1. A waterslide, comprising:

  • an elongated trough defining a rider path proceeding generally from a higher elevation to a lower elevation, the trough having a downward gradient whereby a rider can traverse the path substantially by force of gravity, and at least one downhill section followed by an uphill section;

    a first means for injecting water into the trough adjacent a point of relatively higher elevation of the trough along the path, thereby establishing a gravity flow of water in a forward direction relative to the rider path along the downhill section of the trough toward an area of relatively lower elevation between the downhill section and the uphill section;

    a water extraction means disposed adjacent the area of relatively lower elevation for removing water from the trough.
