@Scott D Rides wouldn't be able to say anymore. I rode perilous plunge before xcelerator but I remember being more frightened by perilous plunge. probably because I was younger though
I have to agree. Perilous plunge had the strongest butterflies in your stomach feeling, even stronger than xcelerator. Like I legit felt my stomach fall out on the way down
The Angry Fireball Can you get whiplash on Plunge? The posters above seem to believe Plunge is actually “scarier” not more intense. Intensity has nothing to do with fear or anticipation.
@@scottyjbd This ride had all the coasters there beat in terms of sheer intensity, nothing topped that free-fall feeling in your stomach throughout the drop, not even Xcelerator's launch. I know because me and my friends were fortunate enough to have season passes throughout our childhood/teen years so we rode everything numerous times, one time we got on Perilous Plunge 5 times in a row near closing time
i remember seeing this thing the first time i went to knotts and i thought to myself "that shit looks unsafe as fuck". and look what happened. the oververt on the drop is insane.
Rest in peace the only ride at knotts that could truly cool you off in the summer. They replaced it with kiddy rides and a boring coaster pretty much. I loved this thing :/
@Taylor5192 I stand in line for the front oe at disneyland you have to ask for the front so they know then they put you off to the side til the next front seat is available or they just let you go up there. But if your at disneyland or disneyworld and you don't tell them you want the front they won't know and they will just put you where ever. You got to let them know.
I went on this twice! So fun! the first time i closed my eyes and the second i didn't. the drop isn't as scary as the ride up to the drop because you get yourself psyched up. if you go on this ride BRING A CHANGE OF CLOTHES! especially if you sit towards the back! you get DRENCHED!!!!
They took out Perilous Plunge and are adding in 3 other rides. On some videos I watched, I saw that some sort of water rocket that made the big splash at the end and I guess the boat didn't really make that big of a splash at all. I am bummed that they took it out.
Is this ride opened this time of the year? I have never been on this ride because every time I go to Knotts the ride is closed. I'm going to Knotts on Wednesday January 4, 2012. Do you think it's opened? I really want to ride it.
@IWearMyCapBackwards well so far the ones I have been to I would have to day Disneyland cause they out do them selfs with awesome rides but Six flags comes to a close second cause they have really cool coasters.
Well the press release said attraction but it's looking like attractions now. Too bad, Knott's could have used a major thrill like Leviathan that was supposed to go to knott's instead of Canada's Wonderland. As for why, Perilous plunge was plagued with issues and did not have a good reputation due to the death...
yeah I remember that that was so long ago good thing I never got on this ride back then but and honestly still havent been on lol everytime I go its closed lol
Maybe I should make a #D version of this so people can watch it with 3D glasses and on their 3D tvs. That way they feel like they are really riding it lol.
When I rode this when I was in middle school, the boat got stuck at the end and we all couldn’t get out lol. Wish someone could find a video of that as it was hilarious
I just went to Knott's today and rode this. It was pretty fun. When we went down it felt like it was longer than a mile. We were very soaked. ( Me,Friend,Cousin,Sister )
When we were in line ,there were these two kids that talked to us and we were next,everybody took the rows,except the front,I was like oh crap!So we sat at the front and had fun.
Oh gosh, it went faster when I went on it last Friday I was thinking 'This ride doesn't go so fast...' and when it went down I instantly flew up in my seat O.O But highly recommend it and it is really fun! And you get drenched! :D
the most intense ride knotts probably ever had imo
Sci Fi Early 2000's Guy uh no. Xcelerators launch is 10 times crazier
@Scott D Rides wouldn't be able to say anymore. I rode perilous plunge before xcelerator but I remember being more frightened by perilous plunge. probably because I was younger though

This was the best water ride there was on knotts
Rest in peace the only ride at knotts that could truly cool you off in the summer. They replaced it with kiddy rides and a boring coaster pretty much. I loved this thing :/
Daniel Ebert well duh theirs more kids now, and their either to big for rides at camp snoopy or to small on the normal rides
And coast rider
It was unnecessary to close a ride because of a death
They still have the River Rapid ride and Log ride that are fun to get wet…
This ride was AWESOME I'm SO SAD they got rid of it
My only complaint is that they always only ran one boat when they could have easily ran two
Daniel Sanders yea
Its sad that someone died on it
Daniel Sanders Someone died
it was probably the scariest ride at knotts
It’s because someone died on it
@14airline they already didnt have a big accident on it a lady died on it then they had to change the restraints from lap bars to OTSR's
I cried when i saw this ride was gone :(
This was my favorite ride there..... The best rides were Perilous Plunge and Excel-orator!!
@halo4578 is it a 80 degree drop cause this one almost goes straight down with its 80 degree drop.
@rosalio43 wait so windseeker is talking the spot of perilous pluge?
Anyone notice that on 1:19 it said "Big D's"?
when i got on that ride, i loved it.
Yeah they need to put something in thats compact cause the park is so small.
Hopefuly they will make a new one this ride was so fun!!
@Taylor5192 I stand in line for the front oe at disneyland you have to ask for the front so they know then they put you off to the side til the next front seat is available or they just let you go up there.

