Cariba Creek gets space bowl for 2006!

Got an idea of how the Alton Towers Resort may develop over the coming seasons? Discuss it here.

Apparently for 2006 cariba creek will be receiving a extension and new ride, a Space Bowl type ride might be installed. Apparently with a unique feature to make it differ from other space bowls! :D :D

You no them 2p things that you place on the outside of a circular thing and let go and watching it spin its way down to the hole then drop. One of them. Ive never been on one as i think it would make me sick or catch me legs on the throught the hole :roll:

They really are not that scary! I mean, the thought can be a little scary because you dont know whats going to happen to you in the bowl thing, but its nothing to really be scared of.
What a fad.

This would be a great addition. they have one at Waterworld in stoke, and i thought that CC would have one anyway, i was surprised when i found out there was not one.

I have been on one, there is a massive swimming pool at stoke-on-trent with loads of slides and things, there is a bowl there you go down a slide, go into a bowl and dependent on weight and how you enter the bowl you can spin around in there for ages or you can spin there once and drop down the middle into a 6-7ft pool!

Yes! The one i have been on is the one in stoke! Its not very big though. The one in AT would probably be a little bigger!

They have one in Waves at Blackburn. I always seem to spin around and get stuck on the dry bit.

That would make an excellent addition IMHO. I have been on a similar slide in Barnsley at the Metrodome. I wonder what they could do to make it different?

They could have water guns for the kids so they can shoot water at the people in the bowl!

The ones at wet n wild in orlando are excellent.......better than stoke because there steeper and so faster.....except from when you plunge into the freezing cold tank below it!!
