a gift commission from [at_iconname]RelaxingDragon1[/at_iconname] to [at_iconname_userid]85249[/at_iconname_userid] featuring a stylishly-hatted individual also named Quentin Coyote at a somewhat less stylish location, pondering whether a round trip is in order.

Probably there's a emergency hatch down there for those who don't make the loop for some reason.

indeed on the real slide there was, although I do not remember if that was present from the beginning or if it was added after the park had already become operational.

"Action Park" ..?

Last I heard of- Oh, someone's gonna lose his head. :(

This would be a great pic for some school physics quiz. "Look at the picture and tell the coyote whether he should rather make a round trip".

(In reality the tube would've been filled with water up to the top of the loopty loop. Worst case scenario - you black out from sudden impact and then drown, best case scenario - you reach the water surface and then hope that someone will cut the tube to let you out before you slowly suffocate due to lack of fresh air)

In reality the slide did exist and supposedly passed a few participants successfully and safely before being closed down permanently only a few weeks after opening, though I do not know precisely how it worked.  There was one or more escape hatchways for people who went down the slide but lacked sufficient propulsion or space to get all the way around the loop.

Oh, such loops absolutely do exist, I just didn’t articulate my thoughts correctly.

What I meant is that in proper waterparks the inner side of the tube is littered with oriented nozzles, which both inject water at high velocity in the forward direction, and suck this water back away after a couple meters (after it loses velocity from friction). As a result, the whole tube is filled with air and only has a tiny layer of quickly moving water – exactly what you need for an uninterrupted slide.

But the picture looks like a couple of aspiring entrepreneurs got their hands on some PVC garbage chute, managed to install it on some viewing platform (maybe a firewatch?), and decided that a garden hose will be enough.

The whole concept of a DIY waterpark instantly reminded me of this episode of Brainiacs and gave me good several minutes of laugh, even if not in the way you (or the commissioner) intended. So, thank you for that.

Anywho, sorry for being a pestersome dork. I guess that’s professional deformation.

Oh really, I was just pondering whether it is possible to do IRL.

Action Park was definitely not a proper water park.  I couldn't find photographs of the entry point of the factual water slide and initially sketched it more like better-made examples I had seen but eventually determined the whole thing was cheap tubing like this.
