omg...they are going REALLY fast. Incredible control, but how do these drivers remain so consistant that they are willing to take passengers on board? Definitely scary.

How in the heck does it go that shallow with jet's? Im always worried about seaweed and sand...this thing looks like it could be sucking up rocks from that place

 

[RFoster130]

Wow that looks like fun. Numerous times it looks like it is very close to smashing into some very large rocks. Those drivers must be very consistent.

Wow. That's putting a lot of faith into someone elses driving skills.

I wonder how high their insurance costs are!

I lived in Queenstown a few years ago and did this. It's insane - the water really is ~6 inches deep in places and they get you unbelievably close to the walls. The boats all have huge scuff marks and dents where they 'missed'. In NZ, you can't really sue anyone. They have signs everywhere basically saying 'Know your boundaries cause if you get hurt, it's your bad'.

Awesome place. You should also check out videos for the Canyon Swing and the Luge. Crazy fun place.
