Who still wants to ride it? Apparently the opening has been delayed after test riders were catching some air.

Just to say I did it. We had a pretty good water slide at a shitty amusement park back in OR called enchanted forest. Probably one if those small town urban legends but supposedly some kid covered himself in dish soap before going down to get more speed and went over the side on one of the turns. Broke every bone in his body.

@flintrriverfowler can back me up on this one but in High Falls, GA there is a shitty water park and back when they made the slides out of fiber glass and not HDPE like now a kid went down on his stomach feet first and had some of this toe nails ripped off! Gives me the heebbee geebees every time I think about it.

The ride in op is gonna be crappy because 8 out of ten riders will shit themselves. :)

17-Story drop sounds cool. The potential sudden stop...uncool.

My aunt who's only a few years older than me used to go there all the time when she was a kid, and she would always have cuts all over her from the fiberglass and the rusty screws sticking out of the slide.
The water at the bottom was always green and people caught skin fungus from that shit.

Sounds like good quality fun. The swimming pool where I grew up had a fiberglass slide, it would tear you up. Good thing it wasn't very big, could only imagine a big steep one.

From what I read, the problem was that not everyone had enough speed to maintain centrifugal force all the way around, so they'd fall straight down from the top of the loop. If you're going down feet first on your butt, this means your face has a good chance of smacking the inside of the loop as you fall.

Also maybe some shoes. I've done enough cliff jumping as a kid to know water hurts like a mother fucker when you're moving at a pretty good clip.

I did a 60ft cliff jump one time. Best thing I did was keep my boots on.
