				  shall have the meanings listed, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise or
				  the term is redefined for a specific section or purpose.
"Action wave pool" means a wave pool designed to produce waves
				  that do not exceed four feet in height, measured from trough to crest, and are
				  choppy, with a continuous rolling or bobbing action. Waves are oscillating or
				  standing in nature, produced by cyclic pulsing with little longitudinal or cross
				  flow of water.
"Aquatic activity area" means an area containing aquatic play
				  equipment.
"Aquatic activity deck" means a deck containing aquatic play
				  equipment, which is not intended to retain standing water. Also known as "spray
				  deck," "spray pad," "spray park" or "sprayground."
"Aquatic activity pool" or "activity pool" means an aquatic
				  recreation pool that contains aquatic play equipment.
"Aquatic play equipment" means water related play equipment or
				  devices intended for use in aquatic activity areas. Examples include, but shall not
				  be limited to, rope ladders, hand-over-hand activities, slides, and devices designed
				  to squirt, shoot, spray, dump, discharge, or disperse water intended to come in
				  contact with people for recreational purposes.
"Aquatic recreation pool" means a structure intended to hold a
				  filtered and disinfected water supply, including appurtenances and equipment used in
				  connection therewith, as part of a system for free-form aquatic play and
				  recreation.
"Catch pool" means an aquatic recreation pool at the exit of a
				  water amusement ride, intended to receive riders and provide egress.
"Flotation device" means a device used by patrons to increase
				  buoyancy in water.
"Flume" means a channel or tube for conveying water and providing
				  a path along which a rider is transported.
"Landing area" means an area on the surface of a body of water
				  designated specifically to receive riders.
"Leisure river" means an aquatic recreation pool whose unique
				  feature is the stream of water created by mechanical means, which slowly propels
				  patrons on flotation devices in a flume, which is circuitous and level, or nearly
				  level, along the length of the pool.

				  rope, or handle attached to a rope, that swings said rider from a deck over a catch
				  pool, into which the rider is discharged by releasing the rope or handle.
"Transitional wave pool" or "high wave pool" means a wave pool
				  designed to produce waves exceeding four feet in height, measured from trough to
				  crest, which are uniform across the pool. Waves are moving walls of water, which
				  travel the length of the pool.
"Vehicle" means a device intended for transporting riders on a
				  water amusement ride, on which the rider sits or lies while in transit.
"Water slide" means a water amusement ride utilizing a flume along
				  which a continuous stream of water on the bed lubricates the rider's transport,
				  conveying riders independently or riding on a sled, mat, or inflatable device, which
				  empties into a catch pool or a run-out.
"Wave pool" or "wave action pool" means an aquatic recreation pool
				  that utilizes mechanical equipment to produce waves for recreation.
