Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon water tube question

[ArielRae]

I was wondering what rides at the water parks do you have to carry your own tube up stairs so you can ride?

 

[hockey mom]

BB- Downhill double dipper

TL- The gusher rides

Thats all I can think of

 

[ArielRae]

Oh one more question is there only one way to get to these rides so that you don't pass the tubes. I'm worried we will be at the top and not have a tube but want to ride this ride. If there is only one way up to ride I'll be less worried. I don't want to be all the way up there to have to go back down for the tube.

TL---Crush'n Gusher which has 3 slides all accessed from one stairway....there are rides for 2 and rides for 3 people.

BB---Downhill Double Dipper which is a single rider race almost sraight down.
---Red Slopes which has 3 slides off of one stairway....single and double riders.

You must pick up the tubes before you go up the stairs on all the tube rides.

A question about crush N' Gusher can you go down all the slides with three people tubes? If not what ones only allow for two people tubes. It will be DH, Mom, and I and don't want anyone left out.

There is an overhead sign, before you go up the stairs, that shows which 2 slides allow 3 riders. Only 1 of the slides is a 2 rider. You can ride the 3 person slides with only 2 riders. If you get to the top and find yourself in the wrong line they will just move you over.

Do they tell you how you have to sit in the tubes according to your weight? Do they make the lighter people sit up front then the heaviest in the back?

We loved this water slide/coaster, and rode it several times on our recent trip last week . One word of advice though...lift up your rear end! The ride attendant will advise you to scooch ahead in the tube as much as possible. If your butt is sticking out too far at the bottom of the tube, you may get a bit of an unwanted surprise !

I just saw you posted from Syracuse. That's where I'm posting from right now! Small world!

 

[PoohIs#1]

Don't forget Keelhaul, Mayday Falls and Gangplank at TL. The first two are single and the last is a family raft ride.

They do seat you according to weight at Crush n Gusher. I never tried to ask if we could switch. My daughter won't ride the three person tube with us because the front person gets all the spray in the face.

 

[ArielRae]

I'm guessing they put the lightest in the front right? We tend to flip the tube when a light person is in front. We like the heaviest in front to smooth it out when we splash down.

Thanks for the info everyone!

Can I wear a two piece on the Crush n Gusher? I am not taking any one piece suits with me.

Not really sure on this one.....they do put the lighter person in the front if there is a major weight difference such as an adult and a child. You can ride single if you want. It might even be more comfortable.
