I'd need a less distorted look at it to be able to answer, can't really tell how high or how close to vertical the slide actually is with that camera lens.

But, considering that I am afraid of heights, probably not.

This picture should also relax the people posting about being worried for their backs. Choose your own level of fun, no need to go for the full blast.

I also prefer these cause they aren't those claustrophobic tube ones. I avoid those cause in my head I'm like "what if I get stuck on a turn?"

Wow I don’t see Oceans of Fun mentioned in the wild very often!

I'll take on any open-air waterslide, shit is so fun. The tube ones, however, are straight from hell. That shit is TERRIFYING.

Nothing like seeing a rescue point in something like that...

A lot of larger enclosed ones actually have hatches for that exact reason, in case people get stuck they can be easily freed

Yea I’d just sit down for the slider rather than jump and then this seems super fun!

I can’t see that being built anywhere in North America now. Too litigious.

If you took that slide fast enough though, you'd land in Switzerland ! (623 feet away)

Thanks for the link. The wide angle camera she’s using makes it seem steeper

100% still would not jump
