Claims6
A sled for an amusement slide comprising a substantially horizontally flat sled with a bottom, top, and sides with a functional contact material on the bottom of the sled comprised of a substantially horizontal plane parallel and attached to the sled bottom, with protrusions extending away from the horizontal plane, wherein the protrusions are configured to facilitate sliding motion of the sled along the slide surface by reducing the friction between the sled and the slide.
A slide for an amusement ride comprising a downward sloping plane comprising a continuous flexible sheet of functional material with protrusions extending generally perpendicular away from the sloping plane.
