Very recently, WhiteWater West announced that their newest sliding technology, Slideboarding, will be installed at Wet'n'Wild Las Vegas water park near Las Vegas, Nevada.
We're excited to announce that we have sold the 1st Slideboarding waterslide to @wetnwildlv for the 2015 season!

Slideboarding is a waterslide that integrates gaming, skill, edge, and competitive sports into an experience that will define waterparks of the future. Slideboarding builds on the thrills of waterpark fun and adds in gaming in the same way we love to play today. It’s a waterslide that uses a state-of-the art ride vehicle with an S3 embedded game controller that when combined creates what we call a Slideboard. It uses a smart gaming system that knows who you are and tracks your progress/scores over your run down the waterslide as well as multiple runs thereafter.
Basically, it's to combine video games with a water slide. It practically adds a whole new form of experience for a slide, bringing them from being less passive as attractions. Following the announcement, WhiteWater also released a video of people sampling it on another slide that was possibly retrofitted to include the new technology.
