The Sinking of the Scooby Doo Boat

[sheikra_rocks]

I wasn't sure where to put this, but I figure trip reports would be fine.

So

is a POV of the ride. We did not take this btw.

As some of you may know, a group of us went to St. Louis 2 weeks ago. This is the story of us sinking the Scooby ride.

So anyway, Adam, Shawn, Aaron, and myself head back into the park after lunch. We decide to use our exit pass to ride this since the coasters didn't have long lines.

The boats are big enough for 4 people. 2 in the front and 2 in the back. These boats are TINY. So we are ushered to the side of the boat, and was instructed to get in. Adam and Shawn in the front, me and Aaron in the back. We grab out blasters, the flume like brakes are lowered, and we HIT THE BOTTOM!

Adam and I were instructed to switch seats. Now I was in front with Shawn and Adam was in back with Aaron. Brakes lowered again, we HIT BOTTOM again.

Now I am thinking, I am NOT about to take the walk of shame from THIS ride with God and everyone watching!

Finally, the ride attendant motioned for me to scoot toward the center. Brake lowered yet again, and we scooted off. Once we got to the ride channel the current moved more swiftly, and it was a nice ride. I noticed some scenes from our old version of SDATHC, and some different ones.

Turned out to be a nice ride.

The term "sinking" is used lightly. I know we did not take on water, but the fact that we hit bottom is worthy of the term.

It looks like they really did a good job on the ride.

They did. And I feel much better now.

My heart sank when I read the topic title...and I was afeared it really had happened, literally.

Not unlike, say, the one time boat on the island at Carowinds...which was assimilated.
