I'd go down that shit in a heartbeat. Summit Plummet at Blizzard Beach was badass to the max.

[Tyche]

Is that the one that's a slide where you ride down on your back and the shit rides up your ass? The one that's modeled to look like a ski ramp? I remember that, and it's bad ass but fucking hurts like hell.

[brisk]

I thought Perilous Plunge at Knotts Berry Farm was awesome. This looks badass.

"So, how do you get to the top?"

Looks more bad ass than the drop itself.

Your image is broken, not hot linking apparently.

Wait, it only goes down?

Not worth my time

[Scythiroth]

That looks frickin awesome. I would ride that if I lived closer.

[Etice]

summit plummit has to be the most intense water ride ever you actually get seperation between your body and the slide down. This looks like its that extreme but in a car/transport thing , where the hell i sthe up ramp though?

[Therin]

Yeah when I saw that picture I was like. . "that's cool, but how the fuck do you get up there?"

As it turns out, it's a massive elevator thing. Pretty neat.

[Epical]

I want to see videos of the water splashback.

There was one like that in Wichita at our old water park (closed now qq), basically you sat on a little bitty sled and go off, and there's a point where the angle gets a whole lot sharper all the sudden and you're airborne for a fraction of a second.


Freaky as hell, I never liked it much.

jesus >.>

[TacoTaru]

I'm scared to death of heights, I think I'd pass out on the fucking elevator up >_>

[Firedemon]

Your asshole would prolly get torn to shit going down that fast too.

I can see the line of gay guys lining up all ready....

Juuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuustt kidddddddddddd--

Not really.

EDIT: Though I did realize this is a boat ride and not a single-man ride.

[Tyche]

I rehosted the elevator image.

[Maguspk]

I stared at the ride trying to figure out how people got to the top, the elevator idea is pretty neat. Looks really fun, I'd hit it.

[brisk]

The elevator concept reminds of MaxGravity in Taiwan. Too bad this one doesn't have the 90 degree hangover before the first drop.
