China Opens 1.3km Glass Bottomed Water Slide

[GutterflowerBeware of the freeze-dried donkey!]

OK its not a roller coaster or a theme park but In the Taihang Mountains China has opened something quite unique.

This is essentially a glass bottomed water slide through the gorgeous mountain scenery. Stretching almost 1.3km down the mountain side with over a 100m in total height difference it certainly looks like great fun.

Now why is it glass bottomed? no idea.... Because China?

There's also a very short video of one of the rafts as it nears the bottom of the run. None one of the more scenic sections admittedly but I imagine one of the few easy places to get a photo.

Completely unbanked? That looks so strange. I assume perhaps glass is harder to shape into big sweeping turns. At least from that video it doesn't look to move very fast, or that could get pretty uncomfortable in those turns.

That's amazing.

That looks very cool. Literally.

This looks like the water slide version of an alpine coaster. It's in China, so it's probably super sketchy...but I'd probably ride it anyway.

I think I would draw the line at this ride.

Did Golden Horse enter the water slide industry?

If I wasn't worried about the manufacturer, the ride looks really cool.

Like this?

But yeah, this ride (slide? I think it's more a of glass flume, no?) looks totally sketchy in the most beautiful way possible.
