Didn’t they have one in the same spot as lafitte’s plunge that someone died on in the 90s?
The yellow board one was my favorite with the enclosed one a close second

Yea the Banzai slides were side by side with two humps. Everyone got air on that second hump. It was dangerous as frick. They ended up enclosing the slide over that hump to keep anyone from flying out. I was working the bottom of the Banzai slide Summer of 1991 when a little kid turned over on his stomach before the second hump. He came down crying and grabbing his mouth and I realized his bottom teeth were sticking through his lip. YIKES!
But nobody died on the plunge. Nobody died at Blue Bayou as far as I can recall from 1990-now.
The only death there was Dixie Landin' in 2010 when that big chick fell off the Extreme coaster after pretending her bar thingy was locked down and secure when it wasn't.

It was called the Rampage in the 90s. Flying Pirogues now. Still very fun ride, especially now that you don't have to carry the damned board up the stairs with you.
