Tropical Typhoon Waterslide / POV - World Waterpark West Edmonton Mall

[tyleigh2012]

was it fun going on it and why dont you screem on any of the slides on the sky screemer you didnt even screem how is that possible?????

[LakeNipissing]

@tyleigh2012 Why scream? The slides don't scare me, they're just fun!

I would be quite content to eat a hamburger while going down any of them.

[chilliloh]

Is that for all?

[Sii010]

How heavy are you?

[LakeNipissing]

@Sii010 210 LBS... don't know if that makes a lot of difference. More weight = more inertia, but also more friction/drag.

[Sii010]

@LakeNipissing yeah because I'm 160 at 13 years old but I'm not fat I'm more sleek and muscular. I just wanted to ask to have a idea of the speed/wieght comaprison. No personal messgae

[Alicejls09]

u no when u went down the swirl thing where did u go to get out i was like what lol

[SamFTheCriticKid]

my friend told me theres one with a countdown and ur in a capsule, whats dat one called?

[flylikeacow]

@SamFTheCriticKid There are two new slides with that launch system - one of them is the Cyclone, which is an aqualoop slide. The other is an updated version of the Sky Screamer, called Sky Screamer Extreme.

[iranianperson1]

You cant even see anything

[MagentaFranknfurter]

Omg I went to the waterpark 2day as a year end school trip and ALL the good slides were closed nessies revenge, the sky screamer and the tropical typhoon

[Ogeides92]

it hurts if you fall into the hole backwards and your back hit the water first. :'(

[TherealDominoHacker]

hey! I went there a while ago and every time you enter the "swirly thingy" i hit my head!

[michaelangelo1syd]

That was pathetic he only went around like half a time. Even if you get a decent speed you go at least 2 or 3

[LakeNipissing]

@michaelangelo1syd If you check the older comments, I explained why I tried to go as slow as possible... I didn't want to lose the camera and have it drop to the bottom of the 10 foot deep splashdown pool.

[pokemon2487]

how long are u underwater for? i wanna go on this slide but i cant swim very well

[LeviGecko]

@pokemon2487 No Offence, But if you are kinda chubby u come up fast but if u got lots of muscle it takes like 3-5 seconds

[iLiekSkittlez]

I hate how you cant sit up in that thing.

[hemsky19]

That bowl hurts the back like a bitch

[IPissedInYourPool]

@hemsky19 Yeah, but it's nothing compared with the NEW Blue Bullet... every seam on the slide is nasty! Amazed people don't come off of that slide with cuts and scrapes.

[JklStudiosAwesome]

how many acres is the waterpark area?

[LakeNipissing]

@JklStudiosAwesome Using the measure tool on Google Earth, the waterpark measures 310 FT x 650 FT, 213,500 SQ FT, or about 4.9 acres.

[JklStudiosAwesome]

@LakeNipissing wow thanks I didn't know google earth had a measure tool, or maybe I do. I just didn't use it. Thanks!

[LakeNipissing]

@JklStudiosAwesome To see the World Waterpark (and WEM) from Google Earth, enter T5T 4V4 in the "Search / Fly To" field on Google Earth... the postal code will take you right to it.

[JklStudiosAwesome]

@LakeNipissing Thanks for your help are you an expert on the west Edmonton mall?

[LakeNipissing]

@JklStudiosAwesome I wouldn't say that... just been there a 'few' times since 1987... :)

[KittyFast]

@LakeNipissing Im going there on the 28. 20110 January is ther any new stores?

[MonsterJamVideos10]

I went on the Tropical Typhoon yesterday and I hit my head really hard.

[LakeNipissing]

@MonsterJamVideos10 I wonder how long it will be until WEM determines this slide is too hazardous and closes it down... :(

[MonsterJamVideos10]

@LakeNipissing Yeah, agreed.

[PrettyBlueFairy]

@MonsterJamVideos10 I bumped my head too, and I'm sure I didn't fall into the water feet first.

[TheRemo2469]

omg i love this ride but when you enter the bowl i hit my head :(

[Whit451]

I would love to go on that water slde but I'm kindof small for my age and I'm not a very good swimmer. The only water slides that I ever went on were the Howler and the Blue Bullet.

[kekekat212]

THIS IS TOTALLY THE BEST SLIDE EVER! I LOVE FALLIN IN THE HOLE PART! (i call this the toilet slide)!

[lle27517]

it is a human toilet haha :)

[Runway95isbac]

banged my head on this alot lol

[chase10506]

@Runway95isbac omg same here! it really hurt.....like seriously ouch.

[Spongebobmagic1]

how do you get out of that slide?

[HabboiSkate]

That one is fun.. But it had a piece of plastic sticking up and i cut my back in the bowl.. ouch. Nice video

[Randomness465]

Last time I went on this I fell down the hole feet-first and strained my neck going over. :[

[SCgibbo]

i am so jealous right now!

[tisilwm]

oh man i fucking fingerd a hot chick with in 2 hours of meeting her in one of the hot tubs

[123456hotwheels]

i've always wanted to go down one of these kinda slides.

