You have to rent tubes for the slides! That will just be stupid.
Also: You can see the Bahama Mama and Bubba tubba are going up! I can't wait for april 30th.
I know it says something about renting tubes for a fee, but I don't think it mentioned for the slides. I think they were just reading too much into it, but I want confirmation.
DejaVu "Noah's Ark makes renting tubes optional and you really only need them for the wave pools." The Ride
There is 1 or 2 slides i think Big Bubba Tub were you need tubes, or are they supplying those. or am i totally wrong, one of the picks shows people in a big multi person tube going down an awsome slide
Don't believe everything you read on the internet. The tubes from the tube slides most likely will not have to be rented.
The Tube rentals at almost all waterparks is for the wave pool and sometimes the Lazy River. I have never seen a waterpark have you rent tubes for the slides, so im 99% sure that won't be the case at Great America.
I would hope not!! See maybe I am used to waterpark hotels... I did not know that some other waterpark charge a rental fee for tubes for lazy river or wavepools. Good thing for me to know now.
I didnt believe it off a website IVE BEEN to Noah's Ark. we had to rent the tubes for most rides. when we entered Noah's Ark you got 1 token which gave you 1 free tube rental. all other tube. you used that same tube all over the park for rides you needed them at. some slides had tubes you didnt need to rent but you had to wait in a longer line.
am i the only one foergin to this tube rental thing? all of then water parks i've been to you didnt need to rent tubes! you just went, picked a tube, and went on the ride
not all places do it, but some places will make you rent a tube for attraction that do not need a tube. however, if an attraction requires it (tube slides) I've never seen a park make you pay for a tube. they generally have speciality tubes for those attractions anyway, so that they can't get mixed in with the general tubes.
I don't have a detonator; its on a timer.
A countdown timer?
No, a count-up timer. It goes from one to explode.
They might have the option where you can rent a tube so you aren't searching for one whenever you need it. It's like that @ Magic Waters, but otherwise there are tubes that are around for publice use.
I think Bahama Mama and Big Bubba Tub are going to require special tubes. Since they are family rides, they will fit more people than the normal tubes. And you can see on the map of Hurricane Harbor on the website that there seems to be a lift back up to the top for the tubes.
My question is why would they make you rent a tube for the slides if the one tube slide complex has a tube lift? The lift is to lift up the tubes for the riders, rather than having to carry them. It also just doesnt make sense to MAKE people rent tubes to ride on the slides.
Universal Orlando Mechanical Engineer Marathon down, Goofy to go.
Does anyone know if tubes will be allowed in the wave pool? I've heard of parks banning tubes in the wave pools because if you get enough people in there, people can get trapped under the tubes and drown under the waves.
Well, Magic Waters had problems with lifeguards being able to see under and around the tubes in the wave pool(they were yellow.) Then they ordered clear see through tubes to fix the problem.
They also limit the number of tubes in the wave pool. When it gets too crowded, lines form outside the entrance areas.
No they will not charge for tubs that you need on the slides or the lazy river. But, there will be limited number for FREE tubs, so if you want to by pass waiting for a tub then you can rent one. Also, some attractions will require a special tub so you will not be able to use the tub you rented.
^That's an easy way to make money. I guess I can't be too mad because I'm probably going to stick to the main park in my Pitiful 2 times i'm probably going this season.
Its fairly self explanitory. It's where you rent tubes for slides or wave pools. Some parks offer tubes for free and others charge for them (as a way for extra revineu).
I hope they dont make everyone exit the wave pool once a hour like they have done at SF parks like SFSTL!!!!
They havent done that when i have been ay Noah's Ark or Paramolunt parks but they have done that at SF parks i have been too.
