Abstract

Apparatus for connecting amusement water slides from continuous water flow down the slide to controlled, spaced apart gushes of water enhancing the thrill of the ride and improving the safety thereof. The slide run has a start position at the upper elevated end from a platform and an exit lower end that discharges the rider and water into a landing pool. At least one of the multiple runs is provided with apparatus of the foregoing for having intermittent gushes of water along such run as desired by operator or rider. A vertical tower with stairs and/or elevator provides for movement of the participants from the lower end of the runs to the upper start end of the runs. A water reservoir is provided at some location upstream from the end of the slide run (preferrably at the uppermost end, i.e. the start of the run), and water is pumped from the landing pool into the reservoir which, when full, overflows into the water chute slide.
