I don't know what they were thinking when they designed it, but I wonder if it's going to have negative g forces. It's thier new water coaster.

Yeah these things have been around for a while now. I remember seeing them on the Discovery Channel

i wonder if this ride is really going to work...

cause the water can't really go away at the bottom of the dips. also all those lifts on a quick speed. they should do those lifts at a speed of 20mph to keep the fun in the ride. Going down makes speed, and if you get slowed extreme down cause of slow lifts, ugh, that sucks then very hard... It's a nice concept only i'd think it would pass of comfort...

They are lifts Dirk they are water propulsion system, you dont stop. The water just fires you up the hill, would suck if you fell out i guess

I've been on something like this before, not amazing ... but it is something to experience. There is no airtime -- just water jets giving you a wedgie.

Oh, THERES AIRTIME. Go to Typhoon Lagoon and ride the 3 rides there.

One of them, I believe the Coconut Crusher has a DOUBLE DOWN. We lifted off the tube for a good second, kind of scary on a water slide.



See that slide in foreground? You come from the left to the right. So you gain speed, then go over the top (which is alot lower than what you came down) and then dive down again. GREAT airtime. I think I got airtime on every slide at some point, but that was literal.

IDK bout that waterslide, but the body slides at CP, the tan ones, really get your ass off the ground, there is one double drop that friggen makes your body jump a foot or two off the tube, it can hurt it you land wrong.

yeah ive been on masterblaster in new braunfels (i live in SA) and its pretty sweet so im gunna defineatly ride it in october when i go to SFNE

The best airtime on a waterslide IMO is probably on The Plunge at Noah's Ark. You go head first down a double down thats about 50 feet tall. Every time I've been on it I get a good foot between me and the slide.[:p]

im not for getting half naked within a huge park and gettin huge wedgies but hey looks fun
