There are no good ones.

They've all got cameras and motion sensors on them these days. Drain exploring is a dying activity.

Have you filled in the GD2016-300 application application form yet? That's not the BD2015-249 form. But the GD2016-300. If you submit the JAFFY-N008 form we can send you those application forms. Make sure they're submitted in tripplicate with the application fee of $62.

I've got to admit, Mini Maze is better than the rap it usually gets.

That's not saying too much considering the rap it get's is it's terrible haha. I mean if it wasn't so Mini it'd probably be decent. I can't even imagine how anyone even thought it was worth giving a name, it would've been like 100m long maximum before they put the extension on. If it didn't have that cool chamber with like 5 pipes feeding into it there'd be absolutely nothing to make it even worth seeing.

Yes, it is indeed a horrible little drain. Short, low, not all that interesting. Here's a virtual tour of it.

Kind of not a fun drain.

Those pics are old as. The drain doesn't outflow there anymore. Instead there's a large grill there and then it continues on down 3 parallel rectangular concrete pipes, eventually hitting a canal that leads on to whatever that large river is down that way.
Swear I had some pics of it... Couldn't find them, this is all I have. You can kinda see the grill and the 2 pipes to the left that are the old outflow. Pic is taken from outside the drain by a friend and that's me inside.

Ahh you spoil all the fun.

I'm sure millions of wannabe drainers were keeping a look out for that entrance.
The Amazon river. Oh yes, that would be the Amazon river.
Damn, I gave away the location. Woe is me.
