| 189 | Wave river water attraction | US672664 | 1996-06-28 | US5766082A | 1998-06-16 | Thomas J. Lochtefeld; Jeffrey Wayne Henry |
| The present invention relates to a water ride comprising a channel of water connected to a beach area, wherein a torrential flow of water can be released into the channel, to create a swell that travels through the channel, and then turns into a solitary tidal wave that spills and breaks onto the beach. The water in the channel can also be made to flow in a uniform direction, due to the momentum and energy transferred from repeatedly releasing the torrential flow of water into the channel. The curvature and orientation of the beach area relative to the channel causes the waves breaking onto the beach to travel radially outward in an arc-shape, causing the waves to spill over and break, as they make their way around the beach. | ||||||

| Cable driven racing boats compete in a simulated race including forward and return heats. In the forward heat, the racing boats are accelerated along parallel guide channels from a forward launch station into a shallow splash lake, and then hydroplane to a forward heat finish line. In the return heat, the racing boats are accelerated through the same guide channels from a return launch station located on the opposite end of the splash lake. Passengers continue to face the reverse launch station as the racing boats plunge into the shallow splash lake and hydroplane to the return heat finish line. The racing boats are stabilized by centering wheels and by guide rollers that travel along the guide channels. The racing boats are clamped onto the drive cables, and the guide rollers are mounted for rotation on tow bars that are pivotally coupled to the drive cables. The centering rollers ride on rails that run in parallel with the guide channel, and the tow bars pull the guide rollers through a guide pocket in rolling engagement against a guide plate. High speed take-up reels located near the forward and return launching stations are coupled to opposite ends of the power drive cables for pull-pull power transmission. Start-up torque is provided by a shiftable flywheel, and electric motors drive the cables at hydroplaning speed. | ||||||

| 196 | Low rise water ride | US111676 | 1987-10-23 | US4805896A | 1989-02-21 | James C. Moody |
| A water ride for swimmers utilizes the linear movement of a large quantity of water of swimming depth at minimal slopes so that the swimmer is moved by the water rather than through it. High volume pumps at low water heads move large quantities of water to create varying water velocity characteristics. A circuitous course is configured generally in the form of an S-curve with a complete 360.degree. circular portion at the bottom with a straight connecting portion from the circle to the top of the S-curve. Water is pumped through the S-curve and connecting portion at a one rate and through the circular portion at another rate. The continuous channel varies along its length in depth, width, slope, and curvature to vary the velocity and flow characteristic of the flowing water. Entrances and exits are provided on the straight connecting portion and on the circular portion. The main entrance on the straight portion is less than 7 feet above the main entrance on the circular portion. A reservoir within the circular portion of the channel supplies water for the channel and is also used for swimming, wading, sunbathing, diving and other water recreation. The circular channel empties into the reservoir and an inclined walk way from the reservoir leads back to the main entrances on the circular portion and on the straight connecting portion. | ||||||

| An endless water way is supported by a superstructure and includes a bottom wall and side walls extending upwardly from the bottom wall to form a trough. A pump system effects continuous forward flow of water through the trough of the waterway. A guide track is supported on the waterway above the trough. A plurality of vehicles for transporting passengers from station to station are buoyantly supported by the guide track in the waterway. The guide track maintains the vehicles at a selected depth in the waterway. Each vehicle is provided with braking apparatus for frictionally engaging the guide track of the waterway to slow and stop the vehicles. The continuous forward movement of water in the waterway forwardly propels the vehicles from station to station. A plurality of endless waterways form continuous loops that radiates outwardly from the main terminal to provide transportation around the loops to and from the main terminal. A shunting track is provided at each station for diverting the movement of the vehicles from the waterway to permit the vehicles to bypass the station or insertion and removal of the vehicles from the waterway. Conveyor devices transport the vehicles through the station at a controlled rate of speed to facilitate the boarding and departure of passengers to and from the vehicles. | ||||||
