I wanted to personally say a Big Thank You for the best and most unusual videos. I love each and every one of them. I grew up at Action Park (then was) here in NJ back in the early 70's. It actually started as a Skate Board Park, Alpine Slide (no track), roller skating, horseback riding, and dune buggy ride place. Very out-doorsey but no real waterpark. When they started playing around with the mountainside and plastic they started creating some very odd slides. Aside from the Loop d' Loop, they had One Huge Piece of Rubbery Plastic simply pulled alongside the mountain pitch. They had previously dug out a few different rows in the soil to create grooves for each rider....easy up to difficult. I of course had to hit the difficult from the very start. The Loop d' Loop is one of the very few I have ever stayed away from....it just didn't feel safe at all and there was NO trap door when it first opened. No way at all. - Cheers and Keep up the Great work. Much Love - Kathryn
Yea, it's definitely one of those things that really only existed to serve as a cool feat of engineering. Like a fun science experiment. But for everyday use it was just kinda....dumb.
First of all, regarding the disclaimer, I’m always glad to see you treat serious topics with the respect they deserve. There are a lot of RUclipsrs who gladly would rather be controversial to drive clicks. You’ve also done something extremely dangerous by telling me about the Japanese love hotel slide. I’ll have to keep that in mind for when my fiancé and I go to Japan in a couple years 😂😂
I was looking for a comment that mentions the disclaimer and I completely agree, all other channels with waterslide accidents or bad designs include veruckt
Everyone talking about how dangerous Flyover looks and then there's me thinking what an ironic naming concept for something completely submerged underwater..
Fly-Over already sounds terrifying enough in concept, and that's without getting into the fact that the slide is made out of what appears to be semi-transparent blood-red plastic! Seriously, the video snippets you showed look like scenes from a horror movie, especially how relatively slowly the person gets dragged through the tube, only appearing as a dark silhouette pressed against the translucent wall. Just looking at it gives me the heebie-jeebies.
I don't think I have too many 'phobias', but "Flyover" had me going "NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE" and curling up the whole time you described it.
It’s terrifying but o actually have seen it I had a friend go on it and he made it through but I could not go on it especially about how you have to also manually crawl through it and imagine trying to recreate that now
I’m the Fly Over’s number one defender. It’s a terrible idea, but I can’t help but adore the science aspect of the slide. I wish I could’ve ridden it, just to see how “terrible” it really was!
@@runic_raptor I don't know about that. They did seem to have every precaution possible in place, including the swim test before even being allowed on it. I do think an age limit was probably a good idea as well - a panicked child is never a good thing - but I don't know about 14. My kids, even as young as 10 or 12, would have loved it!
The single video that exists of it makes it look like something out of the movie Saw. Just a shadow very slowly squirming through a red tube that’s completely submerged in water.
I think the Fly-Over’s concept should be revisited at some point. Just give people some scuba gear, make the slide bigger and put it into an aquarium to simulate scuba diving or something. There is a good idea there, it just wasn’t executed very well.
It costs to much money and water. The slide was also not popular. I’m from the Netherlands and live near this park and waterpark. People think the slide closed because of danger when it’s not the case. It was expenses and the slide not being used much. If you ever got stuck in that slide the water would be pomped out in seconds.
Ditto.😮 I hate going under water and I'm not that good a swimmer, nor can I hold my breath that long.😮 I'd sooner ride Summit Plummet, and I hate heights,😅😅
The video mentions a lot of precuations that were in place to prevent or help out quickly in case of an emergency... no miracle, proper risk management.
I had a friend that moved to my small town in Texas in the late 80’s from New Jersey. He would always talk about the slide with a vertical loop and I assumed he was making it all up until decades later when all these Action Park documentaries and podcasts started happening. I’m sorry that I never believed you, Pat!
I'm from here and it's absolutely wild to me that this local water park is internationally famous. I went there dozens of times, lmao. Everything you read about Action Park is true, I saw it all, it was the best park that ever existed.
