seriously, I AM researching thrill...
I'm terribly sorry, but I do not know the meaning of the word "thrill".
Is this the sound mud ducks make when copulating? BW wrote: Maybe my last THRILL posting appeared a bit like SPAM. Just to allay any questions - I'm a researcher at the Royal College of Art, England. I've got an arts grant to research this subject of thrill, and develop ideas for how thrill could be engineered. Who wants to visit my web site anyway! Here's the interview as you'd have found it. I invite anyone connected with canoeing or kayaking to be interviewed about your most thrilling encounters.

seriously, I AM researching thrill...
I try to avoid ducks when kayaking. Particularly in their more intimate
moments. Being even more circumspect about geese. But seriously, now. The jerk, sorry, correspondent from the RC of A, has a grant that the grantor hopes will produce new amusement park rides. I would suggest strapping the customer into a one-person device that will be rapidly hoisted 20 feet in the air and suddenly dropped free fall into a pool of water and dragged down 10 feet below the surface of the pool and then rolled end for end 5 or 6 times underwater. The ride device can then be run through the process twice more before releasing the rider into a calm pool one foot deep to crawl ashore. That should simulate nicely running a series of 20 foot waterfalls blind and experiencing the runout. More blase customers can choose to experience boulder pinning underwater in a violent current. Or perhaps might enjoy the experience of being capsized in very turbulent currents and held there for 30 seconds or even more. Maybe a button could be provided for instant righting at any time. Then the tough guys could see who could enjoy the process the longest. Legal disclaimers are advised for the management. And attentive operators.
