 | | Ride Expansion Planned at Magic Springs/Crystal Falls -- Themeparks LLC, which operates the combination Magic Springs/Crystal Falls theme and water parks at Hot Springs, has announced plans to unveil by Memorial Day 2005 its new "Plummet Summit," a $2-million, shoot-the-chute splash ride capable of carrying 1,000 passengers per hour. |
 | | Dan Aylward, COO of Themeparks, said, "The ride will be the biggest of its kind in our region." The new ride will feature two 19-foot, 20-passenger boats that will be transported to the top of a 50-foot hill, where they will be released into a down-chute with a 180-degree curve. |
 | | The boats will accelerate to approximately 34 miles an hour as they traverse the chute, before creating a huge splash upon reaching the bottom. |
