ProSlide debuts ground-breaking Dueling FlyingSAUCER water attraction

ProSlide debuts ground-breaking Dueling FlyingSAUCER water attraction
May 19, 2022

Industry leader in water ride design, technology and manufacturing, ProSlide Technology Inc., has debuted their ground-breaking ‘Dueling FlyingSAUCER®’ at Adventure Island - a water park located northeast of Tampa, Florida and part of SeaWorld Parks and Entertainment.

This global debut is the newest innovation by ProSlide, combining two exclusive technologies to deliver a high-performance racing attraction that signifies the next step in competitive water ride racing.

ProSlide has worked on five SeaWorld properties during their decades-long partnership and the Dueling FlyingSAUCER® marks their 10th installation at Adventure Island.

ProSlide’s Dueling FlyingSAUCER® is unique in that it’s the only feature of its kind; a duelling feature that allows riders to race in the same direction.

Ray Smegal, ProSlide Chief Commercial Officer notes “this new feature is built on the foundation of award-winning rides and ProSlide innovation.

“It establishes a completely new category of ride feature and is poised to create a monumental shift in the water ride landscape. We’re thrilled to partner again with SeaWorld and Adventure Island to debut this one-of-a-kind ProSlide water ride.”

The Dueling FlyingSAUCER® combines aspects of ProSlide’s Dueling PIPEline and FlyingSAUCER® into a single water ride feature.

“These are two of our most popular water rides around the world”, says Greg White, ProSlide’s Vice-President, Products, when speaking about the two features that inspired the Dueling FlyingSAUCER®. “Both draw a tremendous amount of their inspiration from our company’s history in competitive ski racing, so combining them into a single experience was a natural progression for us.”

With the Dueling FlyingSAUCER®, two vehicles enter the feature via two closed duelling flumes. As riders drop and dive through the feature like world cup skiers through a giant slalom ski turn,

they can see and hear their competition, creating a neck-and-neck competitive racing experience.

For thirty-five years, ProSlide has led the market in water ride innovation and technology with over 100 awards and recognitions, winning 15 IAAPA Best New Water Ride awards in the last 18 years, five times more than all other manufacturers combined and 4th time recipient of the IAAPA IMPACT Award.
