Standing 17 meters over the Caribbean Bay water park, some riders have been known to have second thoughts as they step into the Aqualoop and wait for its trapdoor to fall open. A vertical drop and a frothing torrent of water carries park-goers through a thrilling loop, spilling out into a pool below. What better way to confront the summer heat?

As the seasons settles in, Caribbean Bay is once again opening its doors to its most famous and exciting water slides, including Mega Storm, Aqualoop, and the Tower Boomerang Go. But with all those twists, turns, and sudden drops, just how do these slides work without riders flying off the edge? It’s all a simple matter of physics.
