Looks like a great ride!

That's cool, and I feel like it is a lot more expandable than traditional log flumes. You could have more elements - hills and drops - without the problem of having to have a whole lift for each individual one. Great job intamin!

this is insane

Amerikanische Thematisierung schafft es immer wieder, mich sprachlos zu machen. 😍 ~G

Splashdown!

[@olympicbuilder-JHKimaginnering]

I would love to have similar ride but with the bank turn after the launch. It will be a really nice concept

I'm at SWSA in Roblox rn, so this is quite the coincidence

[@lanceflx63]

Ok now what’s an extreme version of this?

[@ryan-uk6jf]

turn off the trims

[@IsaacBohlmann-wr9ni]

It all looks very problematic, and seems like a sad excuse for a real water ride.
