Wisconsin Dells, WI, USA /PRWEB/ — The Lunar Loop and Cosmic Drop EXTREME “stomach dropping” adventures are now open at the Wilderness Territory, America’s Largest Waterpark Resort located in Wisconsin Dells.
According to Joe Eck, general manager for the Wilderness Hotel & Golf Resort, “These unbelievably cool slides are taking the Wilderness Territory’s waterparks to new extremes, and are definitely not meant for the faint-hearted.”
Both rides begin when a guest steps into a launch capsule. Facing forward with their arms crossed and everyone watching, the guest then waits for a countdown to begin. After hearing, three-two-one a trap door located in each of the floors swings open and leads to incredible five-story drops below.
The Lunar Loop propels daring guests at speeds of nearly 40 mph into a nearly vertical spiral over the Lost World Adventure River while the Cosmic Drop is a straight five-story plunge that feels like a heart-pounding free fall.
Eck adds, “The intensity of these rides is beyond extreme. Guests accelerate from zero to 2.5 g in less than two seconds on the Lunar Loop and both rides last under 7 seconds!”
The slides are located on the same tower as the Halley’s Comet Racers in the Lost World Waterpark at Glacier Canyon Lodge. Like all Wilderness Territory waterpark amenities, they are reserved exclusively for resort guests.
The slides are not the only new thing at the Wilderness. In January, the resort unveiled the indoor Northern Lights Sky Ropes Course. It allows adventure enthusiasts to take fun to a whole new level at our resort as they climb through 42 challenges in varying degrees of difficulty all while being harnessed in 30 feet above the Northern Lights Mega Arcade at the Wilderness Resort.
