The Urban Slide is coming to Jacksonville

[mtraininjax]

I went today and it was awful.  Bought 5 rides for $25 on Groupon.  When I was walking up I noticed that most people were just walking down the slide due to the lack of a sufficient decline.  I'd already bought the ticket, so I decided to give it at least one go.  After 50 minutes in line I finally got my turn and I positioned my tube and got into launch position!  After sliding for about 15 feet I came to a dead stop and started my walk of shame to the end of the slide.

Ha Ha, it should have been called the Urban Dud. Which it was as people on other sm platforms were calling it the pee highway as they recycled water and sprayed it in your face, well you get the drift of people waiting hours in line, and what do they do.....countless people stuck, so the company resorted to having people PULL riders on tubes with a rope.

Cant wait for the return of the Urban Dud, or Urban Thud. This is probably NOT how to recruit people to downtown....Monroe has more slope toward the Hart Bridge, Ugh.

^ FYI,...the Urban Slide was not a Jax. thing....they go all over the country....and they obviously have had many of the same problems (lack of water, small slope, etc.) in other places....just go online and look at the promo video and notice how only short segments are shown.
