New type of water park equipment – glass drifting slide
Introducing a new type of water park equipment – the glass drifting slide.
Grasp the slide rails on both sides with your hands, press the slide wall with your feet, lean forward to control your speed, and scream as you descend the glass drifting slide. As you slide down, you can see the scenery beneath you through the glass, giving the sensation of walking on a cliff without support, like a gecko or a knight, using the wind to speed down. It’s an exhilarating experience.
The total length of the pure glass slide in the Dayudu scenic area exceeds 500 meters, with a drop of 100 meters. It combines extreme high-altitude challenges, leisure, entertainment, and transportation, making it a unique tourism and leisure project. The project features a 60-meter-long high-altitude glass bridge and the largest glass viewing platform in Shanxi Province, spanning 420 square meters. From this vantage point, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the scenic spot.
1. The drop difference on the glass slide is 100 meters. It is currently the longest in the world.
This slide is 1,260 meters in length, entirely made of tempered glass. The horizontal distance between the upper and lower stations is 780 meters, with a drop of 100 meters, making it the longest in the world. To manage this 100-meter drop, we designed five 360-degree giant slaloms and a 20-meter time tunnel. It’s a unique experience, drifting in the oxygen bar and through a sea of flowers. Many tourists have remarked that drifting over the oxygen bar and through the sea of flowers is the most thrilling experience of their lives.
2. The glass slide subverts the ordinary drifting concept.
From a distance, the blue and white glass slide resembles a dragon winding through the central peaks of the scenic spot, passing through mountains, jungles, and the valley of flowers, and through the time tunnel. The experience is exciting and unparalleled, a magical short-lived glass drift. Unlike general drifting projects, which are relatively slow and filled with stones, our glass slide offers a fast and thrilling ride. The slide’s turns make it different from the usual straight drifting, providing an exhilarating experience that subverts the traditional drifting concept.
3. The glass slide is open, and the number of tourists in a single day exceeds one thousand.
The Huaxi Valley is located in the deep mountainous area of Taihang, 110 kilometers northwest of Shijiazhuang, at an altitude of 800-2150 meters, adjacent to Wuyuezhai National Forest Park, covering a total area of 20 square kilometers. The valley is blessed with natural resources such as forests, mountain springs, grasslands, and gardens. Since the park opened in July 2015, the annual number of tourists has reached 780,000. After the opening of this glass drifting slide, the ticket price during the trial operation period is 80 yuan per person. This rafting attraction is very appealing to tourists and has significantly increased the popularity of the scenic spot, with the maximum number of drifters in a single day reaching 3,000.
