Tornado, hands down. I absolutely love the feeling of that drop and going as high as it goes in the funnel. The bowl slides are also some of my favorites.

I still don't see a need for separate topics....the other topic is also discussing HH attractions.

Well separate topics or not, Ill answer this one by mainly agreeing with DejaVuGurl1203. TORNADO is amazing to me with it's roller coaster like drop of airtime intensity. Loves it. I just know to pick up my ass before hitting the bottom so we have a smoother ride up the wall to possibly spin :) haha

I went on Sunday and it looks like all 4 slides on that top tower have the drop hatch. I thought the 2 "looping" ones were gonna be the only. They look absolutely amazing. Its also incredible to see how far they've come since opening day. I'll be riding these beauties June 5th. Weather permitting, of course.

They can be seen right now at the top platform. The look just like the cryogenic tubes from Futurama. :lol:

I like the drop slides and speed slides at HH. Haven't been on any of the new Riptide Bay slides.
I probably won't ride the new slides this year due to the fact that:

1: I'll probably end up going in July when HH will be full.
2: I don't want to stand in a long line for a new slide that can be ridden at a much later point in time.
3: Waterslides are mostly too short of a ride, they're not that tall or fast, and not thrilling enough for me.
4: I don't want to waste time in HH lines waiting for water slides when I can be waiting in line for a much better ride in the dry park (i.e. Raging Bull).
