Oh man I forgot about the jet boat rides thru that canyon!
I wonder what its like to hit a sheep at 80 MPH while lying prone on a
sliver of metal??
It was a blast here and ours was 1 third the size of the origianl over
there.
The only thing I dont like about NZ is the fact that you guys got rid of
those lovely incredible super SKYHAWKS! WHAT WERE YA THINKIN????
