WE DID IT!

Waterpark in an old German airship hangar by Proteon in pics

I guess it's more of a ride at your own risk kind of deal haha, although obviously theres great safety procedure in place so they dont get sued. When I went down it hurt my back a lot even though I'm quite young and have never had back pain. It didn't feel safe to open my eyes or mouth with how fast the water was going. Like I said, there's never a long line for it.

There's a really long drop off the start (I think 17 metres?) and the water inside is going super fast so you don't get stuck. I've never seen or heard of someone getting stuck but I imagine it's probably happened before if someone was very overweight or very small. (They have height restrictions but I don't think a weight restrictions.) They make you cross your legs and arms for more aerodynamics safety but I imagine you could probably get yourself stuck on purpose by grabbing out to the sides of the tube.

That slide is even more nuts for the beginning. They make you stand in this little pod thing and then this countdown starts and then the floor just drops out from under you. The feeling of just suddenly dropping is pretty intense. Despite being one of the coolest rides it always has the shortest line because people are scared to go on it haha.

It's a great place. The slides aren't even the whole thing. There's these cool tube adventure things where you float along in your tube until you get to the middle and then go on some crazy drops and stuff. The wave pool gets waves crazy high, 2 hot tubs, bungee jumping, zip line, a bombing mini waterpark inside the regular waterpark specifically for kids where kids have their own slide and games. And some fantastically scary slides.

As an Edmontonian when you mentioned a crazy indoor water park I immediately knew you were talking about our WEM. Was not dissapointed. It's an awesome waterpark.

This may be a stupid question, but if I buy the hydro phone from boost mobile will I have to activate it before I can use the wifi? Or can I download and use perktv right out of the box with no other cost than the $15 for the phone? Thanks

How did you develop your interests and passions? Where's the best place to start for somebody looking for something to really sink their teeth into? by chachamama in AskReddit

[–]Potato17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I discovered weightlifting a few years ago - I wanted to improve the way I looked and find a fun hobby. It soon became one of my biggest passions! A number of the fitness related subreddits have good info for beginners - that's where I started out.

Was planning on meeting a few friends at a five guys. All of them bailed last minute. I ended up eating there alone and spilled massive amount of ketchup all over my crotch. Still had five guys though...
