there is a pic there, it's a prototype built in Switzerland, not open to the public it seems, some G-force issues, but once those are resolved the company that made that wants to start selling those. Seems like a really bad idea revisited to me

yeah, that prototype pulls around 6 G's if babelfish is any good, they want it down to the 4-5 range before building an actual one for a park (AquaMagis not from from Dusseldorf/Dortmund will build the first one it says)

How does the water get through the rest of the loop. because if it didnt then that would be a horrible slide burn.
And wouldn't it pool up and the bottom of the drop going into the first half of the loop
I have been waiting for something like this. haha. I can't believe it. Looks a bit odd, wonder how it'll work out. -prays for the ones that ride it to have a safe ride- hehe I'd be so scared to go on it unless I saw like 100 people come off it fine.
Maybe the second attempt at this will finally work.

I would assume, or at least hope the water drains at the bottom of that drop and maybe the loop is like a slip n slide material (I have no idea how it actually works), but if water doesn't make it though the loop or drain, that's going to be one hell of a splashpool in there

Man my butt is hurting just looking at the pic! On the loop there's either pumps to keep the water on it or a very strong water current. (Doubt that.) LOL!

That seems awfully steep, but if it works and it's regulated, i'd give it a shot (very nervously however).
Although, don't let this thing hit USA. We aren't responsible enough to ride something like this (given the amount of people who push people off slide innertubes and whatnot). Guarenteed lawsuit!

Yeah, at least in Germany in order to even be built the TUV has to approve it. TUV has total control over every aspect of life as it relates to safety in Germany. (probably why they are working to get the forces in order before trying to get one built)

That would be scarier then riding Demon Drop at Mt. Olympus or Summit Plummet at Disney World! Actually Demon Drop isn't as scary as it seems but I rode SP at Disney World when I was an inch to short to even ride it and they still let me go on it and I was only 6. Or something like that.
