==21st century water slides== ===Looping water slides=== The first known existence of a looping water slide was at [[Action Park]] in [[Vernon Township, New Jersey]] in the mid-1980s, named Cannonball Loop.

Riders drop from inside a tunnel out into the ride's main element shaped like a funnel on its side. Riders oscillate from one side to the other until they exit through the back of the funnel and into a splash pool. The most common type of funnel is the [[ProSlide Tornado]] which is installed at almost 60 locations around the world dating back to 2003.<ref>{{cite web|title=Tornado Installations|url=http://www.proslide.com/rides_01_inst.php|publisher=ProSlide|access-date=10 December 2010}}</ref> In 2010, WhiteWater West began developing a competing product known as the Abyss, utilizing a raft that holds up to six riders.<ref>{{cite web|title=Abyss|url=https://www.whitewaterwest.com/Abyss.html|publisher=WhiteWater West|access-date=10 December 2011}}</ref> === The Half-Pipe <span class="anchor" id="The-Half-Pipe"></span>=== [[File:Serenan Half Pipe.jpg|thumb|A half-pipe at the [[Serena Waterpark]] in [[Lahnus]], [[Espoo]], [[Finland]]]] Similar to a funnel, a ''half-pipe'' features a slide in which riders oscillate back and forth. However, this style of ride doesn't feature any enclosed sections. On a Waterfun Product Sidewinder or Sidewinder Mini, riders oscillate several times before coming to a rest at the base of the slide. Riders then need to walk off the slide returning their tube to the next riders.<ref>{{cite web|title=Sidewinder|url=https://www.waterfunproducts.com/products/sidewinder.asp|publisher=Waterfun Products|access-date=10 December 2010}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Sidewinder Mini|url=https://www.waterfunproducts.com/products/sidewinder-mini.asp|publisher=Waterfun Products|access-date=10 December 2010}}</ref> A variation of the half-pipe called a ''wall slide'' typically has a steep enclosed section that exits to a wider upward-rising section that the rider then slides back down the other direction to the end of the slide.<ref>{{cite web|title=Boomerango|url=https://www.whitewaterwest.com/boomerango.html|publisher=WhiteWater West|access-date=10 December 2010}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Boomerang |url=https://www.aquarena.com/en/waterslides/tubeslides/boomerang/ |access-date=2023-07-14 |publisher=Aquarena GmbH |language=en-US}}</ref> {{clear}} ===Multi-lane racer=== [[File:The Bro WhiteWater World.JPG|thumb|left|A multi-lane racer at [[WhiteWater World]] on the [[Gold Coast, Queensland|Gold Coast]], Australia]]A ''multi-lane racer'' is a ride where between 4 and 8 riders dive head-first onto a mat and down a slide with several dips.
