Dartron Industries Lite Slide

History of The Dry Slide

The dry slide has been manufactured in Salem, Oregon since 1973 and has been manufactured by Dartron for almost two decades. The dry slide has a long tradition as a family favorite at fairs, festivals, parks and family fun centers. Few rides have maintained such a high level of popularity over such a long period. The Dartron Dry Slide is the ultimate family ride enjoyed by young children, teenagers and adults often at the same time.

The Dartron Park Model Slide has a long history of successful and safe operation in parks and family fun centers.

“I have had the Park Model Slide in my Park since 1989. It is as popular now as when purchased new. It has provide the best return on invested dollars of all the rides I have purchased.”
- Scott Simpson, Owner of Playland Park in Ocean City, New Jersey

“The slide was purchased in 1990 and is still very popular. It is safe, inexpensive to maintain and contributes significantly to our revenue. The dry slide is one of Oaks Park’s best investments.”
- Joe Norling, General Manager of Oaks Park in Portland, Oregon
