Summet Plummet
Ok, so who braved it and who ran away scared?
The last time we went I was so close to doing it, I was stood right by the steps and the que was tiny but I let my nerves get the better of me an ran away! I can do any kind of theme park ride but this slide scares me!! I need to do it, hopefully I can this year, any advice lol? |

Re: Summet Plummet
Just tighten up your bathing suit, whisper a little prayer, and go for it, you'll find it isn't nearly as scary as it looks or seems.
I really enjoyed it, and I tend to be apprehensive when it comes to anything water related. I meant what I said about tightening up your bathing suit though. There's a reason why CM's at the water parks love to station themselves at the bottom of the slides.

Re: Summet Plummet
i saw Blizzard Beach on the travel channel the other day. it was like one of the top water parks in the country. Fyi, that slide doesnt look bad at all. Steep yes, but nt bad. In the middle section of the slide, there is actually a groove to it. It goes down straight and then about half way it jutts out and then dips back down, so it really isnt THAT steep. I haven't been on it, but they showed it on tv....i still won't go on it. haha.

Re: Summet Plummet
I have been on it a few times. It is preety steep and really fast, but I found that the Slush Gusher right next to it to be more fun. It goes over a couple of hills and builds up the speed slowly. You still go pretty fast and on the last bump, it feels like you actually come off the slide for a second or so. Very cool!

Re: Summet Plummet
Never EVER EVER EVER will I ride that. DH wants to though. I told him to have fun and prepare for a wedgie.

I did it and it was really cool! But my nerves were jumpin while I was waiting in line. My daughter said down in the water and looked back at me and said dad I don't think I can do this and I gave her all this advice and a pep talk, when I saw her head disappear over that edge I said to myself, "Oh my god!! She did it!!" Well it was my turn, can't chicken out now! BONZIIIIIIII!!!

Re: Summet Plummet
I don't want to go on that slide and have to spend the rest of my vacation extracting my bathing suit from my crack.
