Cool design/engineering, but as a water slide, seems really boring with little fun/excitement factor.

That's my same reaction. Now if it spins ten times faster THAN we're talking...

I agree with both above, interesting idea, terrible design. The lazy river offers more fun and excitement. A water slide should never have pauses, and absolutely should not get so slow it goes backwards. To speed it up enough to be fun would probably make it unsafe. Should have left this one on the drawing room floor.

They've finally found a way to simulate your journey through the intestinal tract of a giant robot, now I can finally die.

You have to know there's Rule 34 of this somewhere on the internet.

I think it would be better in person. might be a whole different kind of excitement to be basically sitting still (or sliding backward) then suddenly jump forward when you have no visual cues of anything changing. maybe even disconcerting.

Would've been nice if the camera had been pointed ahead rather than behind, though I suspect there's not a ton of difference in the view...

What's the point? Small footprint, maybe? To me... fail.
