funnel slide

Enclosed twisting chute

A funnel slide is a playground feature where a traditional slide empties into a large funnel-shaped bowl, sending riders spinning around the curved walls before dropping through the center hole to exit below.

The design adds rotational momentum to the descent: The kids lined up for the funnel slide at the water park.
