    wow, such a great adventure. I remember going up in the gondola but I don't remember anything else up there, but then we were there in the off season. I think we went to some farm place as well

      Awesome. I used to go 30 years ago and there was just 1 or 2 luge tracks. So much more up there now. 😀😀

    We had these OGO balls at the ski resort I worked at in Pennsylvania when I retired in 2008. We had a few of the water balls and a couple of the balls where one person was strapped into a seat in the ball and you went down the hill end over end. We called that one the "vomit express". The water balls were the most popular as you could put several people in the ball at one time. The water used in the balls came from one of the wells, it was 57 degrees Fahrenheit, okay in the summer, not so refreshing in late autumn. We were one of the only facilities in the USA to have this feature. The company that developed the technology and manufactured the balls was located in your homeland, New Zealand. Very interesting to see them in your video, I hope you enjoyed the ride.

      Awesome! I can 100% see why it would be called the vomit express if you were strapped in!! They had some hot tubs you could sit in after the ride. It was awesome fun. Thanks for watching.

      @@mikeandjoelle. Although the material used to construct the balls was quite heavy gauge they would occasionally get punctured. A specialist had to be called in to make the repair as our staff was not authorized to work on them. We always ran two or three balls in rotation depending on how busy we were with "victims". The "catchers" at the bottom of the hill had a tough job since they had to stop the ball, get the people out, empty out the water, and then push it onto the waiting trailer to be taken back up the hill for another run.
