Engineering & Craftsmanship

Overview

The 28m Flume Ride is a fixed water coaster designed for theme parks and water parks. It combines a lift hill, elevated track, and a splashdown into a water channel. The ride accommodates 20 passengers per boat and runs for approximately 4.5 minutes per cycle. It is designed to the standards required by your market, confirmed per project.

Design and build

The ride features a track height of 27.4m and a lift speed of 1.1m/s. The installed power is 517kVA, and the power supply is 3N+PE 380V/220V 50Hz. The design service life is 20 years for the structure and 10 years for the boats. The ride system uses three boats operating simultaneously, with photoelectric sensors and interlocked controls to manage boat spacing and prevent collisions. Safety interlocks include lift chain tension, water level, and pneumatic pressure monitoring.

Site and installation

The ride requires a footprint of 145×101 (unit). Installation is fixed, and the site must be prepared according to the foundation plan provided. The ride is designed to the standards required by your market, confirmed per project. Adequate power supply and water management systems are necessary for operation. Our team provides installation guidance and documentation to support your local engineering team.

Operating notes

Daily inspections should include checking the lift chain tension, water level, and pneumatic system pressure. The ride is equipped with an emergency evacuation plan that includes rescue ladders and trained staff. Operators must ensure that all safety restraints are properly closed and locked before dispatch. The control system includes multiple interlock checks to ensure safe operation. Regular maintenance according to the maintenance manual is essential to achieve the design service life.

04Safety

Multi-Layer Safety Protection

Every ZhipaoRides product is engineered with redundant, fail-safe systems that meet or exceed international amusement ride safety standards. From electrical interlocks to structural redundancy, we leave nothing to chance.

  • Mandatory Safety Interlock

    Forced electrical interlocking prevents any unauthorized or unsafe startup. The system requires all safety conditions to be met before operation can begin, eliminating human-error risks.

  • Triple-Layer Cabin Door Protection

    Three independent door opening safeguards — mechanical lock, electrical sensor, and control system verification — eliminate passenger entrapment risk under all operating conditions.

  • Redundant Braking System

    Dual independent braking mechanisms with fail-safe engagement ensure controlled deceleration even in the event of primary system failure, meeting Class A ride standards.

  • Real-Time Condition Monitoring

    Continuous sensor-based monitoring of vibration, temperature, and load distribution provides instant anomaly detection and automatic shutdown when parameters exceed safe thresholds.

  • Emergency Evacuation System

    Integrated auxiliary drive and manual release mechanisms enable safe passenger evacuation from any position, including during power outages or extreme weather conditions.

  • Full-Life NDT Quality Control

    Non-destructive testing at every production stage — from raw material to final assembly — ensures structural integrity backed by 25-year design life certification.

Our safety systems undergo rigorous third-party testing and certification to meet or exceed GB 8408 (Chinese national standard) and EN 13814 (European standard) requirements. Each ride is equipped with multiple redundant safety mechanisms, ensuring passenger protection at all times. From the factory floor to the final installation site, our engineering team conducts comprehensive safety audits, load tests, and operational simulations before any ride enters service.
