Zoombwabe Opening

Zoombabwe is a great ride.
The twists and turns are fun but for me the drops were the highlight!
You get such speed that by the end you just fly out of the tube.
Do you want a workout? Zoombabwe
will give you one. About half the way up the hill you get to the
tower. I won't mind lines so much here because with it's capacity
the line will move at a nice pace and you won't have to climb this all
at once.
Here's the lift, thankfully you
do not have to carry your raft up to the top. Do you see all of
that empty space near the bottom...can you say future expansion?
The temperatures for opening day
were in the upper 50's and the water was about that cold. The
life guards should have received
hazard pay but instead they
got the satisfaction of pushing boat loads like this one full of totally
dry people into the very cold water. The riders of this particular
raft shrieked so loud we
heard them all the way down.
