I spoke to a CM who was once a lifeguard at BB and RC and he confirmed to me that TL is definately getting some type of thrilling ride. They want it to rank up with BB in the top Water Parks. They are aiming for top 10.

I would love to see one of those water coasters...

I doubt that will happen, but a new innovative water slide is an extreme possibility.

I was referring to the latter.

I don't believe it will be a water coaster...it said it will be "one of a kind" and we know how the Imagineers are...they don't take the same old thing and just make it pretty...they really do make "one of a kind" attractions. I believe that it will get away from a water SLIDE or water COASTER...It will definitely have something to do with water (obviously) but I think that TL is a different kind of water park...look at the wave pool...the best ANYWHERE...and look at the scuba attraction...It's great. This truly be something we have never seen before.

maybe you will be allowed to go past the rope in the wave pool. That would be one of a kind

I'm thinking something like a "flume type ride" that ends up in a tunnel (tube) and you will be surrounded by sharks or something. Like, a themed ride where you're in a boat and a "typhoon" takes control of the boat and sends you down giant tidal waves until your boat goes down...and you're "swimming with the fish"
what does everyone think?
Hey...just think of it...it would be a neat place to move the Living seas

The attraction hasn't been confirmed to anything but there will be a new attraction.

About the slide/coasters...
The slide/coaster type of atractions which have become almost standard at large parks now are raft style rides...you ride the raft up and down the hills...the hills are generally covered with nets and there are drainige holes at the troughs between hills to keep water from pooling there...very complicated...i haven't ridden it, but have seen and talked extensively with my fellow guards who have to guard on these attractions...a big pain in the but they say...along with the toilet bowl type slides where it's just a bown you go around in circles in untill you spill out the bottom into a deep pool...

originally, they said it would open the fall of this year, but that seems extremely unlikely at this point...so no telling when it will open...

that slide looks increible, if Disney can just give it a theme to go along with TL then it would be great.
