water slides

Wet amusement rides

Water slides are sloped, slick chutes designed for sliding down into a pool or splash zone, typically at amusement parks, water parks, or public pools.

Riders descend on a film of flowing water, either directly on the surface or on inflatable tubes.

The term also describes the act of using one: The kids spent all afternoon on the water slides.