@@SAVikingSAsomeone died there and they covered it up. There’s actually a documentary about this where the teenagers that got to have not rules against freedom remember it as great while others that got injured or had family members injured Remeber the founder as a crazy lunatic(which he was)
The minute you mentioned that Action Park was uninterested in that particular water slide my first thought was. “If Action Park thinks it’s too scary, that water slide is waaayyyy to crazy!” In its original hay day Action Park earned the nickname Accident Park. It changed hands and became more safety conscious but apparently those who weren’t horribly injured or killed were quite fond of it accidents and all.
I figure the Action Park looping slide from the 80s had become such a legend that they figured they could capitalize on it by building "that, but safe!" but then realized that it would actually be too unpleasant an experience for anyone to enjoy it.
I went to Action Park multiple times as a kid and it's one of the few things in life where no amount of internet hype can properly describe it. You just had to be there.
I'm glad you didn't put Verruckt on this list, and not just out of respect for a dead child. Verruckt wasn't so much just bad, it was a case of straight up malignant neglect. A bad slide might cause minor injuries or show you a bad time. Verruckt *killed* someone. It was in a league all its own, and not in a good way.
Yeah especially since there were so many setbacks and delays because of safety concerns and they were like, "well screw it anyway", it makes my stomach turn knots
I have 0 knowledge in waterslides but if i we're to design one there would be quite a few twists and turns and would be constantly be going down at a 10 degree angle at most so it would be simple and safe.
A lot of these rides just make me say "What were they thinking?!", Cannonball Loop looks like they asked a group of 8 year olds to design a water slide
The craziest part of that love hotel slide was that it lets out across the short side of the pool. Even if you hit the water, if you’re extended you can smash your feet and legs on the other side.
I'm from New Jersey, and I can definitely say that I'm fascinated with the history of Action Park. You should make a video of that place in the future because it definitely deserves a video on your channel TPC!
@@wintersprite low key someone should do a doc on the early days of the safari at Great Adventure. They had baboons tearing cars apart, rhinos charging them, it was insane. A baboon climbed inside our car and was running around like a maniac.

Ideas for most intense water slides video: Turbo Blitz at Kristall Palm Beach: Slide with a turn so intense that no one under 16 can ride Blizzard/Grüner Hai at Miramar Weinheim: Extreme G-force and a very intense landing Turbó at Adrenaline Aquapark Zalakaros: Starts slow but reaches insane speeds near the final turn
I just want to say that I appreciate how much research went into this video. I've always been a themed entertainment enthusiast, but I haven't heard of half of these attractions. Thanks for bringing such original and informative content back to this site.
Honestly the Fly over slide always reminds me of the chocolate tube from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory lol. I kinda wish I had the chance to ride it still though.
I am hungarian and I can confirm that the turbo slide Is One of the craziest slide ever, it's extremely fast and also very fun. Definetely recommend it!
There's technically a "looping" water slide at Germany's Aqualand Waterpark. It's not a vertical loop by any means, but it does send you upward. I've been on it a few times.
Yeah, this is how all modern looping sldies are built. Some even have two loops, like the one at Kristall Palm Beach or the now defunct one at Wave in Wörgl, Austria. And there even is a looping slide for inner tubes, the Double Loop at Ondaland, Italy.
Your commentary had me howling, Jesus they really did get yeeted!......"not fun" 😂 that lady on the Japan ride dannnngggg. You go straight into the wall.
I need to thank you for really getting me into being a coaster enthusiast. It has been pleasant 3 years so far and can’t wait for the many more to come. Thank you.
The flyover is one of the most scariest experiences I ever seen. I have somehow saw this one twice that I have re-created that planet coaster to use the the coaster trains to hit the guests and Went through the slide
Dutch person here. I have been on the Fly-Over myself and it was actually a lot of fun when it was still there. It was also super funny to see in action from a distance. Some context to keep in mind for everyone thinking this is a death trap; Back in the day (no longer the case nowadays), learning how to swim was non-negotiable. We had something called "school swimming" where you had to go out and get your swimming diplomas. Now, the important context there is that during one of your swimming diplomas, there was one test you had to do which would make you fail your diploma if you didn't achieve that feat. This feat being the following: In the deep pool, pretty far away from the starting block, a sail with a hole cut out of it would be lowered in to the water. You have to dive in, swim through the hole, and surface again all without coming back up for air. Learning how to behave and orient yourself under water is just as important as knowing how to propel yourself, so to much Dutch people this water slide was just a fun thing to do if you could hold your breath long enough 🤣
I would have failed tremendously because I'd just refuse the last test. Maybe it's because I don't go swimming and don't support school's forcing students to do it. (Very fucked up to make minors change around each other, period)
I used to ride the fly’n Mayan at the dells growing up. I thought it was an absolute blast but I remember it being closed a lot or having really long lines when it was open
The Fly Over looks like a literal, actual nightmare I have had. It is a shame that the queen suite waterslide is so bad because I thought it was adorable. I had seen a video about it, and I would have loved to ride it on the very slim chance that I could go. I would also like to know more about the thought process behind putting a private waterslide in a hotel room, which I have not seen before or since.
