Water Chute at Marine Lake, Rhyl


The spectacular water chute at Rhyl’s Marine Lake must have been a spellbinding attraction when it was built in 1910, and here we re-experience its white-knuckle ride as the chute car descends the dizzying structure before splashing into the water beneath. The chute’s plunging drop is echoed in the massive, skeletal roller coaster to the left and the distant mountains beyond.
