The water better have a just in time delivery system as it'd be heavy... Probably better off with ag-bots on that.

Why water slide? Seems a regular slide would be more practical in many ways.

Friction cooling.

i don't know if they tore it down yet, but 30 years ago there was a great park a few towns over with a long cement downhill. don't know what it was from, but if you brought cardboard you could slide down it without (usually) hurting yourself.

When do we get the escalator?

Now, what about escalators? ...for the escalating part of the hike.
