SFGAm/SFHH will be adding a ProSlide Tornado water slide to Hurricane Harbor for the 2006 season. More information can be found here:

I know that they're all over, but I've never managed to ride a tornado before...so I think I'm one of the few people actually looking forward to this addition.

I really don't see myself going to Hurrican Harbor anytime soon, I gotta get my abs back if I wanna go there lol Winter really got to me

WATCH TORNADO CONSTRUCTION HERE! LIVE WEBCAM...

That's really cool, I didn't know that the funnel would be that big. WOW

75 feet tall. It's the Third Proslide Tornado I've seen. Hope its good, cause I've never ridden one.

That is so....BIG!

Looks like they're just about done with assembling the structure.

Looks like they're starting the actual slide now.

The tower for the platform has also gone up. (triple post, sorry)

Tornado is DONE! People were testing it this afternoon. I will post a small video of people on it soon.

Dose eneyone think they should of made a other ride then tornado? I would say like a body slide. :roll:

=ADMIN NOTE: Because you are still new here I will give you one more warning. Please use proper spelling or you will be suspended.=

Don't we have them already? I think we do, but I'm not sure. I remember SFEG had something called the Edge last year which looked pretty cool, but it did the same thing as the tornado, just without the top of the funnel.

Isn't this somewhat the same idea as Stingray from Noah's Ark?

It's like the halfpipe waterslide.

That is so....BIG! - FRD714

From the parking lot the funnel doesn't actually look that big. When ur standing in front of it though, IT'S HUGE!!!

It looks big from everywhere, especially the parking lot.

Maybe a little bit. Not really.

I dont like how they have all the bars surrounding it.

Ya it's been leaking alot lately. I remember the first time I went on it it like wasn't even leaking. Now it's like gushing.

lol

Ya it's not good lol

Yah, Tornado tied for second for the best new Wateride of 06.http://www.amusementtoday.com/

That's kinda weird.

I think it wouldnt of tied if that accident didnt happen.

ya probably.

Is HH still closed?

I would think so.

Yes.

I liked the Tornado it was a little boring at first but I liked it a lot

I think it's better than the other ones. I don't know if it's worth the wait though.

it was 15 minutes to get the tube and an hour and a half just to get up the dumb stairs

To me the stairs are fast, it's getting the tube and waiting in that long strip that seem like forever.

It was an hour and a half for us, it was stupid

Forgive me for bumping an old topic...

However I was at the Tornado media day...EPIC FAIL

They didn't even open Tornado to the guests of media day, they just let life guards ride for the filming.

Yeah it was pretty much :shoot:


IMHO

We all got hurt on that thing when it first opened. Haven't been on it since.

too bad the lazy river is filthy looking now i remember when it was clean looking and had that wave channel at the back near the family slides.

If you look closely the lazy river is drivit/cement over treated lumber construction. I don't know how it doesn't leak like a siv or rot away.

never noticed that i do remember that they used to have a wave channel in the thing then they took it out but it looked like the bottom of my high school swimming pool which i constantly was getting sick from so thats another reason not to go for me

It is a rather strange type of construction for an underwater location. I sure hope that treated lumber wasn't the older version which were treated with Arsenic! Besides being poisonous it wouldn't react well with chlorine. It would cause black/green staining of concrete. It maybe the cause of what you are seeing.
