Daring New Waterslide That Takes Guests Over The Edge ..Of The Ship!

Between 2011 and 2012, the two new Disney cruise ships are rumored to offer an exciting thrill ride of sorts. A waterslide with transparent acrylic tubing will send riders over the edge of the ship and out over and high above the sea. I'd be counting my lucky stars upon spashing to a halt at the end. Wouldn't it be ominously WILD to ride it out at night?

If Jounny Depp were on hand to slide over the ocean deep with you, would you give it a go, Stitchy?

Royal Caribbean already has ships that have hot tubs that hang over the sides of the ship, so why couldn't Disney make it a slide? I think it's a great idea. I wouldn't slide on it though!!!

That is a neat idea.....it would be cool if the slide went into the ship...say through the lobby or a nightclub....now that would be neat at night!

Watching fat people in little speedos going on clear waterslides through the lobby. Now that's entertaining!
