Cutting edge, world's only 4-person "HydroMagnetic Rocket Booster".

Well if anybody would like to see a 3-person "HydroMagnetic Rocket Booster" in action. They only need to go to the Great Wolf Lodges Waterpark and see there cutting-edge water coaster because it’s the same type of water coaster (minus 1 passenger).

Looks like just another big water-slide to me

Looks like fun, I am going to enjoy riding it.

This looks and sounds pretty cool. Can't wait to try it out.

But in essence....every record is just a little more than the last.

Yeah....like Son of Beast?

Exactly.

After all, SOB is the biggest money pit that any park has ever built?

Or something like that. <G>

That looks awesome, I wish KI would put in something like this in Boomerang Bay.

If this goes over well, I wouldn't be shocked in the least to see KI get one... and soon..

^and better.

That freaking looks great! I might just have to make a trip down there.

So is this the same pro slide thing the GWL and Disney have....just its seats one more person?

It is the same Water Coaster that GWL has, Disney’s Crusher n Gusher Water Coaster does not use HydroMagnetic technology to propel the water craft up the hills, Instead they use the good old fashion forward momentum and water jets to blast riders up the hills. Both have good and bad, the HydroMagnetic has seating in the craft and has a hard magnetic bottom, which makes the Water Coaster much faster. Riders usually only get wet from the water sprayed throughout the course.

Verses the lighter water tube, Water Jet propeled types that use single and double water tubes that lets the water come up through the middle of the water tube. The water jets that pushes the water tubes up the hills blasts the riders as well, especially in the butt area and the back of riders heads..

The only similarities that I have noticed is that both water coasters are launched by a operator using a conveyor belt type of technologies. Riders get in their water crafts and when the operator feels it’s safe, they push a button which moves the water craft forward and into the water slide.

When I stayed at the GWL last month , some of the 3 man water coaster crafts could not make it all the way up the second hill. So it seemed to me that every 15 minutes or so the riders would haft to get out of their HydroMagnetic water crafts onto a wooden deck and take the stairs down. For safety reasons the operators would not launch another water craft until the water craft previously launched has cleared the last HydroMagnetic lift hill. The problem with that is the longer the water coaster is the longer it will take to launch another water craft. So the potential of long lines is very high.

Yeah because they can't have have another park nearby with a new and better slide

One owned, in part, by CBS no less.

Called Great Wolf Lodge.

Of course, it does cost a bit more to get in to.

If I had to pick between the two, I think I would pick the older version that Disney has for an outside water park and the faster HydroMagnetic Water Coaster for inside water parks . Because the HydroMagnetic is like riding a wet kiddy coaster which is great especially in the winter months and when space is limited, to give riders that extra coaster thrill. Disney’s Crush n Gusher Water Coaster had three water courses to choose from on the same platform, to me I liked feeling all the water splashing around me as I was being blasted through the up and down water course during the hot summer months. I also like that the water craft was a light water tube that I could control myself a little. The big difference to me is riders per hour when comparing the two types of water coasters systems.

As much trouble as Great Wolf seems to have with theirs, I wonder if this is a harbinger of troubles to come at Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom?

That slide does look pretty cool. I do not consider it a coaster hough because one, you have no restraints, and tw you do not run on a track that is either steel or wood. But nevertheless it would still be pretty cool to ride. I will have to get up to KK to ride it this summer. Hopefully KI will get a wild hair to put one in Boomerang Bay.

When myself Dane, Ryan, and Bill went to the grand opening festivities the slide ran only a little bit in the morning then didnt start running untill about 7 P.M. We went up last tuesday for dinner and the slide was running but it had men in Pro Slide uniforms checking it out.

Hmmm. There are many coasters that originally had no restraints (like Willard's Whizzer at Six Flags Great America and Zambezi Zinger at Worlds of Fun) and some today that still don't (unless it was recently 'upgraded,' one is Tig'rr Coaster at Indiana Beach, another is Leap the Dips at Lakemont). And there has been at least one coaster made of plastic...
