Wow, looks pretty sweet. Not quite as long as other water coasters but the 4-person raft is a nice addition and it looks like you might get some good airtime on it.

I guess it could be cause i've never ridden one and never seen any on ride animations like that before, but boy does that look fast!!! I think it's an awesome addition!!! Great job Six Flags!!!

the only good water-coaster iv'e been on was "black-Anaconda" my fav. part of that ride is when you speed down that first hill. Also theres a good family water-coaster at the Kalahari. I forgot the name of the ride, but it's not really fast, but not really slow either.

I was looking pics a few months ago of one that was built in Australia, and I just have to say, I dont know about the idea of a LIM Launched Waterslide, LIM's use alot more current than most people would guess, and on the one in Australia all the wiring was explosed, all insulated of course and I'm sure weather/watertight connections but chlorine in water has a tendancy to break down just about anything it touches over time.
Also I would guess, but am not sure that inductance occuring with any nearby non ferrous metal if present could present fairly significant issues.

Oh, so did you like it or no? I think master-blaster slides are terrific!
