For those of you who like waterslides, check out this article, it sounds pretty crazy. I used to be a big fan of our body slides on pipeline peaks but now it just seems hot, the chlorine is VERY strong, and the water splashing in your face takes your breath away. Oh well, read the article and post what you think....

WhiteWater West launches Dueling AquaLoops waterslides

Head-to-head looping body slides generating unprecedented guest buzz
Richmond, BC – WhiteWater West Industries Ltd., the global leader in waterpark design, engineering and manufacturing, today announced the launch of the Dueling AquaLoops waterslides, expanding the AquaLoop

family with a thrilling new design that doubles capacity and takes guest entertainment to a whole new level.


The Dueling AquaLoops are a unique configuration of WhiteWater’s immensely popular AquaLoop looping waterslide, a winner in the IAAPA 2009 Best New Waterpark Product category. The Dueling AquaLoops put one

rider against another in a head-to-head speed challenge, delivering heart-pounding excitement for riders and riveting entertainment for spectators below. Starting from a single tower, riders stand inside the launch capsules

and await the countdown. 3…2…1…go! The floor drops and riders plunge 45 ft (17 m) down, accelerating to speeds of nearly 38 mph (60 Km/h), hurtling up and over the near-vertical loop as up to 2.5 G’s press their bodies

against the flume before they splash into the runout. It’s sure to be the most intense waterslide experience of their lives!


The first Dueling AquaLoops – two of them, totaling four AquaLoops – are currently being installed at Wet‘n’Wild Water World in Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia. “The Dueling AquaLoops are one of the most exciting

waterslide concepts to hit the market in a long time”, says Bob White, General Manager of Wet’n’Wild Water World. “Sending guests on a head-to-head race through the trap doors, down the flumes and around

Thanks for the video post, I couldnt post the one from their website. I like the idea of the floor dropping out, I have seen that on a waterpark show on discovery before, I just dont know about the whole loop idea. It looks interesting that is for sure.

If I go, will I be permitted to wear a shirt, until I finish my P90X training?
I'm still in the "before" photo stage, looking very much forward to the "after."

No one cares about man boobs in water parks...if you see some of the things walking around at any average US water park Im sure you would strut with pride lol...

But most body slides you cant wear a shirt. It can rise up and choke you...

I don't really have male boobies, at least, not until I bend over.
It's the unglamorous bones with a gut is what I'm trying to hide.
My naval used to be an outtie. Now, after a shower, when I bend over to dry my feet, a whole lake comes rushing out of it to wet me up again. Geez!

I thought it was Wormy's camera that made me look like I weighed 300 lbs. when he posted his pic of me last summer. But now I know I've gained weight and it's even showing in my face. I'm Sorry Wormy for the negativity over my pic last year. It was me, not your camera. I just didn't like what I saw.

Nevertheless, I should be coming out of hiding by the beginning of 2011. Then, I'll be ready for The Bahamas and everywhere else people strip down. I don't want to be a he-man but I no longer want to be a stick figure with a gut either. I want more meat and ripples on my bod in all the right places. Then, I'll consider renaming my avatar something in the realm of Stud Muffin. As for now, Linus needs his blanket, and I'm more comfortable with a shirt.
