Depth Charge

Vierbaans waterglijbaan bij Amity waar families in dinghys tegelijk naar beneden racen.

Depth Charge is een simpele maar effectieve waterklassieker: vier banen naast elkaar, een dinghy onder je en een race naar beneden. De attractie is meer glijbaanwedstrijd dan darkride of boottocht, en past daardoor goed bij gezinnen die een natte, korte competitie zoeken zonder grote thrillscore.

Notes

Officiele Thorpe Park-bron: Depth Charge is een vierbaans super slide met 0,90 m minimumlengte. Wikipedia vermeldt opening in 1991, NV Aquatic als fabrikant en de context als eerste vierbaans dinghy-waterglijbaan in het Verenigd Koninkrijk.

Theming

Depth Charge gebruikt vooral het strand- en watergevoel van Amity: racen over vier glijbanen, met de splash als beloning.

Typical wait time: around 25 min.

It usually falls between 15 min and 30 min.

See more than 30 min? It is probably busier than usual — consider a quieter moment.

Less than 15 min? You are in luck: that does not happen often.
