Oh, what I would pay to see a morbidly obese person try this and get stuck at the top of the loop!

That incoming pool isn't yellow by accident...

What happens if you don't make the loop and slide back to the first low point? Wouldn't the blockage cause water to pool? Do they have an emergency exit?

*fear, indeed. There's not enough money in the world to get me to go on that thing.

Adding video to channels (Fear) - requested by Sarzy.

Upvote for Europeans and their inexplicable addiction to Speedos.

Oh this video has so many things going for it:
* Insane waterslide I'd LOVE to go on
* Cute female in bikini
* The german language... which to my ear that understands nothing other than the counting heard 'testies' and 'shaft' at points during that... but I think that speaks more to my mindset than what was actually being said

Surely the can find a way to make it remove binkis on the way down...(And replace speedos with trunks)

I heard shaft twice, but I missed the testes. Sounded like "der shaft"... is that the name of the slide?

They've got this one at the "Wet 'n Wild" in Vegas, only without the loop. It's called "Der Bombay". The only thing it's got going over this one is that the guys that run the one in vegas lie to you in terms of the count prior to dropping you thru the hatch. They completely ignored the pleas of my wife to give a countdown and the guy pretended like he couldn't hear her right before pressing the button.

It was great.

Damn that is awesome! Except:

1. Unimaginable wedgie upon exit
2. Fatties get stuck and die?

Epic.

I wanna go.

more likely a light weight person wouldn't make it passed the loop. Especially a low density fat person. Like the stay-puft marshmallow man's baby after he's been microwaved.

That thing looks like fun =)

"Test" = "test"
..though you need some metaphorical balls to do this.

They use a really big plunger.

See what you lost by defeating the Germans? These things woulda been EVERYWHERE if they'd won the war!

I don't understand German, so I'm not sure exactly what they're saying in this, but I assume it has something to do with the dangerous amount of chlorine in the water to help balance out the pee that every single rider leaves behind."

lol, no. They dont talk about chlorine at all. They are testing it for the first time. The narrator talks about how much it costs (500.000 Euro) and if the TÜV accepts the construction. The men and the girl just talk about how awesome it is. The girl seems to be a little bit hysterical, though.

LMAO! Yeah, first thing that came to my mind was "OMFG, a giant toilet, complete with vapour trap!"


That final frame of the video is kinda disturbing in a distorted, fisheye'd "Boob Cam" way.

This is Germany.
Can you even imagine the amount of safety calculation that went into this? You'll be fine.

However, I used to work in a waterpark in England, and they saved money when building it by reducing the size of EVERYTHING, including the water slides, resulting in an escape velocity high enough to shatter the glass of the barrier at the end of the tunnel with your bare legs, and by the way we just tested the water and it says "burns your eyes out" but we aren't going to empty the pool because that would cost money.

love how the announcer says, "Der schaaaaft!"..when the woman comes spilling out.....

Fatties get stuck and die?

Nah, the pressure would take care of it :-)

So this is the most balls out compared to the many other looping german water slides you've seen?

That video reminds me very much of videos I have seen of turds' transit through the lower intestine...

He sais "Der Looping ist geschafft" which translates into "He made the looping"
I guess they were worried before wether they would actually make it all the way around...

Also this is not in Germany, but Slovenia. Just the people testing it are german. Here is the link to the waterpark: http://www.terme3000.si/home.php?ln=eng

*why?

this was not filmed in Germany but in Terme3000, a spa complex in Moravske Toplice, Slovenia. the looping water slide at Terme3000 opened up in june 2008. it was designed by an austrian company Aquarena, and built by slovenian Veplas. you can see the full video here
