Beats the metal slides from when I was a kid...

Still reminds me of the ol' metal slide on the playground.

Super tall, surprised that no one fell off the top and died, and a huge ass hole at the bottom from years of kids hitting the base at Mach 5. :D 

I think it was replaced years ago with one of those stupid plastic twister slides and regular pot hole maintenance.

I noticed....re-read my response. :D

I thought you were referring to the usual divot in the dirt at the end of the slide.  The playground/park outside of my old condo had some sort of rubberized surface.

The weird thing about the pic, it looks like there's another opening behind that red post, and maybe another near the shade way behind the slide.  Makes me wonder if they were supposed to be filled with something, which the edges of the concrete around the openings would still seem dangerous.  Or maybe, "They all float down there".

No, I was responding to the dungeon hole at the end of the shoot. :D 

The dip at the end of the mega metal slide at my old school was epic. It added like an extra three feet of air time after leaving the slide. You had two choices : try to slow down so you could crawl off the slide on the side or just gut slam into the side of the pit and try to crawl out before the next kamikaze kid shot out. I think they would try to fill it in on the summer breaks but within a week it was a giant pit again.
