And yet another attraction has just opened up, Carowinds’ new wave pool, Bondi Beach. Screamscape has a bunch of photos of the new wave pool and other park photos. The new wave pool looks very sunny, there isn’t much shade at all around the pool. Hopefully they’ll add some more shade structures or umbrellas. That’s one thing that I hate about most water parks, there is an extreme lack of shade…not cool.

From Movie to Ride
Written by Eric   
Sunday, 18 May 2008

The Weekly Topic is back! For this week I ask the question: What movie do you want to see turned into a ride?

The Life Aquatic. If you’ve seen the movie, you’d know that it is full of fun, color, and great music. These attributes are always good for a great ride.

For those of you that don’t know, The Life Aquatic is a story of Steve Zissou, played by Bill Murray , as he tries to hunt down the illusive Jaguar Shark. The story is similar to Moby Dick as Captain Ahab searches for the white whale, but the movie is similar to a Jacques Cousteau film. The Life Aquatic incorporates live action, stop animation, and other fantasy elements.

In other words, The Life Aquatic is not your typical movie. It has fun, color, and great music, a perfect fit for an amusement park ride. Since the movie is very aquatic oriented, it could make for a great water ride. Perhaps a water coaster or even an Intamin Aqua Trax.

By combining dark ride elements with a coaster, The Life Aquatic could offer a great ride. The awesome music would also add a great layer to the ride.
