Whitewater West has provided one of the star attractions of Disney Dream, the latest cruise ship from the entertainment company.
This is no mean feat considering that this latest cruise ship is twice the size of the previous two, and boasts the world's most expensive restaurant at sea, beaches and a nightclub quarter, not to mention the chance to hang out with Tinkerbell!
The AquaDuck coaster, themed on Donald Duck, is based on the concept of Whitewater's award winning MasterBlaster and is the first watercoaster aboard a cruise ship.
It combines elements of a rollercoaster and a waterslide, loops 46m (150ft) above the water and 4m (13ft) off the side of the deck, giving great views of the ocean below, for those brave enough to look down through the translucent tube.
Towards the end there is a straight rapids section, giving breathtaking views over the ocean, before guests are deposited in a splash pool.
