This roulette wheel looking contraption
is a Wipeout. If you're in the mood for some serious lateral
G's this is the ride for you.
Knott's runs this ride at full speed
and watch out for the spin cycle. All I can say is that if I hadn't
had my motion sickness medicine this would have definitely been a "spin
and spew" ride for me.
This is one completely ridiculous,
insane, crazy, ludicrous ride. Perilous Plunge is two things...insane
airtime and the most intense shower you have ever had all rolled into
one.
When the boats come over the lip
of the drop if you're in the back you end up flying out of your seat.
I'm not talking about a little airtime, I'm talking about being totally
catapulted out of the seat air. Very cool! Matthew and
I rode this twice in a row and Jeff Johnson said to Carrie "I bet
Paul puts his arms down". Well Jeff, you bet wrong, but the
second time through I did hold on with just one arm.
When you hit the water it feels
like you're being blasted by a fire hose all over. You are just
completely covered with water, very fun. I'm not a big water ride
fan but this is just so fun I want one closer to me. Here's
a hint...wear sandals and bring a spare change of clothes, you'll
need it.
