Leading wave machine specialist Murphy’s Waves has unveiled a new surfing attraction for waterpark owners. StingRay allows participants of all board sports – including surfers, skim boarders, wake boarders, snow boarders and even skate boarders – to practice and develop their skills …or simply show off to other waterpark guests!
Everything from general fun and play by young kids through to “hardcore” competition events are possible on the same machine due to its variable flow rates and nozzle angles. A soft padded ride surface ensures, meanwhile, optimum safety and comfort for all users.
According to Murphy’s YU KIDS BY BLD ORIENTAL
Designed and manufactured in Japan since 1998, Yu Kids play systems are a combination of more than 30 different attractions for young children designed to fit any given location, big or small. Any combination of glittery or pastel coloured elements can be incorporated including climbing trees, spinning dolphins, wave riders, spinning balls, dancing balloons, climbing kaleidoscopes and waterfall slides

OCTOBER 2008
Waves’ Jim Stuart, Stingray is priced well below other water flow rides, and is supplied without any complex contracts or usage
restrictions. There’s just one problem – keeping people off it! “The lifeguards when left alone play on it in lieu of cleaning the pools!” reports Bill Ernst of Manhattan City Park in New York, where a prototype machine is installed. “It really is a great attraction and Manhattan Park finished the fiscal year in the black even though they only had the ride open for six weeks. That has not happened in over 25 years.” Murphy’s Waves will be participating in this month’s World Waterpark Association Trade Show in Texas.

The Mach 5 popper is the latest version of a popcorn machine originally introduced over 75 years ago and is available in five sizes. Fully equipped with two heat lamps, it also includes two halogen lights, providing increased visibility. The one-piece kettle design prevents oil leakage and the rust-free design maintains a good image. Optional controls include a salt/sweet switch and “One-Pop” control, which heats the kettle, pops the corn and turns the kettle off straight after. An integrated pump, automated bag filler and LED sign are other options.
