Cyclone

The Cyclone is one of the largest funnel slides in the world and, with its gigantic diameter, provides an impressive sliding experience. In a 4-person tire, guests glide through a steep access road directly into the huge funnel. There the guests will experience spectacular changes of direction and the feeling of weightlessness. This is a real highlight for any kind of adventure pool.

With its diameter of maximum 19 metres, the Cyclone is the XXL version of the classic funnel slide. The sliders first reach high speed on a GRP access slide. After that, they start diving into the wide-open funnel shape. In the bowl, the boat oscillates from wall to wall by creating extremely intense rocking moments. The final outlet is designed to be safe and comfortable. The Cyclone is particularly suitable for groups and families because the common riding experience is paramount. The slide is both visually and functionally a crowd pleaser. Modern lighting effects, projections inside the funnel and sound features increase the intensity of the experience. The slide may be integrated into the already existing facilities. As an alternative, it can be implemented as a separate attraction. Thanks to its striking shape, this slide is also an eye-catcher from a distance. This makes it ideal for applications in the leisure branch.

Costs and Purchase

This depends on the following aspects:

TheCostsfor a water slide vary depending on the product, location and scope of the provided services. A simple indication of costs is not feasible, as each project is individually evaluated and offered. The construction costs can be broken down into different services in order to enable a detailed cost statement.

The costs depend on several factors, including the following ones:

  • Size and length of the slide
  • Material (stainless steel or GRP)
  • Additional functions (for example: LED lighting, virtual reality)
  • Location and installation effort

For an individualofferwe create a tailor-made calculation.

Scope of services

Upon request, when purchasing a water slide, the customer not only receives the slide itself, but also stairs, towers, start and run area as well as potential special effects. The delivery also includes the entire planning documents and, of course, the applicable guarantees. In addition, a TÜV certificate for operational readiness can be issued. Static calculations and technical requirements for water technology are planned by us while the foundations as well as the water technology are usually provided by the customer.

Global market and its fluctuations

Choosing betweenGRPandStainless steeldepends on many factors. Although stainless steel can be slightly more expensive to purchase, the follow-up and maintenance costs are much lower, and the service life is longer than that of GRP when properly maintained. On the other hand, GRP moulds can be shaped individually and also offer a higher degree of design freedom in terms of visual presentation. This can be a key success factor. For this reason, it is not clear which material is the best choice.

Stainless steel

Stainless steelis almost maintenance-free if it is used and cared about properly.GRPon the other hand, is more susceptible to damage from sunlight and mechanical wear. For this reason, an annual maintenance is mandatory. As a consequence, stainless steel offers advantages in terms of maintenance costs as well as in terms of durability.

From China to Cuba

Yes, Wiegand water slides are sold worldwide. We are in many countries, from China to Cuba, and have an extensive network to for the global distribution and installation of the slides. From here you can reach ourReference Projects.

Go to the orientation

If you purchase a water slide, the construction situation on site is the first criterion determining what is feasible. It is important to select the correct product, check the statics and construction options, calculate the production times and construction costs and finally plan the implementation. A careful planning and a consideration of all factors is critical to the success of the project. For this reason, professional advice and concrete planning is recommended.

It depends

Our slides are designed to have a long service life and low maintenance costs. Their profitability depends on the number of visitors, water and energy costs as well as maintenance costs.

The payback period depends on the operating costs and on the frequency of visitors. The operators usually expect a payback period of around 5 years.

Go to the orientation

Yes, in addition to water slides, we also manufactureDry Slidesmade of stainless steel, including, for example, escape slides, playground slides, large slides and much more. The areas of application range from amusement parks to shopping centres to office buildings. Go directly to the manufacturer of dry slides:www.wiegandslide.de

Construction and Features

With Wiegand's professionals

The manufacture of water slides depends on the specific requirements of the customer and the chosenmaterial. There are two main materials: stainless steel and glass fibre reinforced plastic (GRP), which are produced in Wiegand's own plants in Rasdorf and Brüssow in Germany. With over 350 employees worldwide, the company ensures that the slides are pre-produced in the best possible way in order to minimize assembly times at the site. Theconstructionis carried out internally in regular coordination with the project management, the customer and theproduction.

With water

A water slide uses an inclined plane and smooth materials such asGRPorStainless steelto allow low friction downward movement. The running water and sometimes rubber tires or mats help to further reduce friction so that one or more people can have a sliding experience at the same time. The speed is determined by the slope of the slide, with classic slides such as theWR1040which usually have a gradient of up to 13%. 

Eine Frau und ein Kind fahren lachend in einem Rutschreifen auf der Wasserrutsche RR2050.
Above 50 km/h possible

The slide speed on a water slide varies depending on the slide type and design. Cozy slides such as whitewater rivers reach speeds of about1–2 km/hwhile steeper high-speed slides can reach over50 km/h. The speed is influenced by various factors, including the slope of the slide, the amount of water and special design elements.

We customize the said parameters to allow for different slide experiences, from the gentle family slides to action-packed adrenaline rides.

Almost vertically possible

The steepness of water slides can vary considerably. The most extreme form is theFalling startwith a gradient of over 80°, which changes from an almost vertical start to a smoother slide. In contrast, whitewater rivers are almost horizontal. Generally speaking, the steeper the slide, the faster the slide speed.

It depends

TheConstruction periodof a water slide cannot be specified as a flat rate, as this period depends on the size of the slide, the production utilization and the construction phases. As a rule, you should expect several months from project planning to completion. For some projects, such as for example cruise ships, planning can take several years. The assembly time varies between a few days and several months depending on the type of slide.

From the bottom to the top

The construction of a water slide begins with the preparation of the foundation. Depending on the site structure, support pylons and stairs are then erected, followed by the assembly of the outlet basin. The slide itself is usually assembled from the bottom to the top. This is done by our own assembly teams and auxiliary workers on site.

Service and maintenance

Regular inspection and maintenance

Our GRP water slides require regularMaintenanceaccording to the standard DIN EN 1069. Our service team carries out annual inspections, repairs, cleanings and upgrades to increase safety, performs professional cleaning and repairs slides regardless of the manufacturer. We will be glad to draw up a maintenance contract with you. Request service now.

Safe and standard-compliant operation

The operation of a water slide requires compliance with the DIN EN 1069 standard as well as regular safety tests. The operators must carry out maintenance, ensure water quality and check the slide system for damage. Emergency procedures and clear safety instructions for guests are also required.

Material stress due to poor water quality

The water quality has a direct influence on the longevity as well as on the preservation of the slide materials. Too high chlorine or salt contents can accelerate the corrosion in metal parts such asStainless steeland can attack surfaces ofGRP slides. For this reason, careful monitoring and regulation of water chemistry as well as regular maintenance are essential to minimise material wear and to extend the life of the slide.

Thorough cleaning required

The regularCleaningof GRP (glass fibre reinforced plastic) slides is essential for their durability and safety. OurService - Teamoffers professional cleaning services for your slides, both indoors and outdoors. Damaged areas are polished and the slides are thoroughly cleaned, especially before commissioning at the beginning of the season. For optimal care, we recommend carrying out these cleaning measures on a regular basis.

Professional cleaning recommended
