AquaDuck. An at sea "Water Coaster"

AquaDuck. An at sea "Water Coaster"

Ok.. Disney Dorks. Ive been drooling since announcement and of course have to share.. The information of Disney's new ship is out and one of the coolest things Ive seen so far is the AquaDuck water coaster.

Granted its just a glorified pipline ride, but this design is a first for any cruise line ship and is totally cool. Naturally I am ready for the Inaugural cruise

It looks cool. It's kind a fun seeing how they used both the clear acrylic tubes and the dark tubes.

I want one.

The wife and kids are doing the four-day Bahamian on the Wonder for mid-winter break this Febraury. They had talked about doing Universal for mid-winter in 2011, but if they have a ton of fun (and I'm sure they will) they might want to sail on the Dream instead...

I hope they have figured out a way to filter out the infrared rays from the sun. The last translucent water slide I did was one huge steam pipe--I couldn't wait for it to be over.

It's Disney. Plus, it can't be that hard to find clear pipe with some sort of UV coating in or applied to it.
