Info
In 1957 the park added a Water Chute close to the main entrance on Hyde Road not far from the Bobs. The ride was fairly simple, with a car designed to hold a number of pairs of passengers. The car slowly climbed a steep track, swung around a short summit and then hurtled down into a pool that was surrounded by a glass viewing wall. The riders screamed as they descended the track towards the water and the spectators ducked and flinched every time the water crashed against the glass wall.
