macruise Posted May 26, 2013 #1 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Although I have sailed the Epic several times, I never felt that I should try any of the slides in the waterpark. That was definitely not the case on the Breakaway. Be aware that you cannot wear any jewelry on the Free Fall. Take your jewelry off before climbing the 50+ stairs to the top. There is no place there to leave anything, not that you would do that anyway. I made two videos of me actually going on both the Blue Slide and The Whip I was nervous at first because I can't recall ever doing a waterslide in my life. But once I did it, I went back several times. Oddly enough, there were never any lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cubechick Posted May 26, 2013 #2 Share Posted May 26, 2013 The Aqua Park is serious. Kevin Sheehan stated that one of the slides could excel you to 35 mph! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newcruiser48 Posted May 26, 2013 #6 Share Posted May 26, 2013 I wasn't even considering them, but the blue one looks tame enough for a 56 yr old with osteoporosis. The red one seems claustrophobic. Thanks for posting them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinstripes4887 Posted May 26, 2013 #7 Share Posted May 26, 2013 I just got off of the Breakaway and I think the two whip slides and the freefall ones were great. As a side note the purple whip slide seems to be much faster than the yellow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SliceOfLife Posted May 26, 2013 #9 Share Posted May 26, 2013 when you say you cant wear jewelry, are you even talking about rings? What about stud type earrings? Everything must come off, no rings, earrings, necklaces, bracelets, nothing. Your bathing suits cannot have exposed zippers, rivets, buttons, or anything else along those lines.

I hope they are going to let me slide (no pun intended) but I can't take my rings off, they would have to cut them off of me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are loads of reviews on it. It's quite the adrenaline rush! I'm pretty sure the people on Celebrity could hear me screaming!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You won't be able to slide then. I saw people get turned away for wearing jewelry. You also have to have all jewelry off for the ropes course.

trmom2 Posted May 27, 2013 #17 Share Posted May 27, 2013 I wore all my jewelry (rings, earrings, watch) on the ropes course and was never told to take it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xenagurl Posted May 27, 2013 #18 Share Posted May 27, 2013 OP I'm glad that you had a good time on the slides. They are one of my favorite things to do on the Epic and now the Breakaway too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
