This water slide towers over some of the smaller amusement rides at Ocean Beach Park in New London, CT. Next to the water slide is an Olympic-sized swimming pool. I've always thought water slides looked like a lot of fun, and maybe one day I'll try one out. However, if I go to a beach along the ocean, I would much prefer to swim in the ocean than go down a water slide or swim in a concrete pool. There's something about the waves and salt water.
Water slides can be great fun. I get to wait in line with kids half my hight for a chance to go sliding down a twisting bobsled-like run that can do a number on my equilibrium. Then the slid dumps me out into a pool of water where I can't tell up from down. Ah, and it only cost me admission to my local swimming pool, and I can go as many times as I want until adrenaline gets old. The one in your photo looks a bit aged and tame.
