Riptide Bay Media Day

[FParker185]

We nearly got Deluge from SFKK, there were trucks lined up to haul it away but the fair board was able to lock the gates just in the nick of time. Anyone want to take a guess where the rest of our waterpark expansion was originally destined to go?

Anyways, I'm sure HH will get a watercoaster in the coming years, if I had to guess probably the proslide LIM model. They can be made to fit in tight places.

Yankee Clipper, Roaring Rapids and Logger's Run do not qualify as water coasters?

Nope. Water coasters are innertubes that get propelled by jets of water in lieu of belts/chains/etc. They also go thru the same water filters regular slide water goes thru, so a lined bathing suit is required. Anyone know if water on the dry side is even filtered?

[FParker185]

most Water Coastrers you can ride in street attire, Deluge was an example of that as it was part of the dry park during parts of the year. But the rest is true.

The water in the flumes and rapids I don't think is filtered other than running though a few grates/screens before being pumped, mainly though so the pumps don't suck up random crap in the water causing damage. Water at most parks though is chemically treated with one notable exception, other than Snake River Falls and probably the new flume at Cedar Point the rest of their water rides use/used straight up lake erie water. Nothing like the smell of rotten fish and lake erie in general to accompany you the rest of the day

No, YC and LR are Arrow Log Flumes and RR is an Intamin Rapids Ride

GROSS does that mean that they use that water in Soak City

[FParker185]

Never been in it, but I'm almost positive Soak City uses chlorinated city water, or at least treated lake water (one in the same I suppose) for the waterpark.
