YES I do !! |#'
Chateau d If:
These dams, downstream from the Whirlpool, are the only place where I can imagine a wave of water coming from the boat's starboard (right) side. And from the sun angle, the boat has to be pointed more or less north for the splash shots. The dam on the US side could make the shot. It could be arranged that the dam realeased a lot of water for the show.
On exactly the day of the finish I was in West Virginia, on a raft, in rapids! Dang, I guess I picked the wrong river for my vacation. The rafting company said that they have special water release days on some of their rivers. When they do it becomes class V rapids.
Chateau d If:
This is one or more teams running to three parked SUVs at Lester Pearson (Toronto) Airport.
It looks like early morning from the low sun angle. But, it could also be end of the day sun.
Need to get an exact location at the airport to sort that out.
Pedaler, same thing goes for the time of the log rolling shots. But my gut feeling is that it was early morning.
NiagaraFalls:
You guys dont know the NIagara Rapids very well.
If they got CLOSE to that Whirpool, they'd be dead. Not even the jetboat would save you there.
Lastly...those rapids are bad enough that at any point between The start of Goat ISland at Niagara Falls State Park to the dock of that boat at Niagara River/Lake Ontario joining point would cause waves like that. Everytime I climb to the bottom of the gorge, and stand at the edge, the jetboat FLIES by...and everyone is just soaked...that water is bad.
Those "Dams" are just outakes. They push water that is diverted from the upper river through the power plant and out of those holes. There are hundreds of those "dams", and although they were diverting about 30-40 percent of the water of the Niagara River at the time...it isnt enough to cause "waves"
Chateau d If:
Then where could they hit waves off their front starboard while heading North to NW?
