The Flume Ride is a fixed water coaster with a 27.4m track height and 20-rider boats. It suits park developers and investors adding a high-capacity water attraction.
Figures below are the design values for this model. Site-specific engineering is confirmed per project.
The Flume Ride is a fixed water coaster designed for park developers and investors. It combines a lift, an elevated track section, a dive, and a water splash. The ride uses 20-person boats and runs for about 4.5 minutes. It is intended for parks seeking a water-based attraction with a tall track profile.
The track height is 27.4m. Boats are lifted at 1.1m/s and then travel through transition, elevated, dive, and return sections. The boat bow is shaped to create a splash on water entry. The ride is designed to the standards required by your market, confirmed per project. The design life is 20 years for the structure and 10 years for the boats.
The ride footprint is 145×101. It requires a power supply of 3N+PE 380V/220V 50Hz and an installed capacity of 517kVA. The installation type is fixed, so the ride is set up as a permanent attraction. Site preparation should account for the water channel, station, and lift sections. Foundation design is confirmed per project based on local conditions.
The ride uses several interlocks to support safe operation. These include interlocks for bar closure and locking, water level, air pressure, lift chain tension, and boat zone anti-collision. An emergency evacuation plan is provided. It includes procedures for stopping the ride, reaching boats, and guiding riders to exit. Trained staff and rescue equipment are required. Operators should follow the manufacturer's operating manual and local regulations.
The questions park developers ask most about this ride — answered without the sales language.
Each boat carries 20 riders. The ride can operate with three boats at the same time, which helps increase throughput. Actual hourly capacity depends on dispatch timing, ride duration, and site operating procedures.
The ride requires a 3N+PE 380V/220V 50Hz power supply. The installed capacity is 517kVA. Confirm local power availability and any voltage or frequency requirements with your project team before installation.
The overall ride is designed for a 20-year life. The boats have a 10-year design life. Maintenance and inspection schedules should follow the operating manual and local regulations to support safe operation throughout the service life.

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.
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.
Three independent door opening safeguards — mechanical lock, electrical sensor, and control system verification — eliminate passenger entrapment risk under all operating conditions.
Dual independent braking mechanisms with fail-safe engagement ensure controlled deceleration even in the event of primary system failure, meeting Class A ride standards.
Continuous sensor-based monitoring of vibration, temperature, and load distribution provides instant anomaly detection and automatic shutdown when parameters exceed safe thresholds.
Integrated auxiliary drive and manual release mechanisms enable safe passenger evacuation from any position, including during power outages or extreme weather conditions.
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.
