Riding a Dry Water Ride at IAAPA 2010 in Orlando

This "dry" waterslide is meant to give IAAPA amusement industry attendees a little taste of a new water slide that actually has a real loop. It drops you like you wuld drop on the real ride, although you just slide down into a chute for demo purposes. It's fun to suddenly have the floor drop out from under you.

@MrKilaklown that thing only looks like 20-25 feet up at most. At a water park with the full ride/water etc it would be at least 60 feet up, which is pretty high if your scared of heights. Not to mention your going trough a loop and you drop though a hole rather suddenly.

@MrKilaklown Yep, in reality it's a true water ride (Aqua Loop), but for the show it was dry for logistical reasons and you just did the drop part. I can only imagine how cool it is with the water going and zooming into a loop.
