New Waves Partner in New Zealand, ProSlide win world award

ProSlide Technology, the global leader in water ride manufacturing and design, today announces that it has won Best New Water Ride award at IAAPA 2018 in Orlando, Florida with the brand-new FlyingSAUCER™ 45 attraction.

This win provides ProSlide with its industry-leading 14th first-place IAAPA water ride award in the past 16 years – four times more than all of the other manufacturers combined.

“Since 1986, we have been dedicated to continuously improving our attractions with the latest technology and engineering,” said Phil Hayles, VP of Business Development at ProSlide. “This firm commitment to invention has enabled our water park partners to continue winning awards around the world.”

The FlyingSAUCER™ 45 delivers a completely new water ride experience as riders in 4- to 5-person rafts surge through dark tunnels and onto the wide-open expanse of a massive saucer feature where they race high along the edge glued by centrifugal force.

“With patented compound curves and steep saucer angles, the FlyingSAUCER® 45 is an engineering marvel that guests can’t stop talking about. We’ve essentially developed a new way to turn, forever changing how guests experience water rides.”

The award-winning success of this iconic attraction has garnered interest from leading water parks around the world with Siam Park, Great Wolf Lodge Georgia and OCT Nanjing installing five FlyingSAUCER™ 45 rides between them. “For the world’s best water parks, it’s all about the rides. Having industry-leading water parks investing in the FlyingSAUCER™ 45 and other high-performance ProSlide attractions demonstrates the value of innovation.”
