How does a water cannon boat work?

Imagine a child getting to play a specific character from their favourite anime or movie, where they are the captain of a ship sailing through the waves of the sea. Suddenly, a bunch of pirates from the Caribbean jungle started to attack their ship. But, of course, there is nothing to worry about; the kids are prepared with bunkers, water tanks, and water guns to save their watercraft and loved ones. How does it sound? Fun?

People, especially the kids, always fantasize about the dreamy stories of fairies, pirates, astronauts and warriors. Therefore, the modern entertainment world has built up numerous amusement parks to take the children and their families on a journey to the world of the imagination. From giving the vibes of racing competition with go-karts to letting the visitors feel the experience of naval warfare with bumper boats, the family theme park is perfect for living in the fantasy world for a day.

Water cannons: regular vs theme park editions

Typically, the shape of the cannon looks like a water gun, which we can find in different types of toy shops. It is usually attached to a manual pumping system or electric-generated pump.

The three-layer aluminium material consists of a gun shape. On the bottom part, it has two handles to move quickly. While at the top, the cannon has an aluminium shooting point that flows the water when the switch on the key connects to the lower side.
