WhiteWater West Industries Ltd., has now built 100 AquaLaunch capsules, which launch riders—via trapdoor entry—into a number of the company’s waterslides installed around the world.

The launch system has evolved over the past five years, including updating the fibreglass trapdoor to a clear Lexan (polycarbonate sheets) that is free swinging to reduce noise, while also eliminating the need for shock absorbers. It has also become more automated with the addition of a push-button operated door.

“We have worked hard over the years upgrading the quality and durability of the launch parts,” said the company’s operations manager of electrical and mechanical assembly, Mike Genovese. “The esthetic design has also been updated to be more visually appealing and provide a streamlined appearance.”

The AquaLaunch, which was first manufactured in 2009, is constructed at the company’s facility in British Columbia to allow engineers and managers to closely monitor and responde quickly should issues arise during the production process.

In 2015, seven AquaLaunch systems will be installed in China’s largest waterpark called the Zhengzhou Yinji Kaifeng Waterpark in Henan.
