I think they were just so they could film itAmazing as that looks, I can't be the only one worried by a water slide that requires safety helmets?

I'm not sure whether this legendary coaster has been mentioned at all;
I bring to you: Hundeprutterutchebane at BonBon Land! Which loosely translated is Danish for Dog Fart Coaster! There is a large statue of a dog named Henry having a poop in the middle of the ride and you go through a dog kennel where you have fart noises played to you. In fact, I think that judging by photos and videos, the whole of BonBon Land deserves a mention! I will just put in this summary video of BonBon Land and its attractions:
Need I explain any further?

I would also like to give another ride a mention: Drachen Fire at Busch Gardens Williamsburg! For those of you that don't know, this was basically Arrow trying to recreate a B&M. It went badly wrong, and as such, it only operated for around 5 years. Here's a really interesting Defunctland video on it:

Wrong colour

Well are you the same colour on the inside as on the outside?

To be honest, I quite like the waterslide concept, think it's quite clever that you always stay in the centre. Means no ride will really be the same.

I'm stretching the limits on the definition of strangest rides here with a railway, but still it's an impressive feat.

The world's steepest funicular railway has opened to the public in Switzerland.
Specially constructed cylindrical carriages have been used to ensure that passengers can stay upright.
The floors tilt, adjusting to the slope as the funicular climbs 110m (360ft) over a distance of 100m at the steepest point.
The railway runs from the town of Schwyz up to the car-free Alpine village of Stoos.
The Stoos Bahn took 14 years to build - two years longer than scheduled - at a cost of 52m Swiss francs (£40m; $53m).
But Ivan Steiner, spokesman for the railway, said the project's completion had made everyone "very proud".
In mountainous Switzerland, where children regularly use cable cars to get to school, the line will connect communities as well as provide a new tourist attraction, reports the BBC's Imogen Foulkes.
Should potential passengers feel fainthearted, they can be reassured that the journey lasts just four minutes.
