ProSlide, a global leader in water ride innovation, is excited to introduce HIVE™, the world’s first immersive helix water ride feature. Set to debut in 2025, the HIVE™ will bring cutting-edge thrills to Zoombezi Bay (USA), Chimelong Water Park (China), and Radamis (Egypt), redefining guest experiences with speed, storytelling, and innovation.
HIVE™: A Revolution in Water Ride Design
Inspired by the dynamic curves of Formula 1 tracks and the sweeping arcs of the FlyingSAUCER, the HIVE™ transforms water rides into adrenaline-fueled adventures. Its unique helix design offers riders panoramic sightlines and high-speed, high-G spirals, delivering an immersive, high-energy experience.
Available in two configurations—HIVE™ 20 (2-person tubing) and HIVE™ 35 (5-person rafts)—this attraction is designed to captivate audiences of all ages. The seamless integration of visual storytelling and speed creates a ride environment that’s as exhilarating to watch as it is to experience.
Zoombezi Bay: World’s First HIVE™ 20 Installations
Zoombezi Bay, operated by the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium in Powell, Ohio, will host the world’s first two HIVE™ 20 installations as part of its Conservation Tower expansion, opening summer 2025.
Key Features of Conservation Tower:
- The Hive: Two HIVE™ 20 slides featuring dual 360-degree helixes that deliver fast-paced, zero-G moments inside towering beehive structures.
- Mussel Mayhem: A TornadoWAVE 12 / Tornado 18 SwitchBACK combo, offering thrilling action unique to the Midwest.
- Captina Falls: The world’s first RallyRACER with FlyingSAUCER 8s, setting new standards in racing slide design.
Anthony Sabo, Vice President of Zoombezi Bay, shared: “The Hive is not just a water ride—it’s a celebration of the Columbus Zoo’s conservation mission. Guests will experience cutting-edge attractions while supporting conservation efforts locally and globally.”
