tedten Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Go watch the POV on Holiday World's website! I think even the members here who didn't want the watercoaster will be happy with this addition. It looks amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pianojohn Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 It looks AWESOME! Now if someone in Orlando (hint hint Aquatica) would drop some $$$ and build one to rival Crush n Gusher, we would be happy campers down here! Â I think a HW trip is long overdue for me next summer. Too early to start planning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginzo Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 This does look rather nice. Maybe I'll have to hit up HW next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VegasCoaster Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 This looks amazing! I've heard good things about the other LIM Rocket slides, and with the location and the layout of this one it looks like it'll be a contender to take down Master Blaster.

gatorchomp83 Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 This ride looks AMAZING! Â What would be even better is if they had it open for night time ERT during Holiwood Nights next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emiroo Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 I'm very excited about this one but can anyone out there comment about the capacity and typical throughput of this type of ride? Â I have a feeling it's going to load slower than Zinga, Zoombabwe and Bakuli all of which almost always have 30min-1hr+ waits. I think this is a fantastic addition, but the next thing HW puts in the waterpark desperately needs to be a real people eater. (Much like jungle racers is). Â Splashin' Safari's capacity is growing quite impressively, but so are average wait times... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Maven Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 I wonder how the LIMs with a water coaster tube would work... hmmm.... Â It's my understanding that each 4-person raft will contain a 150-pound slab-o-steel. (So much for magic...we're playing with really big magnets.) Â Thanks for all your encouraging words.

Raven Maven Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 I'm very excited about this one but can anyone out there comment about the capacity  Based on 20-second dispatch and full rafts, 720/hour.  Thanks, Paula Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgodsey Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Paula, Â Do you know what the weight limit per raft will be? Just curious to see how many adults I will be able to cram into this thing in May! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emiroo Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Website says 800lbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PKI Jizzman Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Hm....single rider line? Ya know, to fill all those rafts! Â I'll be visiting Saturday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
testtrack321 Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Hm....single rider line? Â That'd be nice, but all the rides I've seen a properly single riders line implimented can be counted on one hand... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airtime&Gravity Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Looks like another great addition for the park. I've only heard great things about these rides, and this one looks to be the best yet. I'm not a big water park person, but if I go to Holiday World next year, I just might have to go into Splashin' Safari. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xcastn0shad0wx Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 I never caught on to what Paula was trying to say/hint at with "gnu ride"...any ideas or am I just mentally challenged an it is obvious? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atem122 Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Can you say TAKE THE TUNNELs? Â That ride looks like another great addition to HW, they really can't seem to do anything wrong these days, too bad I will never have the money to get out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiSab Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Underground tunnels on a water slide?? Hell yes! Â Seriously, HW knows how to do it. Without a doubt one of the best-run parks around, and one of the most fun to visit. This ride will only make SS better. I can't wait to see it go vertical. Terrain water coaster = awesomely epic.

thrillerman1 Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 I didn't get to watch the whole announcement, but is the dry side of the park receiving anything next year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorkscrewFoley Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Holiday World sure knows how to cater to us...with more tunnels...yee-e-ah! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterLover Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 I never caught on to what Paula was trying to say/hint at with "gnu ride"...any ideas or am I just mentally challenged an it is obvious? Â "Gnu" (procounced like "new") is another name for a Wildebeest... Â The wildebeest (plural wildebeest, wildebeests or wildebai), also called the gnu, is an antelope of the genus Connochaetes. It is a hooved (ungulate) mammal. ~ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wildebeest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParkTrips Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 That'd be nice, but all the rides I've seen a properly single riders line implimented can be counted on one hand... .. and they are all in Florida... Â This thing looks cool as hell, *I* would probably go back to the park for this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
