LA QUINTA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SplashTacular^® Entertainment, the largest U.S.-based waterslide manufacturer, today announced plans to introduce two new patent-pending rides, 360Rush^™ and SplashRally^™, at three major water park industry trade shows this season. Exhibiting at the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions (IAAPA) Attractions Expo, the World Waterpark Association (WWA) trade show and the National Recreation and Parks Association (NRPA) Congress, SplashTacular Entertainment will present exciting new water-based attractions that represent the forward-thinking company’s pioneering approach to water-leisure entertainment and its more than 15 years of leadership in the market.

360Rush debuts as a high-speed thrill ride that launches two riders simultaneously down steep vertical slides into a wide bowl where riders “chase” each other for several revolutions before landing safely in a shallow braking pool. SplashRally features a six-lane water raceway in a figure-eight layout where racers sit in two- or three-passenger tubes and race to a finish marked by water cannons, posted times and cheering spectators.

“SplashTacular Entertainment looks forward to playing an active role in these three significant events for our business,” said Steve Levine, founder and president of SplashTacular Entertainment. “Trade show participants will have the opportunity to view an exclusive sneak peek of our innovative new waterslides.”
