Ripsaw

Pics	Ripsaw
	Well the 1997 park season opened with yet again another ride this year it was ripsaw which is a huss top spin. It takes 40 people at a time through a sequence of spins depending on which setting it is on the most popular is about 1 minute 30 seconds long and it consists off a few swings back and forward and locks the gondola so riders are lying down and takes them up to the top and releases them to freely spin back down then a few more swings and then the big finally it holds the gondola again and slowly lowers it down into the fountains for a nice drenching. To put it all in a nut shell its a washing machine. The ride its self is made up of two arms and a gondola the arms move up to heights of 50ft. A good thing about Ripsaw is that it takes 40 people at a time so the queues stay around 10 mins
	My opinion
	My personal opinion of Ripsaw is that its just pure fun when I get on with my friends I just laugh my ass off but now and then there's times when the setting is a bit slow or boring and we don't get that wet but eh well what you gonna do about it get in the Queue again that's what!
