Back in the day Adventure Island had the best tube ride built into the mountain /rockwork with a few twisty slides.
It wasnt very tall but had a decent fun level - more than one splashdown pool where a lifeguard would grab your tube and fling you down the next segment.
And brilliant because it wasn't in a typical slide pipe. Rather the ground it was on was set in the rockwork and then covered with a squishy membrane. Kind of like the faux turf they use in kiddie play areas and water areas now - but smooth.
So though it was bumpy and you bounced off the walls the whole thing was padded.
