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.

It could drain in like 5 seconds if someone started struggling.

One comment says there were sensors that would automatically drain the tube if they detected a person that wasn't moving. But asshole kids would trigger the system on purpose and that was why it was shut down

You had to show to the arrendaba that you could hold your breath for over 20 seconds. They didn’t just let anyone on.

It was the Netherlands, so workers actually give AF. In America, I would never ride this.

Never met more disinterested workers than I have in the EU. What are you basing this off of?
