Warning for Not so Family Raft Slide

Talk about anything that has to do with Six Flags Great America and Hurricane Harbor here.

For the orange and purple slide, they are now only allowing 2 people on it. Three kids wanted to go on it, and they said only 2 people. It doesn't matter who because now it's only 2 people until they change the rule again. This ride makes no sense whatsoever. The reason why the thing would tip (and I seen it happen) is because people move forward in the raft. So, you do Indian style sitting on this thing, and when people move forward, guess what can happen easily? If all the weight gets pushed towards one side, the thing might easily tip.

The sitting on this thing makes no sense. They should have all the weight all over the place. That's why you spread your legs out on the Tornado, and the new one at Magic Waters. Thus, it would never tip if you have your legs extended because your bodies all over the place. That's why in every waterslide in the nation, you have your feet extended. Poorly operated park. Too dumb to figure out why it's happening (why it tips).

And are they enforcing this at every park that has one? (Is this like the kiddie raft rides?)

Just Six Flags Great[Horrible] America, from what I understand.

A furious storm once roared `cross the sea, catching ships in its path, helpless to flee. Instead of a certain and watery doom, the winds swept them here to Typhoon Lagoon!

Ohhhhhhh (wish someone said that in the first place). How long have they been running without any problems, ever since Hurricane Harbor opened? Well that just kinda sucks then.

This might be only for the purple and the orange slide though (as this one is much more intense), and not the green, and blue one. They weren't saying anything when we went on the green and blue one, but yet there was barely a line for that one.

I'm not a fan of the waterpark. The wettest i get is on Bucaneer Battle (Best Water Ride in the park). I just don't do well in pools.
