The article, presented as a serious news piece, describes the amusing proposal of constructing a giant pink waterslide, named the 'Romford Barbie,' at the Gallows Corner roundabout. Set to be 80 meters tall, the waterslide aims to attract tourists to Romford. Access would be via five diagonal rope bridges, allowing thrill-seekers to slide down into a splash pool. The piece satirically discusses the anticipated economic benefits and traffic impacts, leaving readers amused by the outlandish concept, particularly on April Fools' Day.
Walt R. Slide, head of flume manufacturer Fun Only On Long Slides (FOOLS), said: "We at FOOLS are super excited to take this proposal to the next level - this news is going to make a splash!"
The proposed new flume - nicknamed the Romford Barbie - will be hot pink, to stand out from the grey of the flyover, and will follow a corkscrew shape.
It will boost the local economy by bringing in water slide enthusiasts from across the world, and brighten up the town.
To access the waterslide, thrill seekers will need to climb up one of five rope bridges, extending at a sharp diagonal from next to each junction of the roundabout into the centre.
