Was the vortex the one without the mats, or was that Cyclone:confused: The one with the mats you could stop and climb round and hang on the top of the tube so everyone went under you:laugh: Always rattled my head off the stingray with that wee bend.

Think it was the "River Rapids" that you could stop youself and get a yellow card from the guards on duty. They were the days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boaby Ewing Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 That was quite mental right enough. Is it still there? Vortex was always my favourite one. The flumes were taken down years ago... tis a shame. There was a fantastic urban legend about someone planting a razor blade on The Stingray when I was a nipper.

cosanostra Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Were there 3 or 4 flumes? I can remember river rapids which was the slowest one, vortex which was quicker and the stingray which only lasted a few seconds. You had to take a mat for the first 2 but not the stingray. The done thing was ditching the mat out of view of the lifeguards and going down without it as it made you go much faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a fantastic urban legend about someone planting a razor blade on The Stingray when I was a nipper. That same rumour went round my school. Razor blades stuck on with chewing gum i'd heard. Kind of like the urban legend that everyone at school had a friend who knew someone who kidnapped a penguin from the zoo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazio Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 There was a fantastic urban legend about someone planting a razor blade on The Stingray when I was a nipper. When I was a nipper that was the story told about Porty baths waterslides. People from all over Britain claim it happened in their local pool. I', convinced it has probably never happened anywhere.

You're right about the mats on the first 2. One of them had wee drops throughout it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were four: The big white one (River Rapids IIRC) Crazy fast one (Stingray) Then the two normal ones - I think Vortex had more drops, Cyclone had more corners, but they were both much-of-a-muchness.

cosanostra Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Never even heard it. Why such a random story?! Some mates and I in the pub once, all from different areas of Scotland but all roughly the same age, agreed that we had all heard a rumour at school about a guy who had stolen a penguin from Edinburgh zoo. Some people had names for the guy but none had met him. Kind of like the razor blades in the river rapids. Loads of people have heard about it but has anyone ever been cut by one? Highly likely that both were a load of baws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
