Abstract: A water slide includes a blind tube portion having a blind tube opening on a front end of the blind tube portion that is adjacent to the tubular slide portion of the water slide. The opening is closed by a transparent peripheral wall segment of the tubular slide portion, which extends in the sliding direction as well as in the peripheral direction of the tubular slide portion. The transparent peripheral wall segment may be curved in the peripheral direction and preferably fits into the shape of the tubular slide portion. Like the tubular slide portion, the blind tube portion may include a peripheral wall, for example, being closed on the periphery. The blind tube portion may include a dead end. The longitudinal extent of the blind tube portion is preferably much shorter than that of the tubular slide portion.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a water slide system including an at least partly translucent or transparent slide tube which may be circumferentially closed and in which a slide surface that can be wetted with liquid extends in a slide direction. Lighting features that are visible from the interior of the slide tube are arranged on the outside of the slide tube in order to achieve optical effects in the interior of the slide tube. According to an aspect, the lighting features are pixels, for example LEDs, which are arranged in a matrix of at least one screen module. The screen module may be in the shape of a shell that extends on the outside of the slide tube and over a circumferential portion of the slide tube and which can be actuated in order to display movable two-dimensional or stereoscopic images, which may be curved in the circumferential direction.
