Abstract: A water attraction having one or more inflatable areas and/or features for reducing turbulence of water flow over a ride surface is disclosed. The water attraction includes a ride surface, a water delivery section, and a recovery section. The water delivery section provides water flow on the ride surface. The ride surface may include the assembly of multiple segments and may be fully or partially inflatable. The water delivery section may include one or more water delivery mechanisms, for example, nozzles. A water delivery mechanism may deliver a water flow different from the water flows from other water delivery mechanisms.

Abstract: A system may include an inflatable assembly having a plurality of members. The system may also include a plurality of sensors disposed at a plurality of positions inside or around the inflatable assembly, such that the plurality of sensors may acquire data related to a shape of the inflatable assembly. The system also includes one or more valves, each configured to direct a fluid into a corresponding member of the plurality of members of the inflatable assembly. The system also includes a processor that adjusts positions of the one or more valves to cause the fluid to be directed into the corresponding member of the plurality of members of the inflatable assembly based on the data and a desired shape of the inflatable assembly.

Abstract: A water ride system configured to provide passengers of boats new and exciting experiences via enhanced storytelling opportunities. The water ride system is designed to allow ride designers to provide 2-dimensional guiding of the boat traveling in a flume in a direction of travel (DOT) coinciding with the direction of water flowing in the flume. The water ride system uses a combination of a guideway (or track) within the flume and a new guide bogie. The guide bogie has a square body and four corner-mounted guide wheels, and the bogie is mounted on the bottom of the boat so as to ride within the guideway to provide guided boats with various headings. Specifically, the boats can be oriented in many different directions rather than having a single fixed orientation, such as with a front of the boat facing in the DOT, as was the case with traditional water rides.

Abstract: An assembly slide defined with a front and a back, and two sides of the front provided with a retaining wall. The assembly slide comprises at least two sub-units that are sequentially lapped with each other and a water supply member. Each of the two sub-units comprises two ends, and at least one lapping portion disposed on one of the two ends, a lapped gap is formed after the two sub-units are lapped with each other by two lapping portions. The water supply member comprises a water outlet end exposed on the front and disposed adjacent to the lapped gap, and a water inlet end disposed on the back and connected to a water supply pipe.

Abstract: This waterslide system or assembly that may allow for easy expansion of waterslides and more particularly an assembly and method for fixing a waterslide to a planar surface, or ground. The assembly may include reinforced portions of the waterslide which include apertures are allow for piercing of the reinforced portions to create apertures. The system may include a first sheet of material and subsequent sheets of material that may be the same or separate materials. A plurality of anchors may pass through the reinforced portions including the first sheet and subsequent sheets and fix the sheet(s) to the planar surface. The reinforced portions may be fixed to the sheet(s) through adhesion, sewing, weaving, welding, or other means. The reinforced portions may further include a flap that may comprise the same material as the reinforced portion itself.
