In this respect, the water sliding of the invention starts with a starting part of the slide (11). Main water inlet (not shown in the figure) providing water to the slide that is used for sliding is located on the starting part of the slide (11).
- The riders go into the starting part of the slide (11). The riders sit on equipment such as preferably inflatable boat called boat or raft and start sliding on the water. The rider slides into the sliding from the turnstile (12) of decreasing slope and spiral from downward and along the sliding orbit.
- However, in an alternative embodiment of the invention, the sliding may not contain any spiral orbited turnstile (12), instead of the said spiral turnstile (12) can be in form of smooth road fully in slope decreasing downward. In another alternative embodiment of the invention, the sliding lanes (14.1, 14.2) can be adjacent side by side and also separated from a point and re-combine at another point.
- As also mentioned above, the sliding of the invention comprises two sliding lanes (14.1, 14,2) side by side. Each lane (14.1, 14.2) is designed in a manner allowing use of it with inflatable boats capable to carry two riders at the same time. And this means that totally four riders can slide in the sliding with two sliding lanes (14.1, 14.2) at the same time. In addition, although the said two sliding lanes (14.1, 14.2) contain turnstile areas (12) for allowing racing, they are of equal distance. Thus the riders will also be able to race while sliding on the slide.
- The turnstile (12) of the sliding can be made in the form of open type sliding (15.1) or close type sliding (15.2) or as shown in
figure 2 , two types in combination. - The riders continue to slide downward after passing the turnstiles (12). The riders are slowed down by counter flow nozzles (13) before reaching descending part (21) located in start of wide surface sliding area (2). Thus, they enter the wide surface sliding area (2) in a secure manner and at low speed, which provides extra safety. Each sliding lane (14.1, 14.2) has been designed in a manner containing slowing down counter flow nozzle (13). The flow rate of the water supplied from the said slowing down counter flow nozzle (13) is equal at both sliding lanes (14.1, 14.2). Thus fair racing conditions are ensured.
- After the riders are slowed down by the said slowing down counter flow nozzles (13), they enter in the constantly decreasing slope descending part (21) of the wide surface sliding area (2) at decreased speed. However, they continue to slide on the wide surface sliding area (2) under the effect of pushing forces created by kinetic energy and momentum gained. They can pass from descending part (21) to middle part (22) from middle part (22) to elevating part (23) by effect of this speed.
- As mentioned, the wide surface sliding area (2) comprises descending part (21), middle part (22) and elevating part (23). The riders make forward backward swinging in wide surface sliding area (2) as shown in
figure 3 . The kinetic energy and momentum of the riders provide performance of such action. - The wide surface sliding area (2) can be used jointly by the riders (up to 4 riders) sliding in both sliding lanes (14.1, 14.2) just as it is for lane sliding part (1). Since there is a separator extension (24) separating the areas where both sliding lanes (14.1, 14.2) end, it is possible. The race also continues in this part. The swinging length decreases upon decrease of speed. The riders whose speed has lost leave from exit stairs (25) located on both side edges of the middle part (22) and thus complete the entertainment and race.
- However, in an alternative embodiment as seen in
figure 1a , next sliding lane (32) can be provided in a manner continuing after exit/returning part of the slide (3). The rider can continue sliding on the continuing slide in this alternative embodiment. Effect part (31) that may contain various effects can be provided on the said exit-returning part of the slide (3). The effects are fog, light and those visual effects in order to enhance the excitement and entertainment. - In an alternative embodiment of the invention as it can be seen in
figure 2a , an exit lane (33) providing exit instead of exit stairs (25) shown infigure 2 located on both side edges of the middle part (22) has been provided.Figure 3a shows a view of alternative embodiment of starting part of the slide (11). As it can be seen from the figure, the said starting part of the slide (11) may not be separated from middle part by a separator extension (14.3) but instead be an integral part. - In an alternative embodiment of the invention, various effects such as smoke effect, light effect other than the effect part (31) can also be used at the desired parts on the sliding.
- In an alternative embodiment of the invention, the sliding can be ended with a cobra head like close ending part as well as ended with a separate sliding to be added to the said wide surface sliding area (2) (see
figure 1a ). The riders may reach the pool or dry soft ground from this last slide. - In preferred embodiments of the invention, sliding apparatus providing sliding by wheels or sledge like slide members on dry surface can be used instead of inflatable boat moving on water so as to be convenient for use without water.
