Hi Everyone,
If anyone was involved in an accident on the Typhoon ride (It's the enclosed tunnel ride. You need a 2 person raft to ride this ride.), PLEASE CONTACT ME. I need your help in making a case against Waterworld's hazardous ride...to ensure safety to the children and all others that come here.
Please email me at "jenniiius@gmail.com" (there are 3 i's)
I went to Waterworld on Monday September 1, 2008 with my boyfriend and some friends. We went down the Typhoon(?), the enclosed tunnel slide that requires a 2person raft. I read the sign, followed the instructions of the lifeguard up top: the heavier person sat in back(my boyfriend), and the lighter person sat in front(me). We sat in our little raft, and held on to the sides for safety, or so I thought.
As we're going down, we gain a lot of speed. As we start gaining speed, we take a sharp turn and the raft loses control. It flips up to the right side and we both fall out of the raft, and CRASH into the left side of the tunnel slide.
The left side of my head CRASHES into the tunnel wall, my boyfriend crashes into the side as well and into me. We tumble out of the slide disoriented, the raft, me, then my boyfriend in that order.
I had a raging migraine, the left side of my head was pounding, my neck and shoulder were cramped up beyond belief and I was very dizzy and disoriented.
Some EMT or lifeguard girl came up to me to ask if I was okay and followed through a series of questions to ensure that I did not have a concussion. She told me I should go get checked out at the hospital, and that Waterworld would cover any out of pocket expenses.
I had to go to the ER twice, I got a CAT scan done, and was then referred to an ear specialist. I had the WORST migraine ever, Aching muscle strains from my neck, shoulder, down to my back, and a TERRIBLE EAR INFECTION in my ear canal and my cartilage. (My ear got swolllen, I started losing my hearing, and I had piercing pain).
HOW DIRTY is the water that all this happened?
What's even more shady is that Waterworld and their insurance company are making it very difficult to get the hospital expenses covered.
Parents, PLEASE do not take your children here. PLEASE do not go on this ride. It's hazardous. AND...they don't take responsibility for it after accidents happen. I REALLY believe they should shut down this ride or do something about it. 2 accidents on yelp, are 2 too many. I'm sure it has happened before as well.
