How Does a River Rapids Ride Work And How To Get Completely SOAKED!?

🔺The full Dutch version of this video can be found here: • Doorweekt door de Perf...
🔺How does a river rapids attraction work? What makes a good river rapids? To answer this question, we went to Adventurepark Hellendoorn in the Netherlands. We take a backstage look at the Sungai Kalimantan River Rapid ride in the park. Jurnan from the University of Twente tells us more about the wave machine and the basic explanation of waves or fluid dynamics. Many thanks to Avonturenpark Hellendoorn!

The water flowing through the dry trough has to be the most satisfying thing ever!

[@greatwesternsky]

Yet you’ve barely made any beautifully themed water rides in Planet Coaster! I’m desperate to see one from you! 😂

[@CoasterStats]

Finally we can understand everything you say, without using the automatic translator. Thank you for even creating different versions in different languages. Awesome work!

[@ThemeParkScienceOfficial]

Thx! Please spread the word :) More English content coming soon!

[@thedman1696]

Yes, VERY thankful these informative little mini documentaries are available in English too.

[@ThemeParkScienceOfficial]

@@thedman1696 please give us some time! But we’ll post some more English content! Just have to finish some Dutch content first…

[@Mooory]

Really really appreciate that you're doing those Videos in English now! As a person who doesn't understand Dutch well, it's great to understand everything in these videos now and David does a great Job moderating. Keep it up, nice video :)

[@ThemeParkScienceOfficial]

Thanks! We will upload more English video's in the nearby future. Feel free to subscribe! :)

[@Oli414]

Thanks for making English versions! I often ended up sending shortened translations to friends as this type of content is incredibly rare. Glad it'll be available to an international audience as well

[@ThemeParkScienceOfficial]

Woow. Many thanks for this great compliment. Please spread the word :) More english content coming soon!

[@murrugamenezes]

This is the most satisfying video I have wached for a while. I ALWAYS wanted so badly see how this works. Thanks!

[@yvanspijk]

Nice! :) I'm glad to see you made an effort to have someone with a good English accent, David, present this first video in English. It's a prerequisite that's often overlooked by Dutch creators (and marketing agencies alike) who produce videos in English. Keep up the good work! ^^

[@ThemeParkScienceOfficial]

Many thanks! More English video’s will be online in just a few weeks

[@coasterbot]

I love the fluid simulations - great video!

[@ThemeParkScienceOfficial]

Many thanks! Love your videos as well! One of the best on KZbin!

[@LiToCoasterCouple]

Very well done this one! Great debut David!

[@ThemeParkScienceOfficial]

Thanks!

[@annekedebruyn7797]

Great idea to make this channel also in English. There aren't many 'broadcast' quality series about themeparks so this is fantastic.

[@22bryanc58]

I really wanted to watch the start of the ride and water going down when it started and I’m so happy and satisfied that they included that

[@Shaki123]

Wow, this is amazing. I am Dutch but I like the English language better :D

[@TheKurtsPlaceChannel]

Very nicely put together video and very entertaining as well. Thanks for posting this.

[@WickedGamerCollector]

Heb net de NL versie gekeken. Kortom 2x video opgenomen een in NL en andere in ENG... Dat is best wat werk.

[@again5162]

Cool, I grew up with the now defunct white water river ride at Dreamworld built by an amateur in 1984, Gold Coast, Australia and a log ride. Was basic but fun probably same length 480 metres. They had logs changed in place to create waves. Originally the centre settling pond held movie nights and it was a pool party

[@HumanStateOfEmergency]

Thank you thank you THANK YOU for making this video! I've always been fascinated by water rides and the components involved and have always wanted to see it turning on and so on. Fabulous.

[@PendelSteven]

I just want to say I love that it's called Sungai Kalimantan. A nod to the Indonesians in the Netherlands and part of our national history. Props to Adventurepark Hellendoorn: I've never forgotten the name (or our ties with Indonesia for that matter)

[@Richard.van.R]

GOOD JOB GUYS, VERY CLEAR

[@svenlakemeier]

Great content, great presentation.

