So glad I got to ride this before they closed it down.

[@rcb3000]

That's freakin steep

[@karimadrigal3062]

idk how did this ride even exist

[@mikaylamesko]

i loved this ride so much! i rode it when i think i was 7 (only time i rode it cause it closed after that) and i loved it! it feels like your gonna fall out on the drop! i wish they brought it back!

[@cesarnavarrete6961]

I'm gonna miss this ride it closing forever on sept. 7, 2012

[@isaacmadrigaljr3333]

Coast rider alot of people hate that ride no cap

[@webguy943]

This is the best footage i ever seen of this ride

[@lisaclark8022]

Perilous Plunge looks so fun to ride but when you. are going down the steep hill Oh my God! Feel like you are about to fall off!😄

[@zMANONAMISSION]

Nice vid, Cheers!!

[@georgetoscano1591]

I'm the one who commissioned that Variable speed Drive system for this ride way back in the day yet, I never got a chance to ride it! :(

[@Blorkus]

Nice use of the Roller Coaster Tycoon background noise. Forgive me if it's originally from something else.

[@DantheSandman94]

One hell of a ride! I mean you don't see a lot of water rides with shoulder restraints!!!!

[@mandafitpanda]

Ugh I am do upset because loving rides for ever since it closed and I never got to go on it !! And finally I remember the ride and it is effing closed !!:(

[@holajosh666]

some lady died on this ride awhile back! I was there they shut down the WHOLE park, i was pisssed

[@POOH875]

@megacoasterfan i few years ago a lady fell out and died this ride was closed for a while

[@YurBoiCarson]

God I’m miss this ride

[@isaacrobledo7985]

This looks like a intense ride

[@abbabeththehamster4320]

It's gone now.

[@rockandroll678if]

i feel you

[@rextony22]

its a fun ride. steep too

[@lunadabaybrandon]

RIP perilous plunge

[@sideeswipe]

I'm not gonna lie this looks awesome but it doesn't match Knott's new themed boardwalk about surfing in California because this is more like a harbor with the crates and fish

[@POOH875]

@TheBassChase it was just that one long lap bar

[@mts50mts]

Its already closed. The date was yesterday, 9/3/12.

[@funnyguys445]

sucks how they closed this ride :(

[@XxjceeT6xX]

This ride was scary.

[@kopicxi13]

how tall was the drop?

[@vvvnokk8309]

115 ft. 50 mph

[@diegoaleman5152]

Preddy slow

[@skinnybones1110]

They took down that ride one month ago

[@djavatar68]

I rode it when they added all those ridiculous restraints. Had the boat all to myself.

[@troysaunders2530]

What restraints did they add?

[@djavatar68]

@@troysaunders2530 towards the end they used a seatbelt that went across your chest. They got rid of the over the shoulder restraints.

[@acidalex420]

Why did they get rid of this

[@BFreeMedia13]

It was a very painfully slow line and maintence was high. It was down a lot. It now has 3 family rides in its place including a mouse coaster. Makes sense. The lady dying on the ride did no have anything to do with the closure.

[@acidalex420]

Okay thanks really sad but their is still one in wales UK Oakwood love that one

[@nickolasrios7435]

Rip

[@6pmdude]

Too bad they removed it :(

[@itsuhh_luskywalkerr9975]

I’m looking at the comments saying they miss this ride and it was the best, I rode it as a kid but looking at this now that shit is dangerous af. Someone died on this ride, that steepness is like close to a 90 degree angle. Kids rode this, my classmates did, that ride should’ve never been made. Or even approved, the ride is gone for a reason and it’s for all those possibilities of another death happening.

[@VIRIDIIIANARIVERA777]

Omg i swear people if you are going to ride itomg be ware on theway down it feels u going to flip

[@iloveowls90]

@pinkponyrider1 thats not nice.

[@CelestialDarkness45]

O_o

[@fabio290199]

@pinkponyrider1 You're bad

[@hordetrooper]

no splash? boring.. lol this was lame.. that tall n fast n no money shot.. hahaha

[@jarhead4797]

hordetrooper Grammar.

[@crystalcavernartwork722]

Jarhead 13 I second that.

[@mrxxbrian]

Too much maintenance and cost and considering it being a small capacity ride, i can see why they're deciding to build something else.

[@viviagothecoasterboy9978]

They had a good reason to close this. Stop complaining. A kid died on it. And it wasn't his fault like most deaths, it was the rides fault.

[@crystalcavernartwork722]

Actually, it was a 40-year-old women who fell to her death, back in 2001, which was long before they ever closed this ride.
