 Hernando: State: Water slides unsafe
The Southwest Florida Water Management District, which owns the spring and the surrounding 440 acres, says the slides at Buccaneer Bay are dangerous because the watery landing area in the spring has grown too shallow, causing sliders to injure themselves.
Officials at the water park, which leases from the state agency, say the slides are safe, as long as sliders enter the water "fanny first," lifting their legs as they exit the slide.
The water park and its slides are scheduled for a routine inspection by the the Department of Agriculture on Friday.

 Water slide - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A water slide is a slide or tube with water flowing down it.
Water slides typically run into a swimming pool at the end.
Water slides are popular at water parks, such as the Wet 'n Wild parks located throughout the United States or Sandcastle Waterworld at Blackpool in the United Kingdom and are great alternatives to those who don't like such intense rides at other amusement parks.

 Hernando: Water slide's designer is not negligent
A Hernando County engineer responsible for construction drawings used to build water slides at Weeki Wachee Springs has been cleared from charges that he was negligent in his work for the water park.
At the crux of the complaint were charges made in 2002 that construction drawings were incomplete and lacked specific details for several items needed to construct the slides, including plans for a stairway layout plan and a roof.
Judge Clark ruled that Pedonesi's engineering plans for the slide, which both the engineer and contractor considered a "fast track" project, were complete enough to build the slides properly.

Place the decals (one full sheets’ worth or the equivalent of that) into the water and allow them to sit for a minute or so.

 Halfbakery: Bodyboarding Water Slide
I'm sure that many people have seen the new "Halfpipe" water slides, where you go down, then up, then you drop back down, go back up, etc. I was thinking about combining that and the "Master Blaster" technology to make a bodyboarding water slide.
Aided by jets of flat water being pushed (much like the Master Blaster's water jets which allow the riders to go upwards) at you, you would be able to fly several feet off the ground and do some spins or something.
Beginners could have the water pump slower, so at the end, they'd only be a few feet off the ground, and advanced bodyboarders could have the water pump on full.
