Minimum height to ride: 54 inches

About Riptide

The very first Mondial Splash Over prototype to be installed at the park features a slight variaton on the HUSS Top Spin. Two gondolas consisting of twenty seats each preform snap roll-overs and stalls in mid air 50ft above the ground. The individual gondolas are attached to two giant arms that rotate clockwise and counter-clockwise in unison.

I believe it's called RipTide now due to the Paramount naming issues. It's one of the worst installations of this type of ride I've experienced. - Scottland Jacobson
