A ride vehicle configured to support a rider down a non-wet lubricated recreational slide, the ride vehicle comprising:

• an elongate body that extends between a first end and an opposite second end, the body including a central core positioned between a top surface of the ride vehicle and a woven mesh layer that forms a bottom surface of the ride vehicle that is configured to contact the non-wet lubricated recreational slide;
• wherein the mesh layer includes a plurality of interstitial openings that define an open area of the mesh layer, wherein the open area of the mesh layer is within a range of between about 35% to about 50%.

A ride vehicle configured to support a rider down a non-wet lubricated recreational slide, the ride vehicle comprising:

• an elongate body that extends between a first end and an opposite second end, the body including a central core positioned between a top surface of the ride vehicle and a woven mesh layer that forms a bottom surface of the ride vehicle that is configured to contact the non-wet lubricated recreational slide;
• wherein the mesh layer includes a plurality of weft threads each having a thread diameter within a range of between 0.1 mm to 0.6 mm and a plurality of warp threads each having a thread diameter within a range of between about 0.1 mm to about 0.6 mm.
