How to make a waterslide by yourself?


How to make a waterslide by yourself?
Instructions:

1
Buy a large pice of plastic at least 4 meters wide and 12 meters long. Plastic sheetsare also good.
2
Choose sunny area for your waterslide on slope or hill and within reach of water.
3
Roll the plastic. Make sure that there are no rocks or hard or sharp objects under the plastic .
4
Remove grass or leaves around the waterslide because it will stick to the people when they are wet.
5
Spray the whole water slide with water and put the hose at the top of the slide so that water continues to run down.
6
Dress all people in bathing suits and water shoes and let them waterslide one by one.
7
You can then waterslide: laying on your back and sitting of on your stomach etc.
8
Let the plastic dry in the sun before you roles it up and put it away.


From my own experience.

From my own experience.

From my own experience. It was very nice if you could get across the top.It also happened that the rubber float broke down.Without rubber float, you could not waterslide further.I liked the halfpipe the most, but the turbo cyclone was wicked too.In the May holidays I have been in France.The campsite we had booked, is known for its water parkThere is a Turbo cylcone, a halfpipe, and 7 normal WaterslidesThe Halfpipe was only for those who were greater when 1.20 metersYou had to waterslide with rubber float. From the beginning, you are in a freefall, from15 meters high





Turbo CycloneAlso on this slide you go with a float. First you go through a pipe 60 meters long. In thepipe you see lighting effects. Then shoot with your float in the turbo cyclone, a greatbig funnel with a diameter of 15 meters.

A few waterslides

few waterslides




Time warp
Noah's Ark, Wisconsin Dells May 2006 if you ever have flushed the toilet and thought ''that looks wicked''This ride is for you! The time warp is based on the flushing of a toiletStraight down through A hole at the bottom. Into the swirling water.







The blue ringed octopus
White Water World, Gold Coast, Australia.
Eight tubes on each other to propel the runner, and then they come down into the waterslide nearly at the same time .
The turns are 270 degrees to left and right.



















Vulcano
Siam Park, Tenerife, Canary Islands.
Gliders come in A dramatic bowl and then go 60 meters from left to right. Then in the halfpipe and flies 35 meters above the bottom of the funnel.

Aqualoop!

AQUALOOP !!


Aqualoop

World's first looping waterslide almost vertical!
Aqualoop is the ultimate waterslide !
From the moment you sit inside the capsule, you know that Into the swirling waterslide is not a normal waterslide . 3-2-1-Go!





The floor moves away and then you fall 17 meters straight down
Then you will turn in a curve almost straight upThis at a rate of about 60 kmph.
The G forces make sure you glide right through the bow.
There is no better like thisThe whole trip takes 7 seconds



History of the aqualoop 



An Austrian manufacturers Aquarena developed the world's first looping waterslide ,known as the Aqua Loop.
There are only 20 of these waterslides over the world! The first Aqualoop was build in 2008 in Croatia.
The largest Aqualoop has four loops and is in Austalie.





Waterslide and its history

Waterslide and its history

The waterslides in a theme park using a constant flow of water.
Through the water the track will be slippery and very fast.

The history of the big waterslides:

The water waterslides are round, like the aqueducts. This is because it is the best way to transport the water.


In 1923 Herbert Sellner brought
the first water slide to America.
It was a copy of his toboggan
but then filled with water.

Herbert Sellner was addicted to amusement parks.
The water slide was the beginning of one of his many inventions.
For example, the roller coaster rides, etc.

By the waterslide is the intention that you first climb up and then slide down.
By gravity sliding you down.
By rubbing your clothes make you glide slowly.
On a water slide reduces friction and therefore go faster.
The force of the water that goes down it pulls you.
This will take you very fast.

The water slides are usually made of fiberglass, in pieces of a few meters.
Every few meters, the pieces screwed together.
The fiberglass pieces are supported by a steel frame.
In 90% of cases, the waterslide ends in a pool, but there are also waterslides that endin a bucket .
The water is through a pump system pumped up.
It always use the same water.
