I find hilarious there is a 150 lb limit on a water slide in Orlando. That’s basically prohibiting 80% of all visitors
Especially bc if you’re under a certain height, you have to be accompanied by an adult.I find hilarious there is a 150 lb limit on a water slide in Orlando. That’s basically prohibiting 80% of all visitors
With all of the various weight issues on different slides since the park opened, I'd have to guess that Pro Slide has some less than competent people working in their design department. I'm wandering if Universal has filed any suits on Pro Slide's designs.I just find all these issues to be crazy considering what year it is, and how much money / time went into this park. How do you F this up?

Mistakes do happen no matter what year it is. Evidently when they were planning this slide certain logistics weren’t taken into account unfortunately.I just find all these issues to be crazy considering what year it is, and how much money / time went into this park. How do you F this up?
Could Universal have asked ProSlide to make the ending area shorter than they normally would?I mean, why wouldn’t they? If they are doing this because “people were getting hurt” then you have an immediate product liability exposure here. Pro Slide should be paying whatever claim comes up.
I honestly don't know if that would be possible or not, but it seems logical...Although you may have the same issue of going too far and overshooting the runwayThey should just turn them into body slides for now and add a pool for the run off. VB needs more high capacity body slides anyways. Then build a true mat slide complex as part of the expansion plot. Mat racers are some of the highest capacity slides a water park can buy and somehow VB messed that one up too.
Every. Damn. Time.
In all honesty I’m shocked it took as long as it did to either adjust the weight limit or close them and somehow redo the splash down or just replace them altogether. I have seen numerous injuries here. Heck one time at the bottom I was greeted with two of Universals health team members who were already on scene while risk management was there taking down two SEPARATE accident reports.
Well there haven't been enough deaths for it to be Action ParkI can’t stop laughing at this. Are we looking at the second coming of Action Park? ;p
And, yes, we’re planning on going tomorrow. :grin:

To be honest, I get more injured on Typhoon Lagoon's concrete slides
The Trackers
The fast river seems much faster than it was in the first year of operation. Scary fun fast now. At 6:18.
If you look closely, you can see there's construction equipment on the expansion plot......
The VB pics are from opening day.Not sure how recent that photo is
