                  Buy Daytona Beach Real Estate. You're Still Close to Lots of Orlando Fun!!

Have you ever been to Blizzard Beach? (It's a Disney theme park in Orlando, FL: only an hour or so away from the Daytona Beach area!) And have you decided to ride the 90 foot drop that actually gets you airborne on the way down?

When you're at the top, your given strict instructions to keep your legs and arms crossed. Why? Well, when you land in the pool at the bottom, can you say "Super Wedgie!!??" LOL  And since there are always a number of pervs standing around, just waiting to catch a glimpse of whatever "escapes" on the way down.... Keep those arms and legs crossed!  >.< 

This is my daughter, just after her launch. Can you see that she's already screaming? (Mwa ha ha haaa) At least she's in the right position! I can't say the same for her friend...  (see the next image)  >.<

Okay, Lisa.  Be honest - did you take that 90 foot drop?  I think it looks like fun, but I'd probably chicken out.

Lisa - Because of the snowy facia on the slide, it looks really cold.  But if it's in Florida, I suspect it's pleasantly warm.  By the way, do you ever get the feeling the only way you know what is REALLY going on in your kid's lives, is by visiting their Facebook page:-)

Lisa,

It is scary eve to look at it from the ground. I used to work in Disney ara and was driving past Blizzard Beach a few times a day, and I could not imagine people getting the very top, with no way of turning back.

Chicken or not chicken, if you got there, this is pretty much the only way to get down... and a scary one

Oh, my!  It's really hot here, and I wish I was in that picture heading down the water slide.

I'm always afraid that I'm going to be the one person that is going to fly out of the slide!

LOL at the variety of comments here. Sorry I haven't responded sooner. As to why I wasn't in a shot; I wasn't there that day. AND, although I'm a maniac about roller coasters, I'm not so fond of them when water is involved. And I once rode "Derstuka" (sp?) at Wet n Wild, which is very similar to this one. It truly scared me enough to be very apprehensive about ever riding another one like that again.

I think I'm overdue for some Busch Gardens fun though. Spin me around and flip me upside down! I want to feel like I've left my stomach at the top of the ride, while I'm already halfway down. Yeah baby! :-D

Little guys eventually learn. It only takes once, and then you'll never forget and never ignore those instructions again. LOL
