=== Loops on non-roller coasters === In 2002, the Swiss company Klarer Freizeitanlagen AG began working on a safe design for a looping water slide.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.eap-magazin.de/index.php?id=127&L=1|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070928033013/http://www.eap-magazin.de/index.php?id=127&L=1|url-status=dead|title=EAP-Magazin.de: Special Feature2|archivedate=September 28, 2007}}</ref> Since then, multiple installations of the slide, named the [[AquaLoop]] and constructed by companies including Polin, Klarer, Aquarena and [[WhiteWater West]], have appeared in many parks. This ride does not feature a vertical loop, instead using an [[Roller coaster elements#Inclined loop|inclined loop]] (a vertical loop tilted at an angle), which puts less force on the rider. AquaLoop slides feature a safety hatch, which can be opened by a rider in case they do not reach the highest point of the loop.
