Thinking of taking a Disney cruise? Tampa Bay Online reports that Disney’s new Disney Dream cruise ship will come equipped with a 765-foot-long high-speed flume ride, sending passengers on inflatable rafts through a clear acrylic tube that will extend beyond the ship’s edge.

Sounds like a party to me. Let’s recap: a cruise ship in the middle of the ocean, people on rafts and tube slides that extend over the edge of the ship. Sign me up right now! The good news is, if you fall out of the raft, you’ll still land in water. Shark infested water, mind you, but water just the same.

Perhaps they should advertise it as “Disney’s Flume Ride of Death,” because as we all know, the most fun things in life end with the words “of death.”

The ship is currently under construction in Germany but will begin taking passengers in January of 2011.
