Nic, I'm sorry if I gave you the wrong impression but my post mainly refers to the ride in terms of length. I mention the elements as a factor; however, I do not get into if the elements themselves are good or not.
Length is not an opinion it is a fact. A ride can only be say so many hundred feet and thats it. They don't add on to the ride or take away from the ride in between rides. If you compare the actual length of Colossal Curl to Aquazoid, Colossal Curl is quite short.
Speed is a contributing variable that has the ability to change. Speed mainly changes due to weather conditions, water pressure, weight, etc. Speed is something you do have to actually ride it to know. I can't speak for speed itself,a dn in my original post I make no claim that I do.
Timing is also a contributing factor that changes just like speed. Speed actually effects timing greatly. Timing is something that you can record without riding and can compare to other rides in similar conditions. I have not personally checked out the times; however, I can only assume due to the length of the ride, the ride itself can be quite short; however, the timing can be extended by part of the ride slowing down as some had mentioned making the ride seem longer.
Overall, my post was not taking into account any real opinion based on experience, timing, speed, etc. My post was stating the simple fact, judging by length, Colossal Curl is not the longest and is actually surpassed by a few slides in the park. I do understand that my terminology may be confusing due to the fact that length and time use some of the same words such as 'longest', 'shortest', etc. I also mainly do apologize for referring to the ride as bad or good as I was not referring to the experience but comparing the actual length (size) of the rides.