[@VincentRoch]

Thank you very much for the English video! Very clear and top quality content!

[@ThemeParkScienceOfficial]

We will upload more English video's soon! :) Thanks!

[@gypsymuffinABZ]

Interesting video, thanks.

[@Krea]

Really good video!

[@acidalex420]

dude this video is amazing!

[@ThemeParkScienceOfficial]

Many thanks! We have some great other english video's coming soon. So stay tuned! :)

[@TheZenne1995]

Super dat jullie het ook in het Engels uitbrengen! Nu kan mijn Engelstalige vriendin ook eens mee genieten van deze informatieve videos van jullie! Meer graag!! 👍

[@SEEKINGTHETHRILL]

TPS goes global

[@gewoonkevin7382]

Dope!

[@PalmPeakMarketing]

Dang, I thought the other way of making the waves was having a pump house with an electric blower. Then there would be a part in front of it with a series of flaps that go to chambers to distribute the air evenly, causing the water to be forced out of the chambers, therefore creating waves. Thought that instead of the paddle.

[@NS_Miata]

Are you going on fabric tour at Vekoma soon? Would be so epic!!

[@ThemeParkScienceOfficial]

We would love to! No plans at this moment!

[@josephastier7421]

I didn't realize these rides didn't appear until 1980. I thought they had been around forever.

[@richardvandeketterij3700]

Let's go 💪

[@jelmerdmx]

Wat vet dat ze dit in het Engels doen, dat wist ik helemaal nog niet!

[@ThemeParkScienceOfficial]

It's the first one :)

[@Jalmaan]

It's awesome to have these videos available in English aswell so my girlfriend can pick up what is being said aswell, and not just me having to translate everything that's said or having to turn on the auto generated subtitles with google translate on. :P

[@ThemeParkScienceOfficial]

Great to hear! We will upload more English content very soon.

[@ja-zl1hs]

Ook in het Engels topvideos!!!

[@tatsurider]

Great video! I would love to know what song played at 8:08

[@ThemeParkScienceOfficial]

It’s the tune from the park

[@JRBowling1997]

@4:55 what would happen if the power went out? And everyone was on the ride?

[@ThemeParkScienceOfficial]

That's why there are some extra 'brakes' for the boats in the ride. The boats will stop there and will end on the bottom of the empty flume.

[@bluepack2]

Jammer dat het er zo treurig uit ziet. Verder toffe video!

[@ThemeParkScienceOfficial]

Valt toch mee?

[@JRBowling1997]

How does the water not overflow throughout the ride?

[@lauravanderweel6996]

👍👍

[@AG7-MTM]

This is what I call "master science"

[@ThemeParkScienceOfficial]

Thanks!

[@Rcthans]

Damn David his english is on point.

[@samnfg]

Persoonlijk vind ik de engelse versie veel beter, thank you for the english version!

[@altonalex1235]

YES ALWAYS WANTED ONE OF THESE VIDS, rapids rides are my favourite rides even beats coasters!!! Congo River Rapids at Alton Towers is my favourite

[@ThemeParkScienceOfficial]

Thanks for your comment!

[@chadhartsees]

Is the theme of this ride supposed to be 'urban drainage ditch'?

[@laurasanchez7105]

I'm always scared the boat is gonna slip and crash back down when it's on the way up, it's so steep!

[@altonalex1235]

It won't, no need to worry!

[@Leon-mq8lj]

Deze rapid ziet er wel heel erg saai uit. De zijkanten van de kanalen en de waterval zien er erg onafgemaakt uit.

[@frankbronkhorst2241]

waarom in engels

[@ThemeParkScienceOfficial]

Er is ook een Nederlandse versie te vinden hoor! We willen juist een groot publiek bereiken, dus doen het (voorlopig) in 2 talen!

[@frankbronkhorst2241]
