Summary
NoS Summary - funfair water chute is shown in real time and slow motion
British Pathe synopsis: "Who has not experienced the thrill of the water chute...?" M/S of the tracks of a funfair water chute. A boat full of holidaymakers zooms past down the chute. M/S of the boat coming out onto the lake of water at the bottom of the chute. "...and sometimes wished it could be "slowed" like this.." Same M/S angle showing slow motion footage of the chute. Then slow motion footage of it bouncing out onto the lake at the bottom. "Here we go again!" Point of view shot from on board the boat as it goes down the chute. This is probably shot at an American theme park.