Know you mentioned not mentioning Verruckt at the start, but I used to live near where it was. Seeing it in person... Yeah, no amount of money could get me on that thing
WOW, the feeling you see a ride on the list you've actually been on! I'm talking about the waterpipe of Duinrell in my case. Yes, I remember walking in there, and seeing this. I can still remember the true feeling of "wth". But when seeing how long the pipe actually was, it was far less intimidating. I rode it, and honestly, it isn't something you'll remember. If you've your eyes closed, you'll just experience something close to an elevator ride. You'll just be transported. There is no thrill or even much of anxiety. You dive and about 10 seconds later, you come back up another small pool. I do remember how I fear the funnel slide next to it way more, because of the chance that somebody might fall onto you after you fall into the water. Also, I don't remember any line or instructors with the water pipe. It was just me. As for your number 2: it reminds me of Batman Forever, if you know what I mean.
You should totally do a themed water slides type video, there’s a water park in Denver Colorado (Waterworld) with two water slides that act as dark rides done by Sally corp. real cool! I feel like themed water slides really add to an experience
Leave it to (Class) Action Park. I've seen the Cannonball Loop before, but it'll never get old and will always top lists. I've used this very slide as the definitive example of what NOT to design. One look at it should tell anyone with a basic knowledge of physics to NOT ride it. They should have just called it "The Lawsuit." Physics? Where we're going, we don't need physics!
Excellent video! MINDBLOWING stuff! I can just imagine the pitch meeting for the underwater water "slide." "So know how being stuck underneath ice would be utterly terrifying? Let's turn that into a waterslide!" The Fly Over not having a tragedy happen feels like a miracle. Who in their right mind?!
Fly over is so disturbing and terrifying. Just imagining being sucked by it and having to hold your breath for almost 15 sec... Who did have this brilliant idea? 😂
I enjoy going on water slides, but the look of Fly Over would have me avoiding it at all costs. Also when I started the video, I knew that Action Park would have to make the list and you did not disappoint.
Trust me guys, the supersplash (n 7 ) is not bad and doesnt hurt at all. You almost hit the water like when you dive in the water and its extremely fun+ n.4 got a bit modified i think because i tried it multiple times and saw it multiple times and nothing never happened. I just defended these two attractions bcs they were the only two i actually tried
I love how this video gets progressively more scary. The water slides start becoming more and more unhinged. Fly-Over looks absolutely terrifying; it makes all rollercoasters look tame lol 😆 I wanna share a personal tip with you; possibly try more YT shorts content to push viewers to watch your long-form videos! For this video, you could tease a couple of the mentioned water slides on a RUclips Short, and then tell viewers that if they want to know more, they should watch this video. Just my thoughts! 😃
When I saw your poll about which slide was the worst, and saw "underwater slide" I sat there confused at how that could be bad... because I just thought it was a slide that went "underwater" like a ride at an aquarium... the tightness in my chest when you showed that it was ENTIRELY FULL of water... naaahhhhh i'll pass so bad 😭
8:26, 8:28 It looks like the A.I. got the painful part right; look how the slide is clipping through the support column, anyone's guaranteed to have their legs smashed by it.
Hey TPC long time veiwer, just want to say i love the video's i probably wouldnt be a coaster enthusiast if i hadn't found your channel a couple years back.
Will you do a video about Epic Universe? I know it's not a top 10 thing but the hype for it right now is unreal especially after the reveal of the Dark Universe land.
