Has anyone ridden this? It's in Whitewater Country at Valleyfair. It's a 50 foot tall raft-ish ride. 4-6 people sit in a large tube, and hold on to straps on the side. The raft is pushed into a slide that is filled with water. You go down the slide, and as you hit corners, the raft goes up the side wall. I can't believe that I rode this thing. How can it possibly be safe? I wasn't scared when I was on it, but when I got to the bottom, I was just thinking "how could they possibly have a ride like that?" It seems like there's so little room for error. My raft was almost flipping upside down, people were having a hard time holding on to the straps. I was completely drenched and couldn't see, but was afraid to wipe my eyes because I'd have to let go of one of the straps to do so.
