The Ride
The ride itself is a standard model Vekoma Suspended Looping Coaster (SLC), however, the Pleasure Beach has added numerous water effects and given the ride a glossy feel. Amanda Thompson, current Managing Director of the park insisted that the ride would be a leap of success for the park's marketing chain, which in 2006 saw the removal of many classic rides, including the Log Flume, Whip, Turtle Chase and Space Invader; as well as the recently added Spin Doctor. The ride was unveiled under a mass-marketing campaign for the park and opened to the public on Wednesday 2 May 2007. This ride contains all the usual elements of traditional suspended looping coasters built by Vekoma: the opening heartline loop, a sidewinder, and a double in-line-twist. Riders must be between 132 cm and 200 cm tall to ride. The ride runs off the Pleasure Beach wristband operation service and off ride tickets. Without the usual wrist-band service, riders must pay eight tickets. The amount of water used on the ride is enough to fill two Olympic swimming pools.

Famous quotes containing the word ride:
“The Danaan children laugh, in cradles of wrought gold,
And clap their hands together, and half close their eyes,
For they will ride the North when the ger-eagle flies,
With heavy whitening wings, and a heart fallen cold....”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“We would not always be soothing and taming nature, breaking the horse and the ox, but sometimes ride the horse wild and chase the buffalo.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
