Notes

Pleasure Beach Resort lists no minimum height when accompanied and 3.9 feet for solo riding on Diego's Rainforest Rescue. Coasterpedia identifies the ride as a Zamperla Balloon Tower / Samba Tower with a Go, Diego, Go! theme. Zamperla model data for the Samba Tower 8 supports 8 baskets and 4 riders per basket; the existing opening date of May 4, 2011 remains unchanged.

Theming

The Go, Diego, Go! theme turns the ride into a light rainforest rescue mission in the sky.

Typical wait time: around 4 min.

It usually falls between 3 min and 8 min.

See more than 8 min? It is probably busier than usual — consider a quieter moment.

Less than 3 min? You are in luck: that does not happen often.
