ABSTRACT:
System and method for rotating a roof with water to create a participatory water attraction. The system preferably includes a roof having a friction surface and a support member for supporting the roof. A first conduit may be used to direct water onto the friction surface to cause the roof to rotate in a clockwise direction, and a second conduit may be used to direct water onto the friction surface to cause the roof to rotate in a counterclockwise direction. A valve is preferably used to direct water into one of the first and second conduits while restricting water flow into the other conduit. The valve preferably is adjustable by a participant at ground level. The friction surface preferably includes a plurality of protrusions to facilitate rotation of the roof by providing a contact area for the water directed at the roof. A control system may be used to activate a light system and/or a sound system when the valve is adjusted.
