RACE DOWN A SLIDE THAT FEELS LIKE A
SKI SLOPE

This body slide mimics the sensation felt racing down a ski slope, with constant excitement and anticipation for the next turn or drop. Riders surge through a dark tunnel and rocket onto a saucer, accelerating before experiencing a “drop and dive” sensation as they race along the outer wall. The slide continues with some twists and turns before splashing down into water filled runout.
