This ugly looking water slide, as you can see, climaxed in a loop. The problem was, the physics of the slide were such that your odds of getting through the loop by actually looping were pretty small. JV's eyes were aglow as he described this to us, but since you weren't there, you'll have to settle for this article at io9, Behold the water slide so dangerous it was shut down immediately.
Of course, some members of the VCA will merely have their appetites whetted by reading this. The good news is, Action Park as a whole was something of a watery death trap. Fortunately, Complex has a complete guide to all the park's attractions, including casualty statistics. So you can relive the fun, and danger, and thank your lucky stars that you weren't there to enjoy it.
As I say, JV was positively gleeful as he described this mess as only a physics teacher can.

I rather like the following article linked from the one you posted. The calm, placid facial expressions of the occupants is hilarious when you consider what the "ride" was.

And in *that* post, there's a link to the euthanasia coaster. Rides of death can become an internet obsession. Oh, wait. The already are.
