I loved the fact that this tour has three different slides; you can go further and further and get a different experience each time. Yes, you have to lug a light but heavy set all those stairs, but it's just a bit of exercise and doesn't detract from the fact that the slides themselves are impressive. I loved the fact that, because I was sitting on a raft, I didn't feel each of the tube shafts scraping along with my backside (and legs, and back) as I went down. That really rubbing got really annoying on the standard slide-no-butt rides in this park.
