Aquatic adventure OdySea new at Lagoon for 2008
The $3 million attraction will be an aquatic adventure, catering to families. It is an obstacle-course ride with interactive controls, offering riders a chance to stay dry, get wet or get wetter.
Lagoon spokesman Dick Andrew said OdySea is a circular ride, resembling an octopus. It has 12 gondolas that carry up to two children and one adult at a time. Set over a pond of water, the riders have a joystick to control the height of their gondola. The gondola can soar up to 25 feet high and avoid or not avoid water jets.
OdySea is a German-made ride, manufactured by Zierer. Lagoon's new $10 million ride last year, Wicked, also was manufactured by Zierer.
Lagoon will be open weekends in April and May, weather permitting. The amusement park will open daily for the summer on June 2.
