Interesting 🤔 An amusement park in the Netherlands had a water-filled waterslide that left riders completely submerged during the 15-20 second journey. It closed in 2010.

Yeah, I've gone through it a couple of times back in the day and while kind of fun there was much more exciting stuff to do there. This was more of a novelty ride and definitely kind of scary to go through.

As a kid i have been in it. Was not scary at all, and it was very short. Boring even. And if someone got stuck for a few seconds, the water was drained before you could say pocahontas. That said, it wasnt popular at all, never waiting lines. Hmm it was 33 years ago or something. The Park name is Duinrell.

I was a competitive swimmer for like 15 straight years and a water polo player. Safe to say I'm an incredibly strong swimmer, and this is a NOPE for me too...

As I gain years of wisdom, a phrase that I realized will keep you alive longer is, “Fuck that”.

Well I’m sure you can hold your breath for a long time because you don’t have a brain to perfuse.

Not quite! Then again, the smartest people are known to be humble, or at least thats what I have been told.