This makes me feel old were all having a great journey on earth we can do so many fun things.
Not sure.
@Supadupa60 OTSR. They used to have different restrains but a lady fell out of the ride.
Will they add it back anytime in soak city?
I went on this twice! So fun! the first time i closed my eyes and the second i didn't. the drop isn't as scary as the ride up to the drop because you get yourself psyched up. if you go on this ride BRING A CHANGE OF CLOTHES! especially if you sit towards the back! you get DRENCHED!!!!
@deathbyillusion so did the shoulder restraints ruin the ride?
Is it rough and headbanging since its shoulder restraints?
I've heard that 2012 was the last season for this. Any updates on that?
Go in the summer it should be open.
Almost its 85 degrees.
@Anaheim2011 not sure but the he comment below from TheMacLady010 said they rode it that day they commented and that was 2 days ago.
I always wanted to get on this ride BUT always was closed :( and it closed for good last year :(
They took out Perilous Plunge and are adding in 3 other rides. On some videos I watched, I saw that some sort of water rocket that made the big splash at the end and I guess the boat didn't really make that big of a splash at all. I am bummed that they took it out.
I rode this ride for my last time in 2008 i believe :. So much fun .. i miss it 😪
This is still open? I thought they closed it a few years ago....
why they took it down? good ride
Is this ride opened this time of the year? I have never been on this ride because every time I go to Knotts the ride is closed. I'm going to Knotts on Wednesday January 4, 2012. Do you think it's opened? I really want to ride it.
I never got to go on it :( n we are gonna go to knotts next Saturday n I was hoping to go on but it's gone :'(
Am I the only one who ever got a chance to ride this?
@shoxclanbros ddin't someone (we hear stories) also die on spacemountain at disneyland for the same reason?
@IWearMyCapBackwards well so far the ones I have been to I would have to day Disneyland cause they out do them selfs with awesome rides but Six flags comes to a close second cause they have really cool coasters.
I went to knotts today and went on the hangtime ride ;D
I would feel the water all the way on boomerang
I went to knots for the the first time in October just to ride this but I was sad that it was gone
I don't think so. From what i saw on the sky cabin, they drained the water.
Well the press release said attraction but it's looking like attractions now. Too bad, Knott's could have used a major thrill like Leviathan that was supposed to go to knott's instead of Canada's Wonderland.
As for why, Perilous plunge was plagued with issues and did not have a good reputation due to the death...
its over the shoulder restraints.
How if your camera still working??
@deathbyillusion its 75 degres. i just checked on the website.
yeah I remember that that was so long ago good thing I never got on this ride back then but and honestly still havent been on lol everytime I go its closed lol
Maybe I should make a #D version of this so people can watch it with 3D glasses and on their 3D tvs. That way they feel like they are really riding it lol.

This was the tallest Shoot the Chute ride from 2000 until Pilgrims Plunge at Holiday World opened on 2008
How did you do thing from 1:39 to 1:57?
i went on the riptide,xcelerator,boomerang,silver bullet,sierra sidewinder,pony express,and jagar
Why did they take this ride down it was the best ride to get refreshed on a hot at knotts.
I see the Intamin "sign of quality" on the ride vehicle!

Perilous Plunge!
When I rode this when I was in middle school, the boat got stuck at the end and we all couldn’t get out lol. Wish someone could find a video of that as it was hilarious
For any1 whose been here and to thorpe park. what drop is bigger this one or tidal wave???????
I just went to Knott's today and rode this. It was pretty fun. When we went down it felt like it was longer than a mile. We were very soaked. ( Me,Friend,Cousin,Sister )
miss this ride
Hey deathbyillusion what is your favorite theme park of all time?
Last time I went there is only one cart and it takes about15 minutes for the next turn plus it leaks a lot so you get wet before the. Ride
@deathbyillusion How do u get on the Front Seat On All RideS?
Is that where Hang Time is now?
No hang time is next to it
When we were in line ,there were these two kids that talked to us and we were next,everybody took the rows,except the front,I was like oh crap!So we sat at the front and had fun.
@casinobowling yea so I have heard & seen but I want to go.
I went on this yesterday.....NEVER AGAIN. So freaking scary, i felt like i was gonna fall out on the drop.
@suspensionfilms Boomerang I have a hd pov of it!
This was an awesome ride sad to see it go
this ride rocks
Yes, this was removed on September 3, 2012
True! You might smell though if you did after you got wet on the ride. If you did it before the water would probably rinse it off.
Not sure what holds you on this ride but on Monzumas , all it is a strap and a lap-bar :D Its preety cool (:
Oh gosh, it went faster when I went on it last Friday I was thinking 'This ride doesn't go so fast...' and when it went down I instantly flew up in my seat O.O But highly recommend it and it is really fun! And you get drenched! :D
Does anyone know why they took out that ride??
lmfao 0:02 "I guess i can pee my pants right now and nobody will know"
great video ❗
wat its still there
This one is kinda like the one in SeaWorld San Antonio too.
@14airline i feel the same way. ive only been on it one time years ago and i got the worst vibes when i was on it.
It's closing September 3rd.
Ahhhhh that gopro sound quality
oh bummer it looks fun
this wasnt there when i went
how tall?
When I went in 2006 or 2007 a little girl had a heat stroke while waiting in line and the ride was closed for an hour. :(
They took this ride Out. I go there all the time, It's a new roller coaster there now.
looks fun
jurassic park is about 85 degrees. and this one is 75 right? i guess jurassic park is 10 feet taller
@casinobowling oh thats too bad.
I went on this when I was I think 7 maybe 8 I loved it so much so sad it's gone :(
I'm gonna be honest the drop looks like the excelerator drop
0:54 I really missed the perilous plunge and Rip tide.
I missed that ride
what the lsat time I was there was before the ride came there, aww man I wanted to ride
i never ever been on that ride like ever in my life
Lmao!! xD "I guess if I peed my pants, nobody would ever know!"
"I guess I could pee my pants now and nobody would know-"✨
the spot on the camera looks like a full moon.