While it's definitely not the most consistently dangerous ride on this list (Cannonball Loop absolutely deserves the number 1 spot for that alone), I would definitely consider Flyover the most terrifying slide on this list. The idea of a tight tube you could potentially drown in if you're not a strong swimmer or can't hold your breath for long enough is more than enough to make me scream: "NOPE!"
I'm so sorry but my lord was I laughing during the clip of #6! I think my laughing at pain (including my own!) sent me into hysterics at the people who fell out of their rafts, but especially the first girl whose raft started to zoom while leaving her behind. I admit, I don't like water slides for that exact reason though. I'm not really able to sit on a raft like that and stay in position, and I'm just not into fast paced stuff, so it's things like the lazy river and wave pools for me.
That suction under water slide sounds interesting. I used to love swimming under water and I love water slides so both combined sounds alot of fun. As a teenager, at the peek of my fitness, if I found it, I differently would have tried it.
Looking at Galactica, there is one thing about that water slide I really did like, and that was the look of it. To me, it looked like a mysterious sewer system, and I think that would be an excellent premise for a water slide. Imagine having to walk through a long rider line where the premise of the "story" unfolds (think Disney here). Perhaps there is a major natural disaster that is causing unprecidented levels of flooding, and you are being forced underground at a water works facility to try to escape. The story unfolds as you walk deeper into the facility, and you discover that your only chance to escape to safety is to ride the flood waters through the sewer system. This, I think, could be a great premise for a ride.
Honestly, #10 Galactica was my favorite slide ever. It's a shame it's gone, because there were so many wonderful childhood memories made in there. This slide was the main reason to go to Palm Beach!

There's technically a "looping" water slide at Germany's Aqualand Waterpark. It's not a vertical loop by any means, but it does send you upward. I've been on it a few times.
Yeah, this is how all modern looping sldies are built. Some even have two loops, like the one at Kristall Palm Beach or the now defunct one at Wave in Wörgl, Austria. And there even is a looping slide for inner tubes, the Double Loop at Ondaland, Italy.
There is one at Noah's Ark Waterpark in Wisconsin Dells. It's called Scorpion or Scorpions tail or something like that.
I got an ad for Google's AI company right after you mentioned recreating that slide with AI
Your commentary had me howling, Jesus they really did get yeeted!......"not fun" 😂 that lady on the Japan ride dannnngggg. You go straight into the wall.
Thanks for not including Verruckt.
Oh my goodness I couldn't stop laughing at the Crazy River one. Just guest after guest smacking into a wall and flipping over hahaha.
I need to thank you for really getting me into being a coaster enthusiast. It has been pleasant 3 years so far and can’t wait for the many more to come. Thank you.
It has been my pleasure! Thank you for watching!
The flyover is one of the most scariest experiences I ever seen. I have somehow saw this one twice that I have re-created that planet coaster to use the the coaster trains to hit the guests and Went through the slide
If I had grown up in New Jersey, there is no way my parents would’ve let me within five miles of Action Park.
An underwater water slide? This couldn't possibly go wrong in anyway.
“Gone Wrong” is hilarious
(GONE SEXUAL) (COPS CALLED????)
Dutch person here.
I have been on the Fly-Over myself and it was actually a lot of fun when it was still there. It was also super funny to see in action from a distance.
Some context to keep in mind for everyone thinking this is a death trap;
Back in the day (no longer the case nowadays), learning how to swim was non-negotiable. We had something called "school swimming" where you had to go out and get your swimming diplomas. Now, the important context there is that during one of your swimming diplomas, there was one test you had to do which would make you fail your diploma if you didn't achieve that feat.
This feat being the following:
In the deep pool, pretty far away from the starting block, a sail with a hole cut out of it would be lowered in to the water. You have to dive in, swim through the hole, and surface again all without coming back up for air. Learning how to behave and orient yourself under water is just as important as knowing how to propel yourself, so to much Dutch people this water slide was just a fun thing to do if you could hold your breath long enough 🤣
I would have failed tremendously because I'd just refuse the last test. Maybe it's because I don't go swimming and don't support school's forcing students to do it.
