Leisure LLP, has been retro fitting flumes for
several years. As the leading company in
their field with possibly the largest
waterslide mould store in Europe, Loyal
Grove Leisure have installed a large majority
of flume slides in the UK and continue to
support and maintain them today.
“Flumes can be configured to suit most
building designs with careful consideration
given towards a water source and the most
suitable route for supply pipework,”
explains Matt. “There are numerous types
of waterslide including fully enclosed
tubes, open slides (more appealing to the
younger children); multi-lane (competitive
family riding) or adrenaline rides such as
kamikaze drop slides, space bowls and
black holes.
“The average life span of a well
maintained flume is approximately 15
years although we still service some that
are several years older. The longevity of
the slide gives each centre the chance to
maximize potential income streams by
maintaining both the internal and external
surface, the addition of interactive
features such as sensor operated traffic
lights, water sprays, lighting, sound,
smoke and even moving images… to
name but a few!” Additional cover prices
can be charged for flume entry and some
flumes have even been sponsored by local
businesses.
