[BJCool]

So something like this? just longer?

Umm...no. Well, yes it'd be a water ride, but more like this:

The attractions saw a lot of cut backs as well due to some technical things which ate into the budget along the way. A fully realized version could potentially be done even better.

Whats the point of a water ride then?

And Yes Uni desperately needs a good water ride

Jaws was a water ride and you didn't get wet.

Personally I think UNI does fine without a ride to get wet. If I want to get wet I'd just stroll to IOA

I'm definitely not opposed to one, I'm just saying. where would you put a good water ride though? (space issues)

Not sure where to post this but since this is dealing with rides in general, do you all ever think the trackless system that Antarctica and Winnie The Pooh Honey Hunt have will ever come to Universal parks? I know Universal loves it's simulators so I was just wondering if it be something you guys think they may bring for a future ride?

 

[JungleSkip]

Just move one of the water rides from IoA to Uni.

I freaking love IoA, and it's my second favorite park anywhere...but damn does it have too much water.

I got wet most if not all times I went on Jaws.

 

[IAmFloridaBorn]

I got wet most if not all times I went on Jaws.

Oh, well how about that? As many times as I've been on Jaws I've never got wet.
Well then there goes my argument. I didn't know anybody ever got wet on it.

Mind you, I didn't get soaked like you would in Ripsaw Falls or Popeye and Bluto's, but I still got at least sprayed with water, and sometimes quite wet if I was sat on the left side of the boat when the shark would come at the boat. It's a Jurassic Park kind of wet. Depending where you sit, you get more or less wet.

 

[Skipper Justin]

Rows 2-4 On the left side were more prone to water

 

[USO92]

I remember always getting a wet spot on a central spot on my rear...every....single.....time

then Id walk through the park

with a dark localized wet spot

hahaha such fond memories

But you don't get wet like you do on a regular splash water ride like jurassic park or dudley do right/barge like popeye.

Jumping in a pool gets you less wet than Popeye and Dudley.

There were times where I was more wet from Jaws than Jurassic Park though. You could get soaked there depending on your seat.

ound: Seriously

So true..

JPRA is a suprise every time this last roll around my cousin and I got drenched but we were up front and riding solo and there have been times where Ill walk off that ride completely dry. Jaws was the epitome of a good water ride that EVERYONE could enjoy where you may/may not get wet but if you did it was bearable and still enjoy it. USF NEEDS this kind of ride

which is exactly what I thought. Everytime someone says water ride I thinkk of Popeye, Jurassic Park, and Ripsaw Falls. I get wet so much on all three.

1.Popeye
2.Ripsaw Falls
3.Jurassic Park

 

[ThemeParks4Life]

My pants always got wet on Jaws. In a minute I'm gonna see if Madagascar could fit anywhere in USF.

 

[Smitty]

just looked, the back has some room.

 

[ThemeParks4Life]

Where in the back are you talking about?

 

[Smitty]

Disregard, now that I think about it, you would have to remove the majority of kidzone to even fit it.

lol, Popeye I agree gets you soaked, but from my experience, i've never gotten all that wet on Dudley and am always very underwhelmed overall. How it keeps winning best water ride is beyond me.

It doesn't have much competition. It has the highest flume drop. And it's one of very few heavily themed flume rides. Most flume rides are just that..flume rides. And I always get drenched on Dudley.
