Talk:Water slide

Aqua Skoot

Wonder if this ride is worth adding, as I didn't see it mentioned here... you ride down an incline on a plastic sled, and at the bottom the sled goes skipping over a shallow pool, like a stone. The company Amusements By Bailey manufactures them, invented by Ken Bailey, and there are a number in the U.S and Canada under different names. In fact, I think one of, if not the only one, of these that actually used the name of the slide for the attraction is Action Park in Vernon, NJ - only I think theirs was a REALLY early version given their using a 60 foot slope instead of the 30 foot slope offered, and the slope used metal rollers instead of a smooth slope, which lead to a number of issues in of itself. And yes, I think it's the same person/company that made Action Park's, since the company - and ride - has been around > 30 years according to their site (almost as long ago as Action Park had theirs originally, give a few years). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.127.67.17 (talk) 19:13, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

Home/public swimming pool slides

This article only covers larger waterpark water slides but ignores the smaller short slides found at some home swimming pools as well as some public swimming pools. Since I believe those are in the category of water slides too then they should be included. They are often just referred to as pool slides. --Notcharliechaplin (talk) 06:33, 3 September 2016 (UTC)

to add back a new paragraph about kids body slides on this page

@Koventra On March 13, 2024 I added a paragraph to expand the information about body slides. You declined my change based on "advocacy" but I respectfully dispute this. I noted that the page is primarily focused on Proslide and WhiteWater West companies and their products. As an example, the header called Aqualoop is specifically a trademarked product from WhiteWater West. As a second example, the page refers to ProSlide Tornado. Based on this information, I think it is appropriate for my addition that discusses a smaller body slide - designed for kids - that was not included on the page. My addition is adding value because there was no previous mention of any smaller waterslides for kids. Note that the Wikipedia page is Vortex Aquatic Structures International and it is a credible company. Can you please review your position and reactivate the text. Thank you.
