Pat you expect us to believe that you don't nap???LOL

 

Nope, I like my job way too much!!LOL

 

You can watch movies and goof off on FTE all day, but no naps??

Now there is a man with integrity...

 

About two weeks ago I was watching a show called Extreme Waterparks and they spent the hour of the show going from the dream to the final product of this. It was interesting watching the test slide that they built in Texas with some of the "failures" of the rafts.

 

You do realize that after they built the real thing and it was certified as being the tallest slide in the world, they took about 3/4's of it down and flattened out the initial drop and decreased the angle on the uphill side of the second hill to keep the rafts in the ride.

 

That's me, Mr. Integrity......

Yeah, the rafts would take off from that lower dip lile a plane!!

 

Some of the Extreme rides are like beating your thumb with a hammer.....

Yep.......It is sooooo wonderful once it is over........

 

I think Roy is just skeered......

 

Would you enjoy being launched off a carrier deck...........without the aircraft...

 

Well, that's not a slide ride, that like being kicked off a four story building!

 

Well.......I could just see me flying through the air with the greatest of ease.....then SPLAT !!


I gotta get back to my chores......

Have Fun Pat !!

 

That they did. The video on YouTube, was that of the test one?? If so, that tower was half the height of the real one. The tower of the one in KC was built using 4 railroad tank cars that were welded/bolted together.

 

Later Roy!

Neil, I'm not sure. I do want to try it, though!

 

Morning nebraska. Only 7 hours,and 39 minutes, 30 seconds until my vacation starts.
