Go Back To: .Forbidden Valley.
Ride type: |  |
The Blade is a swinging boat ride, situated at the top of Forbidden Valley, as its name suggests it is themed as a giant swinging blade. It fits into the valley very well and its rusty appearance and yellow and black stripes match with nearby Ripsaw.
It is built on a huge four-legged tubular steel rig and can seat up to 45 passengers. The boat takes barely half a dozen swings for it to reach its near vertical position, at that point you feel weightless. There is rarely a large queue and when there is a queue it is because guests wait for the back seats that offer a more thrilling ride, because they go higher into the air.
