Needing to cool off and to experience one of the most interesting log flume ride out there we hit Daredevil Falls.



Yes there is a big splashdown at the end of Daredevil Falls like a log flume and the rest of the ride is almost a rapids ride with your boat careening and bumping all around a fast paced trough.



The ride that frightened Bond the most on the whole trip was not a three hundred foot tall speed monster, a inverted thrill monster or the newest thrill ride on the planet.  No, the ride he most feared was an old little indoor half dark ride and half coaster called Blazing Fury. 

Bond likes to be able to see what's going on, at least for his first ride but with all of Blazing Fury enclosed and with it's coaster part in pitch blackness he didn't want to take a ride on it.  Of course he ended up loving it and we rode it many times throughout our visit.



The last coaster we had to hit was the Tennessee Tornado.  It's one of the best coasters that ever came out of Arrow Dynamics and is really what a steel looping coaster should be.  Unfortunately this is the only photo I took of it as I was too bust shooting everything else.
