I've seen shows with these on them. Looks like a blast; I however would have a hard time being a passenger as I am a terrible back seat driver. My wife hates it when I come out on her boat. |

Looks like it is on the same idea as CODZILLA on Boston Harbor only on a smaller scale. There's a video too but I don't know how to link it directly.

New Zealand must have a 150 mm safe passage law.
That looks like a great time. I wonder how liability insurance works over there. I can't imagine any business like that getting insurance in the US. |

I took a ride on the Shotover about 15 years ago when I was in NZ. It was quite a ride. You felt like you were going to ride right into the rocks, then, BANG, a 360 degree turn. Awesome

I know there are sanctioned boat races here in the US using that type of boat on a closed course. |

I had a thread on this once. The sanctioned boat races were in Idaho. I will try to find the link and Youtube video.

Yeah, I've seen footage of jet boats on US rivers, and those closed course sprint races, but I have never seen anything with a bus load of paying passengers hurtling headlong towards rock walls like that.

I just viewed it for the 150th time and after viewing it, I said to myself, who the heck was flying the plane/helicopter taking the aerial views of it going through the different canyons???? That in it's self must be a daring/scary job.

We have a Yamaha lx2000 jet boat. It has 270 hp and is a ton of fun to drive I live it. Fun to do 360s and what not.

A belated Welcome to nhbiglake
nhbiglake, I just noticed that you are fairly new to posting on the forum (only 2 posts in a year) and glad you have joined us. Have fun and enjoy the Winni Forum while making many new friends. I may have welcomed you earlier and have forgotten, but 2 welcomes are better than none.
