3 Slides On "Crush 'n' Gusher"

[TimonAndPumba]

I was just wondering if the three different slides on "Crush 'n' Gusher" are all the same or whether they were all different, like is one slide more scarier than the other?

:ears:

Well its a roller coaster slide, eg. it goes up and down. Ive never been on the CnG but theres one like it where i live and its pretty darn thriling

[tajainaz]

There's one in Texas called the Master Blaster and it literally propels you up inclines and rushes you down--just like a roller coaster! I think there are several at other U.S. waterparks now.

I would tend to think there would be some differences if it has three runs, but they may not be significant. Could be just to keep people moving and avoid long queues! :)

yeah we have a master blaster (about 1/4 the size of the one in texas) where i live

Yes there are three slides to choose from on C&G. The Pineapple Plunger, the Coconut Crusher, and the Banana Blaster. Here is a write up abput crush and gusher to get you in the mood for it.


"Walt Disney World guests find themselves immersed in a dense tropical jungle amid the towering remains -- rusted-out and dilapidated -- of a fruit exporting plant. The once-landlocked packing plant known as Tropical Amity now sits on the shores of Hideaway Bay, a body of water left in the wake of a torrential storm.

The wobbly remains of the wash facility -- what used to be a controlled environment with fruit flowing gently down to the packing plant -- is now a turbulent series of gushing water flumes. It is these flumes, spiraling out of control through twisted and crumbling wash spillways with crushing force, that redefine "flash flooding" for Typhoon Lagoon guests.

While riding Crush 'n' Gusher, guests are whisked away on inflatable rafts and immediately begin to experience the up-and-down sensations of a roller coaster, made possible by utilizing some of today's latest water ride innovations. Powerful water jets propel guests through cavernous twists and turns, eventually spitting them out into the tranquil waters of Hideaway Bay.

"We were so excited about offering this state-of-the-art water ride technology to our guests, that we created three separate ride systems for them to experience," said Patrick Brennan, lead creative designer for Walt Disney Imagineering. "In addition to being the only water coaster thrill ride of its kind in Central Florida, Crush 'n' Gusher is the first-ever water coaster attraction in North America to offer guests three different ride experiences at one location."

"Crush 'n' Gusher is a great addition to Disney's Typhoon Lagoon," said Reggie Williams, vice president of Disney's Wide World of Sports and Water Parks. "With the thrills and excitement that this water coaster ride offers, Crush 'n' Gusher is like having our very own E-Ticket attraction."

Disney's Typhoon Lagoon, itself the result of a calamity of nature (so the legend goes), continues to make the best of a bad situation -- in this case the uncovered structural remains of Tropical Amity. With the newly discovered water coaster thrill ride of Crush 'n' Gusher in the backyard jungle of Typhoon Lagoon, guests have one more reason to enjoy this tropical paradise.

Fast Facts:

Crush 'n' Gusher is the only water roller coaster in North America that has three unique and separate rides off of one tower.
Each Crush 'n' Gusher water jet nozzle puts out 1350 gallons per minute.
The average length of each slide is over 400 feet.
One slide from Crush 'n' Gusher can fill a standard home-size pool in about one minute.
Crush 'n' Gusher can fill up Disney's Typhoon Lagoon wave pool (2.7 million gallons) in about 3 hours.
If you were to connect the average fire hose to a single Crush 'n' Gusher jet nozzle, it could shoot water over The Twilight Zone™ Tower of Terror attraction at Disney-MGM Studios.
Ride height requirement is 48 inches"

I f I recall Banana Blaster was the best ride. The other 2 are still good fun however. The rides allow 2 or 3 person inflatables, but Banana blaster only allows the 2 person inflatable.
