Toxic, psychotic, self-aggrandizing drama queens simply aren't worth me spending my time on.

200 isn't all that bad, but then again your just guessing. If only i had the time for one of those.

looks like the same exact tactics some 190 drivers use. Is that a grizzly bear over there? :bolt:
They call it "common sense", then why is it so uncommon?

There was one in Pigeon Forge, TN.  That was a few years ago though and attractions tend to come and go there.

The one in Pigeon Forge has been there for a while.  I got to do it about 10 years ago on a trip down there.  It is AMAZING fun... basically an airplane propeller in the bottom of a tube, with a trampoline style screen overtop of it (although the gaps int he material are quite a bit wider to allow the airflow to move more freely)

TONS of fun,
Definitely a must do again, when I get back down there!
