I think I am the only one here who does not remember Wally Gators Tube shoot. Does anyone here have any pictures of it and exactly what was it?
I never made it to that section of the park much.

I don't remember it either.

Coastertown.com has pictures, and it was a ride similar to the Arrow Rub-A-Dub.

<a href='http://coastertown.com/Paramount/Carowinds/Animation/River01.htm' target='_blank'>Here</a> is the photo from the site mentioned above. Think of an ultra miniature Rip Roarin' Rapids (without the rapids). It was over by the first turnaround on Scooby near the mini Sky Tower.

<a href='http://www.pbase.com/jamminj/image/18200207' target='_blank'>This sign</a> was up long after Tube Shoot closed. I'm pretty sure they finally removed it.

Those are the few pics I have.. can't wait to see what comes next year.

Anyone old enough to remember its previous name?

...Bam Bam's Boat Float.

Pain to staff + low ridership/rider diversity= closure

I dont remember this either, what years did it operate?

Looks Lame.

1987 to 2001, in 2002 the ride(along with Elroy's Space Station) were closed and somewhat removed. Elroy's Space Station was dismantled, but Wally Gator Tube Shoot is/was still sitting there. The sign for the Space Station is/was still up, Wally's has been removed.

I remember the Tube Shoot. I rode it with my sister I think during the last year of operation.

I slightly remember this ride, it was my favorite ride as a little kid, I used to absolutley love it.... But now my fav ride at carowinds is Top Gun.
