the waterwonderland at minehead...

Post by BLOCwknd »

we spent all weekend at ATP, eating hot dogs and scoping out the venue so that we can make it as radically thrilling as possible for you good people.

I am so thoroughly pleased to be able to report back that the 4 waterslides at Minehead are the best out of any previously encountered by our team. There is one that you climb in a raft to go on, one that shoots you along at the speed of sound in pitch blackness, and perhaps best of all - one that fires you into a giant funnel the size of a double decker bus, where you shoot around the rim at speeds not previously thought possible and gradually spiral into a tiny hole at its base, a mess of giddy, excited arms and legs.

what a treat!
