They manufactured water slides and water slide complexes. HistoryFrom 1975 - 1981, Bill Crandall was the general manager of AstroWorld. In 1979, Crandall partnered with Intamin AG to create the first river rapids ride, Thunder River. After the ride's debut season, 1980, was complete, Crandall decided to start his own consulting business, Crandall & Associates. In January 1984, his company had been contracted to supervise Frontier City amusement park. They developed a water slide attraction called Riptide, which was installed in the park in the fall of 1984. In November 1984, Crandall & Associates founded New Wave Rides, with Riptide as its debut attraction.[1] The company sold its second ride, called Thunder Falls, to Frontier City, which opened in 1985.
