This Thrill-Seeking Arizona Waterslide Unleashes a Trapdoor Drop and a Near-Vertical Free Fall

We all know waterslides give you a gentle push and a few seconds to settle in. This Arizona ride has a different idea. You step into a capsule, stand over a trapdoor, and wait for the floor beneath your feet to disappear. That pause might only last a moment, but I am fairly certain my brain would use it to reconsider every decision that brought me there. Then comes the drop. The slide sends riders into a nearly vertical plunge before sweeping them through the rest of the course at serious speed.
