Ashley 83 Report post Posted April 18, 2016 Something what I have been curious about is WWWs Wedgie water slide was its name given just for the hell of it or do people who ride it do really get a wedgie on it, what DW uses to promote it on there website is Get Wedged on the Wedgie.

Reanimated35 3,493 Report post Posted April 18, 2016 That was their whole marketing angle when it launches and still is their marketing? The videos and stuff showed people picking their butts after the ride. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Theme Park Girl 1,966 Report post Posted April 18, 2016 Definitely a side effect of the slide. I usually set up camp nearby (on the right side of the wave pool) and regularly witness riders pulling their ridden up shorts out of their butts after they get out ?

And another perfect example of why click bait works so well - people don't bother to read the articles. Quote For a brief moment New Jersey's Action Park resort boasted the world's first vertically looping waterslide before a series of injuries and accidents abruptly shut it down. Now plans are underway to bring it back For those of you playing along at home, that's the opening paragraph to the article. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coasterdude44 43 Report post Posted April 18, 2016 When it said 360 looping, I though they meant it was going to be like aqua loop at wet n wild Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tim Dasco 744 Report post Posted April 18, 2016 ^ Yup that was what I believed also. I don't think White Water West cared because they got 4 from Wet 'N' Wild. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

themagician 4,345 Report post Posted April 19, 2016 Agreed. First time I went on Aqualoop I was shaking as I went up the stairs, and then waiting in the shoot, my heart was pounding. I went on the Wedgie for the first time, after I'd ridden Aqualoop many times. But Aqualoop still gets my heart pounding, Wedgie, not so much, but still has a level of thrill to it.

While Aqualoop is definitely scarier, you do get a mat on your back unlike the Wedgie, so the only scary thing about the Wedgie is the pain that comes with it. Both times I went on it I got bruises (and the second time a splinter) on my back. If DW included those back mats found on Aqualoop, it would be a lot more tolerable!

Santa07 1,022 Report post Posted April 19, 2016 Very true, but it would mean they'd have to build a queue at the bottom of the tower which would be a pain Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
