Abstract (en)
The present invention relates to an amusement and leisure slide configured to explore new thrill possibilities thanks to a long sliding path with a constantly variable slope and a controlled sliding duration. The slide comprises at least one sliding tube (2) forming a three-dimensional curve attached with fastenings (3) to a frame structure (1) having at least one outline frame (1a, 1b) of a predefined shape and a central rotation axis (4) arranged substantially horizontally. The sliding tube includes a first end forming an inlet (7) arranged in vicinity of the central rotation axis (4) of the frame structure (1) and a second end, distinct from the first end, forming an outlet (9) directed to outside the frame structure (1). The curve of the sliding tube (2) is configured to form a sliding path between the inlet (7) and the outlet (9) extending in a volume around the central rotation axis (4) of the frame structure (1), said sliding path being maintained on a variable slope by a rotation of the frame structure about the central rotation axis (4), said rotation being driven by a motor (14).
