That said, it was a lot of fun. Spinning mice, when they really spin, are such a blast.
Here's Nozzy and Sean coming off the upper level zig-zags. All glory to the pink hypnotoad.
Steve and Priss, both having a great time, even if Priss looks a little less excited than Steve does.
Right after Spinning Coaster, we all jumped onto Cosmo World's honked-up flume ride, seen here gliding past Dive Coaster: Vanish's signature "splashdown." I missed out on that scenic treat, and the rest of the slow meander around Cosmo World's other rides is nothing special.
What IS special are the bits after the two lift hills. Once you're elevated, the logs no longer flow on water. Instead, they roll along on flat rails, gradually picking up speed. So by the time you hit the peak of each major drop, you're already chugging along. This doesn't have much consequence for the first, smaller hill. For the second and final plunge, though, which has a longer, twistier approach, the running start makes a real difference.
If you want to call this a "water coaster," you'll have no push-back from me.
And when you make that zippy final descent, be sure to scream your lungs out; they measure the decibels and rank your log's output on this leaderboard.
Despite my best attempts at girlish, ear-piercing shrieks, none of my crews ever reached the top spot hashtag Hangs Head In Shame.
It's a crime that there aren't a lot more like this mofo elsewhere. |
