Prototype This! Season 1 Episode 5 Backyard Waterslide Simulator

In Season 1 Episode 5 of Prototype This!, the team takes on the challenge of constructing a Backyard Waterslide Simulator. The goal of the project is to create a slide that can be used year-round, regardless of weather conditions.

The team starts by constructing a basic slide using PVC pipe and tarp, which they test with water. While the slide is fun, it doesn't provide the high-speed, high-thrill ride they were hoping for. To improve the slide, the team turns to technology.

To create a more exciting slide experience, the team decides to build a virtual reality component that will replicate a waterslide experience. They use a PlayStation 3 and a high-definition projector to create the virtual reality simulator, which players can use while riding the slide. The virtual reality simulator includes visuals of a futuristic city to give riders the feeling of flying through the cityscape.

To ensure the safety of riders, the team constructs a variety of safety measures. This includes a braking system that will halt the platform in case of an emergency, as well as a netting system to prevent riders from falling off the slide. They also add a ventilation system to ensure that riders are not breathing in chemicals from the materials used to construct the slide.

To add more excitement to the ride, the team incorporates special effects into the design. This includes misters that will create the feeling of riding through a rain shower, as well as special lighting to enhance the virtual reality component.

After several weeks of designing and building, the team is finally ready to test out the Backyard Waterslide Simulator. They invite friends and family over for a launch party to showcase their creation.

Everyone takes turns riding the slide, experiencing the thrill of high-speed riding and the futuristic visuals of the virtual reality component. The safety measures prove to be effective, with no accidents or injuries.

Overall, the Backyard Waterslide Simulator is a success. The team proves that with technology, it's possible to create a thrilling experience that can be enjoyed year-round. With their creation, they have leveled up the backyard waterslide game, and have provided an unforgettable experience for those who dare to ride.
