what ride is this??? and where do you end up after falling down? and is it like super scary? do you need to know how to swim? can you go on when your 13? thanks :]
Its at a place called Atlantis Attractions in the Bahamas.
It goes down 6 stories (60 feet) almost vertical, then through a tube under water with real sharks around you, then ends in a little pool. Its an amazing ride! [ Solaris's advice column | Ask Solaris A Question ]

There's one of those at Water Country (in New Hampshire) and other water parks I'm sure.
The one I've been on ended with just a flat section of slide, so you can slow to a stop.
It's an almost complete vertical drop. It's exhilirating, its scary, and it hurts a little if you go down at the wrong angle and tense up too much.
Also, make sure you don't lose your bathing suit, like the guy behind me on the ride did. His friends took it when it flew in the air and threw it over a fence. And he had to go get it, completely naked. [ LM's advice column | Ask LM A Question ]
