Heh, I though Six Flags was sick of them after they did not put one in our HH. Guess I was wrong.
Ugh.

Well I guess Proslide is a very happy camper for the 2005 season. They have Hurricane Harbor, multiple Tornado slides including SfStl, MIA, GL, SfEG, and many others. They also have many other waterslide attractions and the yet to be announced Skull Island look alike at SFOG.

And not to mention the "teaser" ad for Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom.

Proslide as you mention is raking in the money in 2005.

Oh yes, SFNE, SFA, and SFKK are also expected to be adding at least something from Proslide. You can't forget the Bohemoth(sp?) Bowl at Wet N' Wild, too. I also guess you can count the Great Wolf Lodge's new Howlin' Wolf or whatever it is called. It makes me wonder why SfGam's Hurricane Harbor isn't coming with a Tornado ride.

I've never been on a Proslide Tornado, but they look pretty good from the pics I've seen. Hope we get one in the future.

Add another to the list. The Wilderness Resort in the Dells is adding one later this year. The ride was named The Hurricane, but that name was removed earlier this year. The new name is not known at this time. They will also add a Proslide Cannonbowl. http://www.wildernessresort.com/whatsnew.php

Awesome! I always loved the Wilderness and it definately is going to be offering more to do than Kalahari! Oh yeah, in case you haven't heard, they are changing the name of their outdoor wavepool because of the recent tragedy.(The Great Tsunami)

I find it funny so many of the parks are building these, the only thing these rides do is look cool. I rode the one at PKI after waiting a half hour in line for it...and thought it sucked.

Give me a ordinary waterslide over one of these tornado's any day.

SfGam will not have "this" kind of tornado at Hurricane Harbor. We will have toilet bowls. They are different.

I can see why you thought that was worth ressurecting an 8 month old topic for.
