Falling Into a Shark Tank

... in slow motion using the iPhone 6. The iPhone has a slo-mo setting shooting at 240 frames per second causing life to pass by at a snails pace. I had an old housing which fit the phone so I took it down the slide at Atlantis' Mayan Pyramid.

The chute seems to be almost vertical causing you to free fall down into an acrylic tube which passes through the shark tank. I understand you get going up to around 35 mph during the fall. The last time I dropped down it was 14 years ago and I could swear they did something to mellow the drop up a bit, played with the chute angle?

Let's go for a run in slow motion. I threw in some footage of flying out of FLL over the new runway which extends over Federal Highway via a new bridge. You can see the large "x's" indicating it isn't open for business quite yet. Shorter take off and landing aircraft only at this time.
