This looks like a spectacular water park addition.  It's like the Voyage of water slides.

That was my immediate reaction to it as well.
This will definitely get us back to that park next year

Okay that is sweet.  I think my vacation plans for next year might be changing.

We need to corespond our trips east next summer so that we can meet up at the parks that we are both going to go to.

Hmmm if I have the budget I might need to make a trip to Holiday World. This ride looks to be a great addition to the park and I can only assume the General Public is going to love it!

Well I don't think you'll be seeing one of these at OoF anytime soon. The last time I checked, Schlitterbahn owns the patent on this ride and manufactures them for parks and I doubt they'll let a waterpark less than 20 miles from theirs build a water coaster.

That would work perfectly with OoF then. Now won't it. OoF has tons of space to build up on and plenty of room to add a very huge one, even bigger than HW's and it can be a terrain ride too.

I  think the last major expansion of OoF was Paradise Falls, which was nice, big, wet, and very fun. A hydromagnetic rocket would certainly add some excitement to go to OoF and maybe reduce the wait times for Hurricane Falls some. I don't know what WoF budget is for adding new rides and I don't know how much one of those slides would cost them to build. I also do not know the 3 year plans for WoF if they have one ether and probably don't really care to know too much about it, it would ruin the surprise and the fun trying to figure it out.

Prowler was very fun to figure out.

i wouldn't mind some other slides like a halfpipe or a tornado or even a bowl slides heck any of proslides creations sounds great but Oof needs some more slides

I'll second that!  A new thrill ride at OoF is long over due IMO.
