Lake Slides: *Nearly* Invisible Fun
Jun 19, 2015
Jimmy James

Designing and building slides going into lakes often presents interesting challenges like the one we built on Lake Champlain which was over 300' long, traversed a 38' cliff, and had to be camouflaged.  The end result was visually stunning but it was also fast & fun!

To achieve a smooth AND exciting ride for both kids and adults, an ideal home water slide design will strike the right balance among several factors including slide type, slide width & length, and slide features. Get it right and you'll create an amazing (and immersive) ride.  Get it wrong and your slide will be a washout.

Keep the Play at Your Place With a Waterslide
May 28, 2015
Jimmy James

If you're looking for ways to keep the kids and adults entertained so they stay at your place instead of going somewhere else, you should seriously consider putting in a waterslide (or two). The right waterslide can help bridge the play gap between adults and kids and will complement your other water activities.

I love facilitating active play with kids, adults, and everyone in between. Here's a few strategies I've used to increase the level of fun (and exercise) for our family during summer break.  You don't even need a waterslide (although they're really good at setting the stage for active play).

Used Water Park Slides: A Brand-New Approach to Fun

I got my start recycling water park slides after seeing one torn down and trashed 8 years ago.  For me, the best part of slide recycling is that everyone wins: parks win (easy way to get rid of old slides), you win (how about a 150 foot slide going into the lake from your back door?), and I win (we make a difference one slide section at a time).
