A YouTube user has recently posted a video of Tidal Wave taken in 1980 or 1981, and it includes a POV!

He's also got a short video of more vintage Marriott-era footage.

Cool video thanks for posting that! The ending didn't lookm comfortable though. It just suddenly stopped and went forward again.

WOW!
This is great!

Does anyone have the original commercial?

"I survived the Tidal Wave" or something like that?

i know that it moved to SFKK but does it still use the pully and weight system there or is it outfitted with something else?

It still uses the pulley/weight system from what I could see.
