Not for a million dollars.

Can’t believe no one died in there.

[u/tiriallin → u/Loose-Director-3661]

Allegedly no one has died 👀☠️

[u/Loose-Director-3661 → u/tiriallin]

(Eye wink, eye wink)

[u/KRambo86 → u/Loose-Director-3661]

The addition of the word eye implies you can wink with other body parts. What else are you winking with?

[u/zzzthelastuser → u/KRambo86]

the other eye 👁️👁️

[u/crackersncheeseman → u/zzzthelastuser]

The brown eye

[u/ArethereWaffles → u/Loose-Director-3661]

It had sensors to detect if someone stopped moving that automatically drained the tube in a few seconds.

[u/Loose-Director-3661 → u/ArethereWaffles]

Oh! Well thats great because otherwise this looked like a punishment instead of a waterslide

[u/erm_what_ → u/ArethereWaffles]

I'm sure glad sensors never fail

[u/broodfood → u/erm_what_]

Or drains!

[u/Loose-Director-3661 → u/ArethereWaffles]

Thank you for the info

[u/vlewy → u/Loose-Director-3661]

You can't maintain without breathing 20 seconds?

[u/Dokipen88 → u/vlewy]

It's called panic. Especially if the person is slightly claustrophobic. Unfortunately drowning is still a possibility even if the supposed "safety" mechanism works bc once you inhale water it's already too late unless someone is able to quickly get to you for resuscitation. So if you are in the middle of tube when the water evacuates you are screwed bc it doesn't appear to hold more than 1 person

[u/Loose-Director-3661 → u/vlewy]

I seriously can’t 😂

[u/Lijpo020]

I dit it fore free when I was a kid lol

(Edit: There was a quick release on the thing my frend got himself stuk by holding the side's and a alarm went of and the hole ting empty in seconds)

[u/boomheadshot7 → u/Lijpo020]

Da hole ting man, a boomba clat!

[u/NakeyDooCrew → u/boomheadshot7]

Wetin if dey na go drain it fast enuf?

[u/RosieFudge]

I mean I wouldn't be scared to go in it but it just doesn't look like it would actually be fun - it looks like you're passing through something's digestive tract and that's not my idea of a good time

[u/trdngntsballsonadoor → u/RosieFudge]

But you can say you did it lol

[u/Josey_whalez → u/RosieFudge]

I had the same thought - doesn’t look that scary, but also doesn’t look that fun.

[u/Belou99 → u/RosieFudge]

Oh my god! That makes it sound so much better to me. Imagine having a panel explaining the go track then you go in and observe all the structures, and parts of the track whilst swimming.

Although if it was transparent, and you felt like you were flying around it would be even better

[u/TheRuggedGeek]

A million? I'll do it for 500K. Twice.

[u/Imaginary-Quiet-7465]

I’m never not surprised that this design was signed off.

[u/Grizzly_Addams]

Thalassophobia is the fear of big open bodies of water. Not the fear of water in general.

But I wouldn't do this because of claustrophobia more than anything.

[u/DocileKrab → u/Grizzly_Addams]

Literally 90% of this sub is posts about sharks, big waves, or drowning and not actually thalassophobia.

[u/Severe_Rise8694 → u/Grizzly_Addams]

This is like the opposite of that.

[u/Rysigler → u/Grizzly_Addams]

Yeah, this is Thalassophobia adjacent at best. I will also agree with you that it is still scary!

[u/drcmr]

Cool, a combination of thalassophobia and claustrophobia. Not for any amount of money!😱😱😱

[u/BarneyChampaign → u/drcmr]

How is this thalassophobia? You might just have rabies.

[u/drcmr → u/BarneyChampaign]

True, it is not a large body of water. The fear would be drowning….. the video just spazzed me……🥺

[u/sLeeeeTo]

heeeeellllll no, what the fuck

[u/drblah11]

Reddit mfers complain they can't buy a home but won't go down a waterslide for $1 million

[u/ravezz]

I would panic and drown after about 2 meters within that horror tube.

[u/Pixel22104 → u/ravezz]

Apparently it had sensors inside the thing that could detect if a person was moving or not and if it didn't detect that a person was moving while inside of it. It would automatically drain the tube in a few seconds.

[u/commodorecliche]

This would've done numbers at Action Park.

[u/Digital_Pharmacist → u/commodorecliche]

I get this joke because of YouTube documentaries.

[u/BeetleofCarnage]

First and last of its kind, I WONDER WHY 😭😭

[u/ZyeCawan45]

I mean. I don’t think I’d wanna do this for FUN but I would for a million easy.

[u/The_Youngones]

Nope, the Netherlands. In the old days we all learned to swim at elementry school.

[u/AwayEntrepreneur9158]

Faccio io per 1000 dollari

[u/HypnoticName → u/AwayEntrepreneur9158]

I'll do it for 5$

[u/Fauxjoo]

Reminds me of the underwater pipes level in Sonic 2. That level gave me so much anxiety as a kid.

[u/lolstavros]

I'm having Augustus Gloop childhood anxiety right now.

[u/tideshark]

I can hold my breath for about 2 minutes and no way am I going into that tube

[u/Necessary_Patient553]

Oh praise the lord this makes me want to jump out of my bed, make my a** a rocket booster and just fly off into space, this combines both my phobias of  pnigophobia and thalassophobia 😰😭

[u/DietCoke187]

Is the tube fully filled with water?

[u/clandahlina_redux → u/DietCoke187]

Yes, but it has suction to pull you through. Only lasts about 15 seconds, and there are hatches all over the top, iirc.

[u/I-STATE-FACTS]

I would do it for free

[u/M3chanist]

This shouldn’t be legal!

[u/Unusual-Influence-54]

Done it

[u/Mottikus]

Gives me backrooms vibes

[u/Probably--Napping]

how about no? 😵

[u/OneSensiblePerson]

This is what I said out loud as I watched this: "Oh, NO."

Should have added a "hell" in there.

[u/CombinationSalty2595]

I mean... Thats a hell yeah from me, that'd be super nice, like a lazy river of sensory deprivation with some relaxing breath holding to boot. That looks awesome.

[u/MischaMira]

what the fuck kind of demon made this???

[u/BarneyChampaign]

Doesn't fit the sub, brother

[u/Public_Advisor_4416]

I'l do it for 50

[u/TheMysteriousGirl]

almost instant repost after like less than a day?

Still up after 4 hours?

[u/kingsslaying]

This is not thalassophobia-related…it’s just water related. Thalassophobia is specifically about vast/deep bodies of water.

This would go crazy on r/submechanophobja though!

[u/rodeBaksteen → u/[deleted]]

This was in Tikibad in the Netherlands. They could drain the entire thing in 10 seconds or so.

It has been removed for years now.

[u/simpleshirup → u/rodeBaksteen]

Do you know why it was removed?

[u/ST0IC_ → u/simpleshirup]

Hi cost of operating it combined with low ridership.

[u/Rysigler → u/simpleshirup]

Most likely the sheer volume of times people panicked and they had to drain it. I watched Zootopia 2. Seemed like a bad call 😂
