How Do Water Slides Go Up Hill? - Ride Science of WaterCoasters

[@joyoustye2326]

Water coasters are incredible. I got a chance to ride Holiday World's water coasters and I was blown away. Mammoth was probably my favorite

[@CoasterCollege]

@@joyoustye2326 they are super underrated!

[@kso808]

Wow! Water slides have sure advanced in the past 30 years!

[@dindog22]

you learn something new every day. today it was about water coasters. thank you Brennan

[@crazychickengd]

Strange that the only way (so far) of speeding up rafts in Planet Coaster 2 is the least popular real option (conveyor belts)

[@Trootsbloxplayzthemetalfan]

There are jets

NEW COASTER COLLEGE VIDEO!!!!!!!!

[@EveryoneIsFamily]

I never knew this. Fascinating!

[@haunter_1845]

Water slides only give you the feeling of failing, but these water coasters look full of happy.

[@throwplate]

Kids who create a wake in the lazy river get sent through these with no raft. It's park policy.

[@ScreamingAllTheTime]

These def look fun, I’ve yet to ride one, but every time I see one of these, they look so… rigid. There’s not much banking and such from the videos I’ve seen, and that’s always been my favorite part of going on a waterslide, especially on the kind when you’re on a round raft and it can spin around. It’s so fun to go up the edges on those when you take a big curve

[@CoasterCollege]

The airtime and speed of these slides help them stack up!

[@BassGuitarSlide]

Great video - I really appreciate it when waterslides get some more recognition 😊 These slide models look really fun, unfortunately, they are rarely found in Europe...

[@ClebyHerris]

Who are you? Eltororyan?

[@j_0anna]

was not expecting a dreamworld/white water world mention in this video! super tubes is still open today, i will have to try to fit in a visit to WWW this summer (it will be very busy though!)

[@VelocityRides31]

Water Ride Wednesday?

[@Vixen2619]

Plus I think having a blast watercoaster will be perfect for Canada’s wonderland.

[@antoineosburn8626]

Very informative. I've always wondered what happened to NBGS. I remember learning about them in the computer room when I was in high school back in 2002 to 2006. Them being bought out by Whitewater West. I had no idea. I thought they just dropped off the face of the planet. Never to be heard again. Lol.

[@kaylawhipple7570]

Ahhh yes the water coaster at Great Wolf Lodge Niagara. I was on that the year it opened. 10 year old me loved screaming on that thing.

[@princesskristan]

I live really close to Raging Waters and they have a WaterCoaster. I haven't been since I was a teenager, but maybe next year I should go check it out. It looks fun

[@lowlyworm9323]

WHOA the zip coaster in Sandusky specifically was the first of its kind?! I had no idea! I’ve been on it so many times!

[@maincoasters]

i don’t too much care for the water coasters that use LIMS, really fun but the master blaster gets you SOAKED

[@bradye21playsIndieHorror]

The side mounted ones look great because you get wet while on the raft. I gotta find that nearby.

[@Vixen2619]

I predict that in the future Canada’s wonderland will have a watercosater in splash works.

[@TTMfred]

Do a video on how x2 works

[@TTMfred]

Does that sound like a future video project

[@stanky1508]

Australia mention YYYEEEAAAAHHHH

[@TS_Mind_Swept]

I've yet to be able to try one of these, but if I get the opportunity to at some point in the future I definitely won't pass it up (also the one at Kalahari in Sandusky looked all kinds of jank, so even though I never got to try it, despite working there whilst it was still operating, I don't really feel too bad)

[@MrMakoFL]

Woo hoo, Journey to Atlantis

[@CoasterCollege]

I hear "transition" in my head every time I see a clip of that ride.

[@johnfoltz8183]

And RCDB counts Journey to Atlantis as a coaster

[@MrMakoFL]

@ oooof

[@MrSRArter]

I call them "water roller coasters" and "water slide coasters" to differentiate them.

[@bunnygrill]

Maybe we should call the roller coasters flume coasters

[@o5-7firefox]

A BLOCK ZONE IS AN AREA OF TRACK THAT ONLY ONE TRAIN CAN OCCUPY- (sorry I had to)

[@anja0106]

“For those of you who don’t know, a block zone is…”

[@cartoonkeeper]

Visiting from the ElTororyan Channel I see

[@WasatchWind]

I just cannot get over that you can fall off the raft.

[@CoasterCollege]

@@WasatchWind it's perfectly safe on non conveyer rides!

[@mimikyu__-]

question, does it technically count as a credit ?

[@CoasterCollege]

@@mimikyu__- depends who you ask
