Howlin' Tornado

My least favorite ride was the Howlin' Tornado. You climb about 4 stories worth of stairs, and then get on a 4-man, round raft. You gently go through a few curves and then abruptly drop 15 feet into a funnel. You swirl back and forth on the side of the funnel before entering its mouth and coming out this end.
Hubby and #1 managed to do it 3 times, but I only needed once to have enough. The lifeguard put me in backwards and I told him NOT to let me go down backward. His remark? "That was a vicious look." I meant business.
At least these two came off looking less vicious than I did. We had a good time, but I wouldn't list this as part of it.
