“Like all things in engineering, the theory is great, but reality always wins,” says our Senior Mechanical Engineer, Brad Williams, as he takes you behind the scenes of how we test our water rides.
In this episode of “WhiteWater Explains,” we show you how we’ve set up the accelerated lifecycle testing of
· a rotary track switch—used to change the direction of travel on a ride
· a lateral track switch—used to allow extended ADA load/unload time for enhanced guest accessibility while keeping the regular line flowing
…and running the tests at the same time!
Let us know if you find this video interesting and what water ride topics you’d like to see next.