(Very fucked up to make minors change around each other, period)

I lived in the Dutch Air Force base as a kid and went to Swim School, I always thought it was really cool that they did that there.
I used to ride the fly’n Mayan at the dells growing up. I thought it was an absolute blast but I remember it being closed a lot or having really long lines when it was open
The Fly Over's idea made my stomach drop, and I literally live in Vernon, NJ, where Action Park, now known as Mountain Creek, is located.
R.I.P Caleb.
This Love hotel slide is absolutly stupid. how no one broke a leg or a toe on the arrival is a mystery.
Geez! Fly Over made me light headed just hearing about it! I had to take deep breaths during that section
Respect for not covering Verrückt.
The Fly Over looks like a literal, actual nightmare I have had. It is a shame that the queen suite waterslide is so bad because I thought it was adorable. I had seen a video about it, and I would have loved to ride it on the very slim chance that I could go. I would also like to know more about the thought process behind putting a private waterslide in a hotel room, which I have not seen before or since.
Know you mentioned not mentioning Verruckt at the start, but I used to live near where it was. Seeing it in person... Yeah, no amount of money could get me on that thing
Imagine having a test dummy come out missing limbs and a head and then being asked to test it. Holy shit.
wake up honey, theme park crazy just dropped a new video
The left slide looks like a OSHA Violation *WAITING* to happen
"Delta-P-The Ride" looks too intense for me!
Once it's got ya, it's got ya!
I was getting anxiety just watching the “underwater slide”
WOW, the feeling you see a ride on the list you've actually been on!
I'm talking about the waterpipe of Duinrell in my case. Yes, I remember walking in there, and seeing this. I can still remember the true feeling of "wth". But when seeing how long the pipe actually was, it was far less intimidating. I rode it, and honestly, it isn't something you'll remember. If you've your eyes closed, you'll just experience something close to an elevator ride. You'll just be transported. There is no thrill or even much of anxiety. You dive and about 10 seconds later, you come back up another small pool. I do remember how I fear the funnel slide next to it way more, because of the chance that somebody might fall onto you after you fall into the water.
Also, I don't remember any line or instructors with the water pipe. It was just me.
As for your number 2: it reminds me of Batman Forever, if you know what I mean.
Im surprised Verrückt didnt make this list, given its very well documented design testing, and then the incident that happened.
You should totally do a themed water slides type video, there’s a water park in Denver Colorado (Waterworld) with two water slides that act as dark rides done by Sally corp. real cool! I feel like themed water slides really add to an experience
The one in the love hotel has got to win some sort of award for the most potential injuries per metre of any slide in the world!
7:13 did bro really just say that 💀
I DIDNT EVEN NOTICE THAT UNTIL I READ THIS COMMENT 💀💀😭😭
My heart started racing when you brought up that water filled slide... No thank you...
Leave it to (Class) Action Park. I've seen the Cannonball Loop before, but it'll never get old and will always top lists. I've used this very slide as the definitive example of what NOT to design. One look at it should tell anyone with a basic knowledge of physics to NOT ride it. They should have just called it "The Lawsuit." Physics? Where we're going, we don't need physics!
Excellent video! MINDBLOWING stuff! I can just imagine the pitch meeting for the underwater water "slide." "So know how being stuck underneath ice would be utterly terrifying? Let's turn that into a waterslide!" The Fly Over not having a tragedy happen feels like a miracle. Who in their right mind?!
Howwww was fly over deemed "safe" 😮😮😮😮 i always videos of people being stuck in caves underwater and to do this willingly is nuts!
Loved the @AirtimeThrills reference. Two of my favorite park channels coming together!
The Fly Over slide freaks me out! Seriously, it looks like some weird Saw trap the Jigsaw concocted.
Appreciate the mention in the video, keep up the great work
No problem 👍
(Gone Wrong) is crazy ngl 💀
When the First Lady flipped at 5:35 I started laughing so hard. And when the two dudes went flying at 8:57 too. So hilarious.
Fly over is so disturbing and terrifying. Just imagining being sucked by it and having to hold your breath for almost 15 sec... Who did have this brilliant idea? 😂
Some drunk idiot?😅
I enjoy going on water slides, but the look of Fly Over would have me avoiding it at all costs. Also when I started the video, I knew that Action Park would have to make the list and you did not disappoint.
