\nThe waters are rising, and another tidal wave is on its way to Amity. Climb aboard a raft and go high to the sky, but be careful, what goes up, must come down!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
<\/span><\/p>\n
Storm Surge was new for 2011, and whilst some view it has already outstayed its welcome due to its low capacity, it still offers thrill-seekers a very disorientating spinning water ride into the Amity rapids below! The ride originally operated in the USA at the now-closed Cypress Gardens, but was moved to Thorpe, given a make-over to make it fit in with the tidal wave-damaged Amity area, and received some additional theming too (keep an eye out for the broken plumbing and water buoys!) A combination of Rumba Rapids and Tidal Wave, Storm Surge offers adventurers the thrills of the heights without the scariness of the speed.<\/span><\/p>\n
Standing taller than the neighbouring Pyramid holding The Walking Dead: The Ride, at 64ft, Storm Surge slowly takes lift rafts of up to six escapees from the rising waters of Amity to its peak, offering a great view of the next tidal wave to hit the village, which can be savoured due to the relatively slow lift hill. After reaching the top, its non-stop spinning as you tumble down and down and around and around until the final two drops dunk you down into the stormy water below.<\/span><\/p>\n
