## Abstract

According to the waterslide system of the present invention, a rider enters to a spiral path at a entry gradient of a starting gradient, moves against the gravity at a 360° rotational axis and leaves from an exit gradient of a starting gradient by accelerating opposite direction of the entry speed from a peak point.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A waterslide system for amusement purposes and providing rider's helical movement, comprising:
at least one starting gradient providing entry of a rider to the waterslide system at a speed under a predetermined threshold force and exit after completion of a movement along a 360° rotational axis,
a spiral path configured for providing entry of the rider to the waterslide system at a speed under a predetermined maximum threshold force and exit after completion of the movement along the 360° rotational axis,
at least one peak point configured for decreasing a rider's speed to zero after completion of a movement against the gravity along the 360° rotational axis and speed up at the opposite direction by a 180° rotational movement.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The waterslide system according to claim 1, wherein each starting gradient has a peak point at a vertical height between 1000 mm to 5000 mm.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The waterslide system according to claim 1, wherein the waterslide system allows the rider to enter at the speed under the predetermined maximum speeding threshold force to the spiral path from an entry gradient at the at least one starting gradient.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The waterslide system according to claim 1, wherein the waterslide system allows the rider to enter the waterslide system from an entry gradient and exits from an exit gradient using a same path after completion of the movement along the 360° rotational axis.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The waterslide system according to claim 1, wherein the spiral path is configured for the rider to complete the movement against the gravity and a downhill movement from the peak point.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The waterslide system according to claim 1, wherein a primary path section is a component of the spiral path, and the primary path section allows the rider to move along the 360° rotational axis against the gravity at a longer edge of the spiral path.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The waterslide system according to claim 6, wherein a secondary path section is a component of the spiral path, and the secondary path section allows rider's movement from the peak point speed up and move again across an exit gradient and is disposed at a shorter edge of the spiral path.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The waterslide system according to claim 7, wherein the primary path section and the secondary path section have an inclination angle between 5° to 85° with the ground.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

The waterslide system according to claim 8, wherein two spiral paths are configured for rider to move between the starting gradient to the peak point and back from the peak point to the starting gradient flowing with a mirror image symmetrical flow.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The waterslide system according to claim 1, wherein the waterslide system further comprises at least one additional spiral path, and at least two mirror images interposed between the starting gradient and the peak point.
