I will *NOT* go on this water slide. Ever.

Even if I was offered incredible amounts of money to do so.

I mean, a 17 story drop?

The nice thing about it being a water slide instead of a roller coaster is that when you wet yourself nobody will notice. Although the water will probably get kind of nasty before long.

If that doesn't kill you, the drop just might.

but if I can get a date with my husband and 2 sons, well it seats 4. You bet, only 60 miles away. We drove to Cedar Point last summer and rode those coasters over and over and over again for 3 days I will let you know how it is

It looks as though you could go airborne on this thing. Pass.

That said, I'm not sure I'll ride it - but I may have to go watch those who are not faint of heart get the crap scared out of them!!

I'd definitely take the elevator, both for the ride up--and the ride down.

Looking at that one, it almost seems like satire.
