One of our more interesting jobs was for a Jewish camp. Unique requirements make for fun challenges, so we had a blast on this project.
With summer vacation here, it's time to hit the water parks with the family; and for the lucky people who live in one of these states, they'll be seeing fewer people in front of them in line.
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!
If you're out on the road this summer and missing your backyard water slide, here are several natural water slides where you can make a splash and cool off with the family.
Do you have a great idea for a waterslide but you’re not quite sure how to get started? That’s ok—just tell us your story and we’ll do the rest. We love building dreams one section at a time.
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.
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).
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).
