A flume traffic light system which helps management and operators of all types of flumes conform to the latest safety guidelines as issued by the HSE*.

The Aquatic Ride Control uses active electronics to control entry and is suitable for all types of new and existing flumes.

Signals from special launch and run-out sensors control the status of LED traffic lights positioned at the flume launch.

When a rider enters the flume they break an invisible beam and the traffic lights change immediately to red, forbidding entry to further riders.

This method of rider control gives management confidence that the red light will not change back to green until the ride is clear, even if the rider manages to slow themselves down or even stop halfway. This is the reason why timed traffic lights are no longer allowed; they provide no confirmation that the rider has reached the run-out.
