BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a water-based gliding play facility, and more particularly to a play facility capable of ascending a slope by a water flow.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, in amusement facilities such as amusement parks, so-called water sliders have been used. The number of amusement facilities that slide along the waterways along with the flow of water from high places to low places has increased. However, the player needs to climb the highest point on the runway, the Start Tower,
From the point of view of installation of amusement facilities, there are cases where the stairs may rise, but it is common to have an elevator, etc. Therefore, the cost of this start tower construction is high, and the start tower is also high. Construction occupies a part of the construction period of the amusement facility. Furthermore, for a player, gliding is only a descent from a high place to a low place, and monotony is not wiped out.

FIG. 9 shows a conventional water slider.
In the side view, 21 is a runway, 22 is a start tower,
23 is a landing pool, and 24 is a player. That is, the player m simply climbs on the start tower 22 and slides with the water flow from the highway to the lowway.
In addition, when there is a branch point in the runway, it is necessary for an assistant to move the player who has entered the branch pool from the runway to one of the branch runways. As described above, in the branched water slider, an assistant is required, and further, the player's willingness to run is neglected.

The runway 21 has a fixed length F
It is generally configured by unit water channels made of RP, and flanges formed at both ends of the unit water channels are sequentially connected to form a gliding channel.

[0005]

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION The present invention resides in such a running facility for a running waterway, which enables a player to run on an ascending slope in the running waterway, and doubles the fun of running. In addition, the player does not necessarily have to climb to the highest position, so that the start tower can be reduced, and the function as a play facility is to be doubled.

[0006]

The present invention adopts the following means in order to achieve the above object. That is, the first aspect of the present invention is to provide a water discharge port in the middle of the runway in a play facility where the player slides by water flowing in the runway, and to change the runner's run by the discharged water. And a water discharge outlet provided in the middle of the gliding waterway toward the gliding direction.

A second aspect of the present invention relates to a unit waterway used in the above-mentioned sliding play facility, and discharges water to the side surface or bottom surface to be the running waterway in the sliding direction of the player. It is a unit waterway with an outlet.

Further, a third aspect of the present invention is to provide a unit water channel having a drainage port on a bottom surface which becomes a gliding water channel.

[0009]

As described above, the first feature of the present invention is that the sliding water passage is provided with a water discharge port in the sliding direction of the player so that the discharging water imparts a sliding force to the player. There is. Therefore, for players in the runway,
Not only does it simply slide down with a simple flow of water, but it can change the running speed along the way, and depending on the case, the player can move from a low place to a high place in the runway. Can be run in reverse.

Then, by incorporating a unit water channel having a discharge port for discharging water toward the gliding direction of the player at an appropriate position of the gliding channel, on the side surface or the bottom surface which becomes the gliding channel, It also brings about a change in the running speed, and also allows the player to run backwards from a low place to a high place in the runway.

Further, by incorporating a unit canal equipped with a drainage port in the bottom of the runway, the extra water flow, for example, low stagnation, can be eliminated from the runway. It is a thing.
