Watersides can be fun, but they never seem long enough, so how can you make it last longer. Last month A German company released videos of a "slidewheel" that they had built and are attempting to sell as an amusement park ride? Rolling the water slide around like a ferris wheel turns a regular ride in to a roller coaster like experience, but is it new? Turns out in 2008 a team lead by a couple of electrical engineers took on the challenge of making a "backyard water slide" for an old Discovery TV showed called "Prototype This!." In five weeks they build a machine that acted like a mile long water slide, not just spinning you around, but rocking you back and forth as you "traveled" down the slide.
