Have you ever been in a mine shaft? It’s a vertical hole that goes deep into the earth. And it’s dark. Like pitch-black, absolutely-no-light-anywhere, can’t-see-anything dark. Midnight dark. Combine the absolute darkness and a vertical drop with a water slide and what do you have? The Mine Shaft water slide at WildWater Adventure.
You grab (or perhaps bribe) a couple of friends to board an inflatable raft with you, you’re involuntarily propelled into a cavernous, watery abyss with zero control over your direction, your spinning pattern or your rate of speed. You feel like you’re in this cavernous craziness for close to forever, even though it’s only mere seconds. However, at the end is a calming, cooling curtain of water to soothe those nerves that just about lost it.
Sound fun? Trust us when we say it’s packed with tons of mind-bending fun that you’ll want to tell everyone about.
