Right now slide start pieces do not affect speed. On the body flume, guests move at 13 mph immediately even if the flume start piece has no bar for guests to push off of. I think the start pieces without a bar should have a lower start speed (maybe something like 6mph). Then if we want a faster slide we can use the start pieces with the bar. This would give the different start pieces more purpose as right now the only thing that changes when the bar is added is the animation. Or, a slider could be added in the waterslide's settings for us to change the start speed, much like the exit speed slider for coaster stations.
