Abstract: A slide and ride system are described. A slide is described with a processor comprising ride prediction software configured to use inputs on the rider and slide to predict ride output factors including rider position and speed and to use the predicted one or more ride output factors to direct and adjust an image displayed on the slide interior corresponding to rider speed and position on the slide. The projector used may be configured to display an image on at least part of the slide interior, the image corrected to appear flat when projected by the projector onto the slide interior surface. The slide may also comprise at least one LED strip lighting loop, each loop configured to fit around a slide exterior and project LED light into the slide interior, or LED spot lights configured to spot light the slide interior, the or each LED spot light comprising a prefabricated assembly configured to be fitted to a ring cut into the slide wall, or optionally roof, from the slide interior.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to an apparatus, a system, and a method for detecting and indicating the operational position of a valve of wellsite equipment. The apparatus comprises a mount portion and a housing portion. The mount is operatively coupled to a non-moving part of the valve and the housing portion is configured to receive a sensor therewithin. The sensor is configured to detect the position of a moving part of the valve and to provide an output signal indicative of the position of the moving part of the valve. The position of the moving part of the valve is indicative of the operational position of the valve. The system comprises one or more such apparatus for detecting and indicating the operational position of one or more valves on a wellsite or well pad.
