?
How can you lose?
