Holiday World stays at the head of the pack with three ProSlide Water Coasters, making them the Water Coaster Capital of the World!
Holiday World’s first ProSlide Water Coaster is Wildebeest (2010), a LIM-powered HydroMAGNETIC ROCKET and 10-time Golden Ticket Award winner for Best Water Ride (2010-2020). Their second ProSlide Water Coaster is MAMMOTH (2012), a LIM-powered HydroMAGNETIC MAMMOTH that holds the title of ‘World’s Longest Water Coaster’. Their third and newest ProSlide Water Coaster is the Launched Dueling RocketBLAST/FlyingSAUCER Water Coaster, Cheetah Chase (2020). Poised to be the most awarded water ride in 2020, Cheetah Chase is already record setting and delivers incredible entertainment value for guests at Holiday World.
Launch Technology
The world’s first horizontal launch start is the centerpiece of the Launched Dueling RocketBLAST/FlyingSAUCER Water Coaster. Right from the beginning, riders are introduced to the unmatched racing experience that this attraction offers. The high-speed start launches riders at grade from zero to 30 feet-per-second, thanks to the power of the RocketBLAST propulsion, directly towards the first thrilling FlyingSAUCER turn.
Dueling Race Experience
The ProSlide Water Coaster takes competitive racing to the next level by incorporating ProSlide’s exclusive Dueling PIPElines in a face-to-face position for the first time. Heightening the race experience even more are multiple open flume RallyPOINTs: patented ProSlide technology with low divider walls and a u-shaped flume that allow riders to see and hear each other at strategic points in the race.
RocketBLAST Propulsion
The Launched Dueling RocketBLAST/FlyingSAUCER Water Coaster is powered by ProSlide’s next-generation BLAST technology. This propulsion relies on exclusive turbine technology to turn water into a powerful force capable of propelling up 100% steeper hills, moving 50% more capacity, and delivering 60% more efficiency. With precisely positioned jets along the ride path, BLAST moves boats throughout the ride while also ensuring that not an ounce of water is wasted.
FlyingSAUCERs
Cheetah Chase also features two of ProSlide’s exclusive, award winning, patented FlyingSAUCER turns. The ride feature mimics the experience of a giant slalom ski turn and utilizes the centrifugal forces along the outer wall to propel riders ahead in the race.
Dueling Water Channel Finish
The racing experience extends right to the very end with a side-by-side dueling finish created specifically for Holiday World’s Cheetah Chase. The riders power to the finish line in a head-to-head competition that is experienced throughout the ride from beginning to end.
The combination of the innovative LAUNCH technology, the head-to-head dueling zone, and distinctive water channel finish makes the Launched Dueling RocketBLAST/FlyingSAUCER Water Coaster something the world has never experienced before. Cheetah Chase is the latest in a long history of ProSlide and Holiday World collaborations that change the game in the water ride industry.
By the end of 2020 there will be close to 50 ProSlide Water Coasters installed around the globe.
