What should have been on my bucket list: the extreme body slide

During the boyfriend’s stay-cation a couple weeks ago, we enjoyed a perfectly-sunny (and low on the humidity) day at the water park: SANDCASTLE (just a short 15-minute drive outside the city).

I was mostly interested in sitting on a tube in the lazy river all day. The boyfriend, however, was more psyched about doing the super slides. You know, the ones that I have sworn off since I was a kid watching in awe (and observing the serious cases of boob slippage and wedgies). And an aside: I HATE waterslides without using a tube or mat of some sort.

Regardless: enter the Lightning Express — EXTREME BODY SLIDE.

From the Sandcastle website:

The Lightning Express tower is 60-feet high, featuring two double dip slide channels and one free-fall slide. Each body slide chute is 250-feet long. Brave thrill seekers will enjoy THE MONSTER, a free-fall slide, starting 85-feet above the finish, with a gradual slope glide of 25-feet, that drops to a steep 60-feet, hitting speeds up to 25 miles per hour! Each slide finishes in a 4-inch deep braking lane of water. Riders must be 48″ to slide

Yeah. I went on that. BOTH of them, in fact (I declined an additional run on THE MONSTER and opted for the shorter of the two extreme slides for EXTREME SLIDE Adventure Take 2). And I shook with nervousness the entire time that I was on that platform. That swayed with the wind, mind you.

Glad I got that out of my system.

If you need to find me, I’ll be chill-axing, passed out on some Xanax, on a raft in the Lazy River.