Trust me guys, the supersplash (n 7 ) is not bad and doesnt hurt at all. You almost hit the water like when you dive in the water and its extremely fun+ n.4 got a bit modified i think because i tried it multiple times and saw it multiple times and nothing never happened. I just defended these two attractions bcs they were the only two i actually tried
As a MEGA Water Slide enthusiast, there's some slides that I've seen where I really have to apply common sense and say "yeah no, I'm good"
How Was Cannonball Loop Open To The Public! That Looks Like Something Straight Out Of A Cartoon! 😂
There weren't many safety regulations back in 1983.
@@ButteryBiscuits-hk4px That Is True
The fact that no and I reapet No one on queen suite has fallen off the side of that slammer of a waterslide is Absolutely remarkable 😮 OMG!
WOAH WOAH WOAH! Don’t diss uncle Fred’s tool shed!
7:34 This waterslide is one of the most violent ones I'ves seen omg. It goes SO fast for no reason.
I love how this video gets progressively more scary. The water slides start becoming more and more unhinged. Fly-Over looks absolutely terrifying; it makes all rollercoasters look tame lol 😆
I wanna share a personal tip with you; possibly try more YT shorts content to push viewers to watch your long-form videos! For this video, you could tease a couple of the mentioned water slides on a RUclips Short, and then tell viewers that if they want to know more, they should watch this video. Just my thoughts! 😃
I don't think you could pay me enough to go on the Fly Over, not even for a billion dollars. Thank god it no longer exists.
When I saw your poll about which slide was the worst, and saw "underwater slide" I sat there confused at how that could be bad... because I just thought it was a slide that went "underwater" like a ride at an aquarium... the tightness in my chest when you showed that it was ENTIRELY FULL of water... naaahhhhh i'll pass so bad 😭
8:26, 8:28 It looks like the A.I. got the painful part right; look how the slide is clipping through the support column, anyone's guaranteed to have their legs smashed by it.
Hey TPC long time veiwer, just want to say i love the video's i probably wouldnt be a coaster enthusiast if i hadn't found your channel a couple years back.
Here before this blows up
Making my mark as well.
Same
The Palm Beach one was one of the greatest water slides ever. It was very chill and you always met some fun people on the way down. I still miss it.
Will you do a video about Epic Universe? I know it's not a top 10 thing but the hype for it right now is unreal especially after the reveal of the Dark Universe land.
While it's definitely not the most consistently dangerous ride on this list (Cannonball Loop absolutely deserves the number 1 spot for that alone), I would definitely consider Flyover the most terrifying slide on this list. The idea of a tight tube you could potentially drown in if you're not a strong swimmer or can't hold your breath for long enough is more than enough to make me scream: "NOPE!"
I'm so sorry but my lord was I laughing during the clip of #6! I think my laughing at pain (including my own!) sent me into hysterics at the people who fell out of their rafts, but especially the first girl whose raft started to zoom while leaving her behind.
I admit, I don't like water slides for that exact reason though. I'm not really able to sit on a raft like that and stay in position, and I'm just not into fast paced stuff, so it's things like the lazy river and wave pools for me.
8:26 the supports are inside the slide lol
That suction under water slide sounds interesting. I used to love swimming under water and I love water slides so both combined sounds alot of fun. As a teenager, at the peek of my fitness, if I found it, I differently would have tried it.
Looking at Galactica, there is one thing about that water slide I really did like, and that was the look of it. To me, it looked like a mysterious sewer system, and I think that would be an excellent premise for a water slide. Imagine having to walk through a long rider line where the premise of the "story" unfolds (think Disney here). Perhaps there is a major natural disaster that is causing unprecidented levels of flooding, and you are being forced underground at a water works facility to try to escape. The story unfolds as you walk deeper into the facility, and you discover that your only chance to escape to safety is to ride the flood waters through the sewer system. This, I think, could be a great premise for a ride.
Honestly, #10 Galactica was my favorite slide ever. It's a shame it's gone, because there were so many wonderful childhood memories made in there. This slide was the main reason to go to Palm Beach!
