Space Race Waterslide - Oasis Waterpark , Izmir , Turkey

WORLD’S FIRST FAMILY BOWL RACING SLIDE! Space Race is an advanced waterslide that delivers a uniquely competitive riding experience. Its invention fulfills a life-long dream of our company: To give guests the experience of competing in a true, real-life race with other riders within a bowl slide. The result of our efforts has been the creation of the first slide of its kind in the world . Engineering this ride meant approaching every element differently to ensure our design was not only revolutionary and breathtaking but also practical. We succeeded and developed a unique, streamlined design, distinctive entry tower and quadruple rafts. It is completely accurate to state that no ride exists that is quite like Space Race. Space Race is a unique slide that provides new racing capabilities to the family-slide category. It is designed for racing two round family-style rafts holding four people each (resulting in eight simultaneous riders). The rafts enter the bowl into two tubes, each on opposite sides of the top level of the entry tower. Over the course of the ride, the riders can reach speeds of more than 24-27 miles/hour (39-43 Kilometers per hour). The race begins immediately as the rafts enter the bowl’s perimeter and follow two identical helical routes around its interior - separated by a patentpending dividing wall - racing to the center of the bowl. The bowl is purposefully designed so that the two racing teams can easily see each other as they travel the bowl’s interior to increase the competition and their adrenaline levels. The rafts exit the bowl at its center, heading in opposite directions before the sliding adventure ends into two separate - and still identical - dry or pool landings.
