hhmmmm, steep drops like Summit Plummit. no. but they do have some quick drops that have some angle on them. i mean it is a flume type ride (with new technology)

Not really. The longest drop might be 20' and it is not very steep maybe 45 degrees. It is nothing like a traditional 150' tall 80 degree slope speed slide.

They do not have any steep drops.... however, when it does drop and your raft bottoms out make sure you lift yourself up out of the raft a little bit so your backside (family site) doesnt scrape against the bottom. :animwink: Trust me, I learned the hard way. :hammer:

But, Crush n Gusher is a great experience and is not to be missed!

Not at 45 degrees it isn't.
it depends on what was before the 45 degrees (speed building up decline, or an incline). hypotheically, good speed into any drop will get your stomach a little. hence driving down the street and you hit a little hill, then a slight decline on the other side....... granted your going 30-40 mph.

Now I'm curious. I have not been on one of these new coaster slides. How much longer is the ride compared with your normal 30-40 second slide?

Also, speaking of cool slides, I love this new one they installed at Sic Flags Great America near Chicago. I don't know how to describe it, other than a "toilet slide." You gain a whole lot of speed, and then rush round and round in a funnel, till you reach the center, and you're "flushed" down by a powerful gush of water.

Does Disney have one of these yet?

The slides aren't really any longer the main difference is that your are pushed uphill through sections of the ride. The "flushing" ride you speak of is not at any of the Disney water parks.

yeh, i hope they dont get one of these....... if Visionland has one in Birmingham, it isnt a huge marguee attraction (my opinion) but im sure some really enjoy it.
