Theres this crazy ride at Sea Paradise in Japan. You sit in a boat and theres a guy standing on the front. Your boat drops and when it gets to the bottom, the guy jumps in the air and lands back on the boat. You have to see the video, but I cant post it becuase theres POV of ride in it. Its on the Theme park Review vieo download page somehwhere. Heres a pic though.

In order to see this, you have to be a member at themeparkreview and the download their video of Cosmoworld and Sea Paradise, which has some POV footage, but not much. Blue Fall is huge, it is an intamin drop taller much taller than Giant Drop.

POVs are not allowed on this site because taking POVs is against park policy and this site will not allow anything that breaks park policy to be viewable or accessible from this site to keep with the good relations of the park.

I thought that rule went for SFGAm POVs only.

Also, I noticed it says at the end of the video that it was taken with permission of the park.

Yes, Theme Park Review always asks permission before they take video. They say Mt. Olympus will let you take your camera on a ride if you ask.

We stopped at this park while in Japan and this ride was down for maintance the day we were there. But on my last day my flight wasn't till 6pm and we made the trek down there again just to ride it. All I can say is WOW! We had the first and second seats on our first ride. These guys are insane! We easily spent an hour just watching from the side.

Also in Japan, their rules are alot different about cameras. The only parks out of 25 that we hit that didn't allow cameras on rides was Nagashima Spaland and Fuji Q.

And FRD714 Robb Alvey doesn't always ask for permission. Do A search on this site for him and he even admitts it!

Iggy--who has his own POV of the Chute the Chute.

*** Also I beleive the ride in now gone or soon will be***

Really Iggy ACE? I could of swore I read something on the forum that said they ask before they take POV, but maybe not. Oh well.

It kind of looks dangerous, but they are probably proffesionals at it. Still its amazing!
