I've had the idea for a long time, and thought that i would share it:
it's similar to Drenched at Oakwood, in an oval shape, but has a vertical tilt section. below is how it would work:
1. riders enter the boat and pull down shoulder harnesses.
2. the boat exits the station and climbs the lift hill.
3. at the top, the boat goes down a small drop and around a corner.
4. time for the scary part: the boat goes on to a straight section, then stops. it is locked in place, then the track tilts until it touches the vertical part.
5. it locks on to the vertical section, then water starts flowing down, then the boat is released down the drop. as soon as the boat leaves the tipper section, it starts leveling out, splashing into a lake/pool, and the tipper section unlocks and resets, ready for the next boat.
6. the boat at the bottom exits the slash zone and goes slowly around a corner, then up a small lift hill into the station, and the shoulder harnesses unlock then riders exit the boat.
safety features:
1. usual block system
2. when the tipper section reaches the drop, a sensor detects it and starts the water flow after 5 seconds.
3. when the water reaches the bottom of the drop, a sensor detects it and the boat is released down the drop after 5 seconds.
4. when the boat reaches the bottom of the drop, a sensor detects it and the water stops flowing after 5 seconds, allowing the tipper section to reset.
