Greeting the first visitors near the entrance of the park was this ominous sight - An enclosed water slide with a vertical loop! This was the only such slide in the world to feature this maneuver. I have not personally ridden this, as it was never open to the public (only for a short time). Looking like fun, this was a potential death trap (note the "hatch" installed at the bottom of the slide just before the loop). Park employees were actually paid $100 to try this back in the 80's! A test dummy sent down the slide came out the other end missing its head. Those (un)lucky enough to try this ride (during it's very brief operation) often suffered back / neck injuries - The loop is circular, not the "clothoid" (tear-drop shape) we see on roller coasters - So anyone hitting the start of the loop would incur G-forces that could cause whiplash and even spinal injuries. It remained shut-down for many years, but silently stood here at the park entrance until it closed; reminding many that Action Park meant business when it came to risks.
