Still interesting, and nice photo! But being able to go inside would have been so cool..

Well crud, came to the comments wondering exactly that. Be a cool place to park one's kayak or canoe, stretch legs. If you can't get on it, it's utterly useless. And news flash, people are going to climb all over it anyway.

Is this one of the leftover rides from Action Park?

Literally was telling my friends about the loopy water slide while we were looking at this

Looks like they strapped a massive turbo onto a tiny boat. That's gonna make some power!
