Here's a slightly earlier shot..."you are there"! The Autopia passes overhead, as does the Monorail (as you can see in the first photo). At this perspective, it almost looks as if we could ride our boats right into the sub lagoon ahead...just don't hit the "Patrick Henry" over there. Not that you could do anything about it, since you had no control over your boat at all.

Wow, that second "you are there" shot is great! Very unique perspective. I'm sorry I never got to experience this boring ride.
ReplyDeleteI went on it once and was scared out of my wits. Kept saying "slow down, slow down!"
ReplyDeleteI seem to remember there being a pedal you could push to 'accelerate'. I think they kept moving even if you took your foot off. Am I correct?
ReplyDeleteYes, you'd push the pedal, but - no - if you took your foot off it, you'd slowly drift to a stop - but it didn't take much from the boats behind you to push you all the way back to the dock.
ReplyDeleteMy then girlfriend and I would ride these at night for a chance to kiss. Pretty innocent stuff - We have been married for over 40 years now and still love the parks
