Abstract: A water ride apparatus is shown and described including a tensioned layer supporting an inflatable layer. The combination of the tensioned layer and inflatable layer showing surprisingly improved impact resistance and performance characteristics for a ride surface.

Abstract: Systems and methods described herein include an inflatable floating water attraction system for generating a wave. Exemplary embodiments also include a power and nozzle module for use with a water attraction system.

Abstract: A system, apparatus, and method for constructing or providing a ride surface for an amusement attraction, such as an inflatable surfing attraction. The ride surface may be formed via the connection of a plurality of ride surface portions or segments. A mechanism may be incorporated to smooth the ride surface and define a more continuous ride surface between the plurality of ride surface portions or segments.

Abstract: A water or other amusement attraction that includes an inflatable portion or material. A cavity of the attraction is located underneath an upper surface, the upper surface configured to support a flow of water and at least one rider thereon. A volume of water is configured to be disposed within the cavity, the upper surface floating upon the volume of water while connected to at least one side wall, floor, and/or nozzle structure. A pump and nozzle assembly, positioned outside of the cavity, communicates with the water within the cavity for flowing a portion of the water over the upper surface. A drainage portion, adjacent to the upper surface, drains the flowing water back into the cavity for recirculation. Support components, such as a plurality of beams or an inflatable grid structure help maintain stability for the attraction.

Abstract: A system, apparatus, and method for constructing or providing a ride surface for an amusement attraction, such as an inflatable surfing attraction. The ride surface may be formed via the connection of a plurality of ride surface portions or segments. The ride surface may be connected via fastening elements that are disposed at an elevation different from that of the top or other surface that is to be used by riders during operation. Cut-outs and/or extrusions within one or more of the ride surface portions or segments may aid in preventing disruptive forces from fluid or water during operation from acting to separate the ride surface portions of segments making up the ride surface. Additional fastening mechanisms may be employed in addition to such fastening elements to further aid in increasing durability.
