Maybe this was the plan for the tunnel all along.

This is way too much fun to be a 'fellowshipping' activity from the Mormons. Plus, there would be shoulders and knees and all kinds of lascivious body parts out on display! The First Presidency would never allow it.

Sounds like an ideal incubator for a lot of bad bugs...

Actually #5, if you end up with the real ones they're entirely innocent about it and hot(really, really hot) 18 year olds in one-pieces climb all over you and want to play 'dive into the pool like the Power Rangers' games.

I just couldn't.

Oh, summer of going door to door in Southern California.

Horrible idea. By allowing it the city is putting taxpayer's necks out there for a huge injury lawsuit. Did we learn nothing from turbo tubes in totem lake in the 80's?

I was excited, until I got to the part where tickets are $15 to $60.
You have to PAY?
Bullshit.
the city should pay for this, or Paul Allen, or Bezos or some other damn billionaire.

OH, and tell Dori- fuck taxpayers. Especially ones who dont live in the city, and complain about things that happened in "totem lake"- which is a swamp somewhere in Kirkland, I think.
Pestilence upon all you suburban twats.

Tear down viaduct.
Use rubble to bury Betha.
Install slip-n-slide.

Mission Accomplished.

@6 and @8 have it right. Sounds less than sanitary.

And by that I mean it looks like a yeast infection waiting to happen.

Here's a rundown on all the other cities & their news outlets who're running this company's press release as news

@18: I think even that is optimistic for what you could potentially be exposing yourself to.

Well, considering we're looking at a potential drought year with the low snowpack, the optics won't exactly look good.

The watershed for drinking water is indeed low this year. The snowpack for electric is looking very good, however.

LOL, we sell you a Slip n Slide ride for at least $25, we hire no one & we're gone before anyone thinks twice.

@13 It looks like it's a private enterprise. No "taxpayers" involved.

Ok riddle me this; I watched the weird promotional video they have on the company website and it appears to be 100% not a single black person enjoying their big slip and slide. Just good clean fun guess.

Oooh, put it down here! There's a whopping 19 feet of room for people to, I don't know, get out, or line up, or something in the tunnel!
