Sklooosh! is a fun O.D. Hopkins shoot the chute ride that is an excellent ride on a hot day because you get drenched. Located to the left of the park entrance at the front of the park, Sklooosh! is surrounded by some trees. With the basic shoot the chute layout, this one has a giant viking statue at the main entrance. Generally a walk-on because of its good capacity, Sklooosh! has 2 boats each seating up to 20 riders. There are 5 rows each seating 4 riders. My favorite row is the front because of the view. Sklooosh! has a red boat and a blue boat. Once Sklooosh begins, the boat slowly climbs up the 50ft lift hill next to trees. Once at the top, the boat approaches the drop and goes around a right-hand U-turn. You then plunge down the steep 50ft drop with a head-chopper during the drop. A branch from a nearby tree sticks over the drop. At the bottom Sklooosh!s boat makes a massive splash thats just as tall as the ride soaking riders on the ride and guests on a bridge after the ride. You then slowly return to the station ending the ride. After the ride I stood on the bridge and got soaked by the splash the boat after mine made. I got wetter on the bridge than on the ride. Overall, an excellent way to cool off on a hot day. Anyone who enjoys water rides or shoot the chutes shouldnt miss Sklooosh!
