That's pretty stinking cool.

Holy crap, you're totally right. Drain the water and it can totally be used to keep your things that need to put the lotion in the basket or your human centipede, etc.

It ain't cool until there's piranhas in there. Hasn't anybody seen 'You Only Live Twice'*?

The only thing that ruins this for me is the astroturf.

Is that a fake grass?

I think it'd almost have to be fake grass, otherwise you'd wind up with bits of grass and earth finding their way into the pool. Plus you wouldn't be able to leave the pool open for extended periods or the grass would die. Fake grass will also be lighter and while it looks like it's a single platform here, you could theoretically build one that coils/stacks away to save space.

Piranhas were yesterday. Today it's "sharks with frickin' laser beams attached to their heads"

Pool technology is finally catching up with the modern world.

Reminds me of the playing pitch at the Parkstadium in Gelsenkirchen, Germany.

They can move the entire pitch out of the stadium underneath the southern stands.
