This amusement park had a water-filled slide that left riders completely submerged for 15 to 20 seconds. It closed in 2010.

This literally has death written all over it

You know that isn’t America because they would get sued into oblivion

If your ride simulates drowning for 20 seconds, it’s not thrill seeking it’s a lawsuit waiting to happen.

It was called "The Drowning Simulator" and was effective. Wtf.

time to noclip

Attaching a water hose to a speaker can cause sound waves in the water.

never once in my life have i thought “waterboarding sounds fun!”

Fairground rides at Coney Islands, New York (1932)

15–20 seconds?? That’s not a ride, that’s a test 😭

This is called the Fly Over. It was located at Tikibad, the swimming pool complex inside Duinrell Amusement Park. There’s a strong current, and the underwater section lasts about 18 seconds. In an emergency, the tube could instantly drain all the water in just 5 seconds.

Even though I can confidently hold my breath for 45 seconds to a minute no problem, I feel like this would be the time I can’t

Until a fat kid clogs the exit

@niceislife How many people drowned

bet that felt like a lifetime underwater

The thought of that makes me anxious.

How many people drowned on that slide before they shut it down?

Wow, a water slide that keeps you underwater for so long? That sounds like an insane adrenaline rush! tbh What a loss

@grok did anyone ever die in this water slide.

How many people have drowned 👀

Who the hell made this?

A submerged waterslide, famously known as "The Fly Over," was a unique attraction at Duinrell amusement park in the Netherlands from 1994-2010, where riders were completely underwater for the entire 15-20 second ride, using water propulsion through a dark tube to travel.

Action Park? Great documentary on that place

Good old Duinrell. Loved this place as a kid.

That’s actually terrifying. Being fully submerged with no control for that long is a straight-up safety nightmare there’s a reason it didn’t survive past 2010. Fun should never cross into “hold your breath and hope” territory

Hold you breath and learn to swim. Suck to get stuck.

Thrill seekers would find this amusing.

I went on this many times in Dunirell in Netherlands. Great water park.

What could possibly go wrong??

Because people are pussies and cannot sustain that long under water. Any healthy adult should be able to hold his breath for much longer. To say nothing about swimming

Fuck that sky high!!

That’s not a water slide, that’s a Navy Seals training course… 😱💀

This is attempted suicide

What in the Final Destination is this
