Poland Spring Plunge at Great Adventure has it and sometimes uses it.-----------------

Yea the "poland spring plunge" at Sixflags Great Adventure has it but I never knew what both sides of the chutes where for, but it only uses the left side.Maybe it dose us both chutes? ,I been riding it since it was called Asian Towers or somthing to that sort and it never did. But I love that ride I just dont like the new name. I thought maybe they use to race down the chutes? My grandmother has a very old Great Adventure decrative plate in her house and you see both sides with boats racing down the chutes at the same time. And the plate is years old ,my mother bought it for her in the erlie 80's. Qestion thou is it ment to be that the boats hop when they hit the water.. Thats the best part... Also i think Coal Cracker at Hershey park uses two chutes... cant really remember.
From my point of view, on many of the hydro-flumes you wouldn't safely be able to have a boat occupy the run-out and the down chute at the same time, simply because if the boat in the runout flips or gets stuck for whatever reason, there is nothing stopping the boat going down the other chute from ramming it. But I only know about the safety system of the one at my home park, others could be different.
