Found this video on YouTube the other day.

 

 

IMO, if what the guy built in New Zealand/moved to NJ (essentially a giant slip'n'slide) counts for record purposes (was ranked world's longest waterslide), then I say the slide in the above video should claim some accolades as well.

 

So, you be the judge... Did these guys beat the Sky Caliber slide (the one with the weird capsule you ride in) to the "first vertical loop since action park" title?

Absolutely not, because this could never be cleared for public operation. The challenge in creating a successful looping waterslide is not in getting a body moving fast enough. It's in making something reliable and safe enough to open at an actual park.

Looks kinda fun when they get the speed up, but I'm seriously surprised the guy who stopped in the middle of it didn't get more hurt. This is that kind of activity where necks are broken.

Honestly not too surprised by this. You knew aomebody would do it. We all know that it is a simple matter of physics and fear to make a circular waterslide loop.

 

This video was on "Outrageous Acts of Science" for those of you who watch it.
