RollerNut Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 Oh My Skytower! Tube slide or body slide? 1 Quote
NoChickens Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 It said with 3 of your friends, so I'll assume tube. Quote
Existential Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 The stairs sure will be the best part! Quote
flightoffear1996 Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 That is alot of stairs to climb. A good way to get American into shape. 5 Quote
thedevariouseffect Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 I can't wait to maybe see a mega sized water ride. Could you imagine 200+ foot slide...that's intense 1 Quote
TheCrypt Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 So is this the world's tallest or highest water slide? 2 Quote
LoraX Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 That looks crazy. The stairs would suck. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote
Creed Bratton Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 I honestly want to see a POV from the park on this slide. I'd never ride it, so virtually would be okay! One thing about the stairs, it doesn't look like you'd have to carry your tube up them with the belt on the side. 2 Quote
Thrill_Biscuit Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 Well, maybe the stairs won't suck that much, given how slowly riders will likely be ascending them. I remember when "Tazmanian Typhoon" opened 10 (!!!) years ago, the stairs on that comparably stubby attraction seemed formidable, only to realize that it was really just a "vertical" queue line, with all its wonderful, trademark slowness. 1 Quote
BB1 Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 I learned of this months ago, and have been keeping up with it ever since. The slide itself is huge for any standard, it is definitely pushing the limits. On a side note, there's a blog about this standards idea here: http://coaster-net.com/blogs/428-the-waterpark-revolution/ It's not finished yet, being part 1, but still a good read for the mean time. 1 Quote
Youthere Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 Imagine getting to the top and being told you can't ride...or having to use the bathroom! 2 Quote
Creed Bratton Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 Imagine getting to the top and being told you can't ride...or having to use the bathroom! You'd go on the way down the slide! 5 Quote
thedevariouseffect Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 Hence, brown colored swimwear in case number one or two 3 Quote
