You ride on: a four-person raft
SlideWheel
A giant wheel as tall as a house that slowly turns while you're inside it! Your raft rolls forwards and backwards inside the spinning tube.A wide open flume carrying four to six riders in a round raft. ProSlide's Mammoth raft slide debuted in 1990; WhiteWater sells the Family Raft Ride. Disney's 1,400 ft Teamboat Springs at Blizzard Beach is the long-standing benchmark.

The wheel is 24 metres tall, weighs as much as 30 elephants and turns twice a minute. The first one opened at Chimelong Water Park in China in 2018. A German company called Wiegand invented it, and the idea came from an eight-year-old boy in Switzerland!
