Rim Runner (Official POV) AdventureDome Las Vegas "Defunct"

Описание к видео Rim Runner (Official POV) AdventureDome Las Vegas "Defunct"

Rim Runner was an Arrow Dynamics Shoot-the-Chutes located at Adventuredome theme park at Circus Circus Las Vegas and was one of the world's longest and tallest indoor water flume rides with a height of 65 feet and a drop of 60 feet.

Ride layout:
Riders boarded on the second level of the park. Each boat held up to 15 passengers in three rows of five secured by a single-position lap bar that spanned each row. Once dispatched, conveyor belts moved the boat into the water to start the ride. The boat slowed as it entered a "lake" area and made a right turn. The water was at its deepest point at this point, approximately 12 feet, as this was the main reservoir for the ride. Another set of conveyor belts lifted the boat out of the water, into a tunnel and onto the one and only chain lift for the ride. As riders ascended the dimly lit cavern, pin points of light that look like eyes flicker. During the annual Halloween event, Fright Dome, special music and extra decoration filled the lift tunnel. At the top, there was a slight drop-off the chain as the boat heads toward the drop. What's not shown here is an animatronic "falling rock" that teetered close to the boat. This area was once filled with an extremely dense layer of mist, to obscure riders' vision of what lies ahead. At this point, the Canyon Blaster was mere feet above the heads of Rim Runner passengers. Another set of conveyor belts positioned the boat for its final plunge, an 80-foot camelback drop to a wet conclusion. A final right-hand turn placed the boat at the final set of conveyor belts that lifted the boat out of the water and back into the station.

Rim Runner officially closed to the public on February 3, 2013 to make room for El Loco. The boat storage area, lift hill & trough leading to the drop still remain standing.