[CrazyBonesFan]

i went on that today its crazy fun

[pimpymcd]

i recently went there and the water in the small pool before you go down the slide is disgusting!!!

[dauntless111]

I remember going on this, it was freaking sweet!

[XXCRAZYXXKOOLKID]

THIS IS MY FAVORITE SLIDE......except the first time I went on it was when I was ten,and at the end of the tube that puts you in the actual bowl,I hit my head and got all discombopulated :)then I woke up right before the hole.....I did a backflip-cannon ball(I GET TO GO THERE NEXT WEEKEND!)

[AznLiishii123]

@XXCRAZYXXKOOLKID im going there next week :)

[NikkiReed97]

@XXCRAZYXXKOOLKID Hey same thing happened to me! I sat up right after I came out of the tube, and it was like someone was pushing me down and I hit my head hard on a screw. OW

[skyblue2567]

lol this goes really fast when u go down,,, i was screaming and i was so fast my face couldnt move LOL and i waited 35 mins in line west edmonton mall rocks!!

[zkaymon]

FINALLY!!!! some one films in first person view on this thing for once!

[zone2314]

so your allowed to bring cameras on the water slides

[sexiilips101]

how much was that underwater camera?

[LakeNipissing]

@sexiilips101 Canon A95 (not waterproof) is about 200$. Canon waterproof diving case to 140 FT depth is about 300$. Also consider there are many inexpensive waterproof cameras available today that do not require a diving case, but they are usually only implosion resistant to about 10 feet depth. Olympus WP-550 would be a good example.

[race1717]

Where did you get the waterproof camera?

[LakeNipissing]

London Drugs

[race1717]

It's London, England, huh?

[LakeNipissing]

No. London Drugs is computer/drug store in West Edmonton Mall.

[pao1233]

@LakeNipissing u can get everything at london drugs xD

[whathappensLIVE]

its canada alberta edmonton

[Runway95isbac]

@race1717 Edmonton Alberta

[iFaggotJen]

Is it true that when you reach splash down it's hard to get up to the surface?

[DIGIFOXmusic]

@iFaggotJen no. id knot cuz i go to this waterpark all the time lol

[yugiohlord33]

do u have to swim under the side of it

[jeterohjeter]

my friend went in this slide and went around 12 times before falling in the life gurad was laughing his ass off

[ludolf1234]

nice vid

how long is the tube?

;)

[TARDISvision]

It's probably about 90ft at a 45 degree angle, you're moving pretty damn fast when you hit the end. most people get between 3 and 5 times around the circle before they splashdown. this is one of my fav slides there.

[LtMajcher]

what did you use to shoot this?

[LakeNipissing]

Canon A95 digital camera in a Canon diving case.

[PuGgLyPuPpz]

ummmmm , did you put pictures up because that was the type of camera that took theeeem ? :)

[porlamarbob]

aww! Thats sick nasty kool!!

[canadiangirl20]

that's a pretty fun slide i liked it

[rct3fan56]

i dont noknow how to sai this but in the bowl it fucking hurts man

[1a5i9dan]

that is a fun ride but if you laydown and open your eyes it hurts like hell

[AznLiishii123]

its like when u flush a toilet and the round thing is the bowl and the person is the poop

[LakeNipissing]

Yeah, I kind of felt like shit the day I was on this...

[soccerchick4107]

@AznLiishii123 me and my friends all call it the toilet bowl when we go to wem!

[hockeykidii]

that ride hurts yer head

[berryman596]

i hit my head on this one. It hurt so BAD!!!

[CoolxCii]

I've been on that :)

[BRDSVGE]

me to !

[DrFunky4]

ahhh man I LOVE water parks!! Why cant the morons in the NF, NY city government wake up and build a massive indoor water park here in town?

[LakeNipissing]

I thought Niagara Splash, U.S.A. is there?

As far as I know, the only 'massive' indoor water park in North America is the World Waterpark in West Edmonton Mall, which would still be a 4 hour flight from Niagara Falls / Buffalo.

[DrFunky4]

No, they knocked down the Splash park (niagara splash) about a year ago. To build a parking lot for the casino.

[linebro]

@DrFunky4 i dn't know but us canadian will be very welcoming of someone like you in our fine waterpark

[DrFunky4]

@linebro thanks my man! :-D

[linebro]

@DrFunky4 no prob i was just there :D

[AMPronchuk]

wow you made it like half around...

[LakeNipissing]

Yeah, but I was trying to hold a camera! I didn't want to go too fast and lose the camera and have it end up at the bottom of the 10 foot deep splashdown pool.

[nikopelekos]

omg thats so cool im going there in 2 days cant wait

[PoisonSerpent1]

So that means your there now?

[tyboy3]

do they let you take cameras on the slide?

[LakeNipissing]

Sure, I have five or six videos from the waterslides. When I had the camera on the Thunderbolt, I could only hold one of the handles on the sled, to hold the camera with the other hand. This kind of breaks their rule to hold onto the sled securely with both hands! :)

[InsaneDrummer99]

if it broke their rules

why did they still let you on it?

[Mripod128]

That was the best slide there

[bhewko19]

i went on that thing

[RyanBrownEatsPants]

poop

[samerchadia4ever]

cool
