They said it couldn't be done. They said it probably shouldn't be done. But, they did it anyway. That's right, a full-loop vertical waterslide is currently beginning test runs. Mountain Creek Waterpark AKA Action Park, in New Jersey, home of the world's first looping waterslide, the Cannonball Loop, is unveiling the much-safer cousin to its 1980s dangerous counterpart. It's called the Sky Turtle. And it's absolute insanity.
If the testing phase goes well, the waterslide will be officially unveiled in summer of 2016. According to the L.A. Times "Over 100 test runs have been conducted at the 90-foot-tall prototype slide built in Carthage, Missouri."
