I don't normally get too excited about water park rides, but this looks AWESOME. It's like The Voyage of water slides.

If Holiday World can slap some LIMs on a water slide I want my launched B&M hyper. :lol:

In all seriousness, though, that looks like a whole lot of fun. I wish I could afford to road trip cross country and visit these parks you guys post here. One day... one day...

Thats awesome, I have always liked the launched water slides ever since I first saw master blaster... This seems to take it to a new level. Its amazing how much water slide technology has improved. I watched extreme waterparks the other day and some of the waterslides are fantastic, I am sure this one will be on the next edition of the show.
