Cool idea, too bad your video sucks.

Cheesehead_Dave		2012-09-04 10:47:17 AM

/they have one of these at Great America with a straight down drop. All I remember from it is getting blasted in the face from the water that was feeding the slide, then I was already at the bottom. My seven-year-old failed to cross his feet properly and learned firsthand why it was called the "Mega-Wedgie".

I think the Wisconsin Dells "looping" waterslide starts like this as well.

Too bad the nation itself is a repressive shiathole.

This is in Dubai. The trap door obviously leads to an "interrogation" room somewhere so you can be waterboarded by other riders pissy water-slide water.

lucksi		2012-09-04 11:12:34 AM

You have to be fully clothed to ride this?

Arxane		2012-09-04 11:14:36 AM

There's a slide like this at Six Flags, St. Louis.

prjindigo		2012-09-04 11:18:08 AM

Its a good idea. This will keep idiots from flailing their arms around or trying to be show-offs.
If you don't do what the guy with the lever says, you don't go down the slide.

goodmoto		2012-09-04 11:21:57 AM

They've had this at Wet N' Wild Orlando for over 10 years now. Much, much scarier when the slide isn't covered.

The splashdown at the end looks like it would put your nuts up around your tonsils.

Yes, I can confirm this.

I'm thinking he doesn't understand how birth works..

.. Or I don't. The narrative of that video confused me.

How about one that has a loop in it?

Yeah, I tried that slide ONCE.

gueedoguy		2012-09-04 12:35:10 PM

They have one of these at Water Country USA in Williamsburg as well

badger-badger		2012-09-04 12:36:43 PM

I climbed into one of these in the Dells this last summer. That was the day I decided to admit that I'm old.

Six Flags New England is installing one of these for 2013.

Two Dogs Farking		2012-09-04 01:01:52 PM

There's a water slide in Cologne that has this - but it loops the loop, too.

UncleStumpy		2012-09-04 01:20:51 PM

For the first 90 seconds I thought I'd clicked the wrong link.

I love water slides, but haven't had an opportunity to go on anything wild yet, sadly

ciderczar		2012-09-04 01:31:42 PM

I thought the trap door was going to be halfway down the slide before I clicked, but that's cool too, I guess.

MooseUpNorth		2012-09-04 01:33:58 PM

There's one on a cruise ship. Not as vertical, though.

that's what i was thinking as well. like sometimes the door opens and you fall into a different pool or something.

crab66		2012-09-04 02:52:43 PM

Not a new thing.

bugmn99		2012-09-04 03:41:39 PM

You could have a lot of fun with some blindfolded convicted criminals with one of these.

Too bad the nation itself is a repressive shiathole.

Some of the seven emirates are more strict than others: Sharjah and Ajman, for instance, strictly enforces Islamic law, while Dubai and Abu Dhabi - both with thriving, mainstream tourist industries - are more relaxed.

From your linked article.

Dubai is very westernized.

Anyone else think of Action Park?

crab66		2012-09-04 04:12:20 PM

I think about my brother getting hurt there.

...a lot of peoples brothers were hurt there.

Yes

I've never been that far east, however that slide's reputation has made it this far west.

Admittedly, the video is better when featuring a bikini.

Okoboji		2012-09-04 07:13:36 PM

That's it? Saw that on Travel Channel like a month ago... I was hoping for something more along the lines of you're heading down the slide and a trap door randomly opens to dump you onto a different slide.

Yeah I don't get it. At least have the upper part transparent. But on the mega tall open slides one of the thrills is the feeling that somehow you're going to fall off the slide to your death, especially in the first second or two.

"Westernized"? Well, when one compares to other Arab nations, sure. However, jail time for flipping the bird? No public displays of affection? Etc? I'd still count that as a barbaric shiathole. Damn it man, we have a RIGHT to be rude bastards! Anything else is uncivilized.

liam76		2012-09-04 08:27:16 PM

Thanks for all the links to places that aren't oppressive shiatholes that have the waterslide trapdoor.

I guess the funny part to me is as a quiet person who doesn't like eating in front of strangers, I'd probably fit in quite well in Dubai. Too bad I don't know jack about business to make any money there.

ultraholland		2012-09-04 10:03:14 PM

Lame:

1) The slide is enclosed.

2) There appears to be a countdown to the drop.

3) A trap door it a surprise, hence the "trap" part; I was under the (unbelievably retarded/cool) impression that somewhere along the ride was a trap that would just open up and send you flying into a pool without warning.

Yes, westernized. The rich don't have to worry about any of those laws you mention.

BenJammin		2012-09-04 11:05:33 PM

Meh. I expected the trap door half way down the slide.

You reminded me where I experienced this, myself . . . and it's over 20 years old, for the record . . .

Marshall Willenholly		2012-09-04 11:20:08 PM

Awesome video. It's 2:46 long, and we see the trap door for all of about 0.5 seconds. Thanks!

GungFu		2012-09-05 12:30:26 AM

the video with the loop...

It's like ejaculate but with humans.

Was kinda disappoint, thought there was going to be a surprise trap door mid slide that drops you in a pool or something...

LumberJack		2012-09-05 10:50:45 AM

Until I actually WTFV, I was envisioning a surprise trap door at some point during the slide's length. Arguably more fun.

I also thought how much better it could be if their trap door opened randomly 1-10 seconds after you were "mounted" in the start capsule. "3, 2, 1, GO" is no fun.

Instead of a countdown the voice should relay safety instructions. At the end say, "...and the most important thing you must do to avoid severe blunt force trauma or loss of limb is..." DROP!
