You ride on: body or tube
Dark slide
A closed tunnel that is totally dark inside, so you never know which way the next turn goes!A fully closed flume, often black or opaque, so riders cannot see the route. Modern versions add LED rings, projections or translucent bands (WhiteWater AquaLucent; Polin introduced its natural-light effects in 2009).
