The splash is what really makes this thing looks nuts!

It's made by Intamin, I'm surprised they don't have OTSR.

What an amazing setup for a water ride.
Just don't hope for a rollback on this ride!
It just doesn't look too reliable.

The lift seems like it could cause a few problems...other than that,  I'm glad Intamin is always pushing the envelope on new ideas.

Just a few problems...


I'm not sure why exactly, but this ride just screams "trouble" and/or "disaster" to me.

It's Intamin... some type of Hybrid... we all know what happened with one of their previous "hybrid flumes"... I'd hate to see something similar happen.

^ I like your theory on the ride thinking it's at the top when it's not  and pushes the car forward. ooops!
