Hara Kiri is a standard waterslide model in themeparks. This one has been opened in 2001 as the first water ride of the park and is built by Van Egdom. They build also water slides for pools and other waterslides. Hara Kiri is also the standard name for this model. The racing one. Hara Kiri in Toverland is a blue one with 2 slides, the first part is an enclosed piece of track, then going steep down with 2 bumps. The ride is not themed, but the waiting line is since the 2012 season themed with houses. The other slide, Aqua snake, goes actually trough these houses.
Hara Kiri is the most used waterslide in themeparks (sometimes 4 tracks on a line) but is still extremely popular. The ride is short and fast, fun to do when you've got some extra time or when the waiting line is short. However there is a maximum of 2 persons per boat. With 2 slides there is a maximum of 4 people per ride. The waiting line can become very long for a short slide. But the waiting line splits up on the top. When Aqua snake is shorter you can decide to ride that one too. When the line is the same, Hara Kiri would be faster because of double track.
