Orlando Watersports Complex is located in Orlando, Florida, right off Orange Avenue/527. This facility offers opportunities from the beginner to advanced rider of wakeboarding, water skiing, kneeboarding, and wakeskating. OWC is the only park in the United States that includes two main cableways. The beginner/intermediate cable generally runs 18 mph and can be accurately adjusted from 5 to 36 mph to accommodate the level of rider. In the advanced slider park, wakeboarders and wakeskaters are only allowed due to launch ramps, kickers, flat-bars, table-tops, a-frames, barrels, and the newest addition: a funbox. This cable travels at 20 mph and requires that helmets must be worn. An addition of a shorter cable, the "Indian Rope", allows the rider to attain up to 35 feet of air helping improve rail skills. On September 23, 2009, a 22-year-old man hospitalized in Florida died from a confirmed case of N. fowleri after having contracted it at the Orlando Watersports Complex.

Famous quotes containing the word complex:
“In the case of all other sciences, arts, skills, and crafts, everyone is convinced that a complex and laborious programme of learning and practice is necessary for competence. Yet when it comes to philosophy, there seems to be a currently prevailing prejudice to the effect that, although not everyone who has eyes and fingers, and is given leather and last, is at once in a position to make shoes, everyone nevertheless immediately understands how to philosophize.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
