First Day of Testing for Pilgrims Plunge

[BradzizAwsom]

thats what the splash should have been like

[esser01]

Thats stupid, because without the water on the drop it makes the splash bigger.

[MestizoFilipino]

If the water run was shorter, or if you would've added some water jets to move the boat along. Could we of been looking at the intended type of splash?

[havik82]

why not give it a 95 angle down? it would be awesome.

[PaintballHazard]

Why didn't they keep the water like that so it splashes sooner and higher?

[Egypt2112]

When it hit the water, there was soooo much force that it would hurt the riders and wouldn't be as pleasent as it is now.

If you see, the boat hits the water really hard, which isn't good.

[ajatriton]

lol have no big splah like 2 secs later u land in a thing of water =P

[boonerox]

I rode it last week and it was awesome! Get there early and you won't have a long wait.

[ponyboylover1]

i didnt even get butterflies from this ride

[dakiing44]

I rode this and i thought it sucked..the scariest part was going up  the elevator lol

[asaisaac]

How come the splash was bigger during testing?

[Chadwick781]

I think they have too much water in the pool because the boat completely stops before it even makes it half way across. Maybe thats why there was a bigger splash.

[dxcody2]

This is just my theory but i think it was also because when they have water rushing down the slide, it raises the little cart thing up a little so it doesnt dip down the front end into the water as much. That was what i was thinking i could be wrong though.

[asaisaac]

No, because the water is always rushing down the side

[dxcody2]

not during this test it wasnt.

[KevSmithRULES34]

i went there yesterday and no water was going down the slide

[hibye1236]

It is so not worth the wait. i rode it yesterday. its a 45 minute wait for a 15 second ride! its stupid and you have water going in your eyes the whole way down

[Chimkmunk]

one of my friends got stuck at the top for 45 minutes! He said he was a nervous wreck up there and didnt like climbing down the ladder, but he got 4 free passes from it!

[orangebownanens]

some kids at school told me this wasnt a very good ride :P

[Chimkmunk]

really? i plan on ridding it 2morrow with some people from my class, i hope its good....

[Shaggychurchshoes]

how was the ride?

[wwwTHEMEPARKSPYcom]

That ride looks amazing, And one of our coaster critics will be rideing it very soon :-)

TPS Rep.

[jonny228]

The water is maybe a couple inches too high. I think it is mainly a poor boat design. This is still not as big of a splash as they had estimated and it happens way too soon. They are looking for a splash this big or bigger about 10-15 feet farther.

[HoliBlogger]

It's a company called IntaRide.

[ZN11233]

intamin..i think

[coastermadab]

Who manufactured this ride?

[starshinesarah1899]

im going tomorrow and going to ride this ride it il be so fun!!

[raechelrenegade]

Holiday World needs to build some steel coasters.

[orangebownanens]

definately

[whoaemileigh]

@raechelrenegade

i know but they cant because its a family park

[raechelrenegade]

@whoaemileigh Family parks can't have steel coasters?! Have you heard of Disney World, Six Flags, Busch Gardens, Cedar Point, Kings Island, Kings Dominion, any other theme park? They are all family places. What you said is absolutely ridiculous. They can't get a certain type of coaster because it's a family park? They can, they are just choosing not to. It being a "family" park has nothing to do with it.

[whoaemileigh]

@raechelrenegade

ummmm their not ALL fami,y parks and it is because of that i just dont know why!

[raechelrenegade]

@whoaemileigh They're*

[whoaemileigh]

@raechelrenegade

oh wow congratulations you know how to spell! your point?

[jephsteph]

I'm so excited about this new ride. I love this park and the people who work there!!!!!!!!!!

[HoliBlogger]

Please remember...that video was taken on the first day of testing. That's what testing is for ... lots of fine-tuning takes place. It's part of the process--no worries!

[brimancandy]

Gee, that did hit the water pretty hard. The fact that it came to a dead stop, is not good. I think, it needs more of a track lead into the water, otherwise it will never open.

I wonder what the owners of the park think about this. It does not look like it went well.

[BigTylerAustin]

They could just lower the water level and see how that works out.

[jbrollercoasters]

LOL... I see it needs a little adjustment and maybe a more gradual entry into the water so nobody gets whip-lashed...

[PhilipB2010]

Ok...So that was not as cool I was hoping.... :(

[Jcoaster95]

I'm guessing it's going to go farther :)

but, Cool!

[killerstump]

Cool thanks so much

I'm syked

[HoliBlogger]

Don't know for sure ... but I would guess next week sometime.

[killerstump]

When will the next testing video be posted?

[HoliBlogger]

Not to worry, Scott, that's what testing is for...test and adjust, test and adjust.

[kevkev44]

Amaaazing! I cannot WAIT until this opens

[ScottCLE]

Watch when the boat hits the water at 17 seconds. It levels out, hits the water, makes a short and painful looking jump, hits the water again hard, starts to really slow down then pretty much stops.

Still looks really fun! =)

[michaelhenriquesrj]

Ur right

[Chick6517]

Great moment caught on camera. =D Thank God for youtube in which we can upload all of our crazy videos like this. haha

[dandtvest]

The lines for this are gonna be crazy!

I'll just ride the voyage like 20 times a day until the lines cool down haha :D

[HoliBlogger]

Yes, the splash has only begun to ... splash. :0)

[DBru28]

Looks great, and I'm sure that splash will just get bigger as testing continues!

[ThorpeParkNewCoaster]

Dude you awesome thank you so much for this video!

[asaisaac]

yay
