    I might have believed it if they had high powered water cannons to propel him at the velocity he would need to fly far enough to hit the pool. The buckets ruined it.

    Ok, this may be fake and all... but that just means someone HAS GOT to make it real!

    The website shows it to be centered around the project of making that slide.
    "MEGAWOOSH is my idea for the unusual waterslide in the world. Conceived and designed by me. It is my dream, they are on a really high mountain to implement."
    Thanks, google translator!

    I'm gonna go with fake.
    Rather convenient the way the view of the guy (dummy) is blocked by the hillside right as he (it) comes into the ramp.
    While not impossible to hit the target, it would be very difficult to do repeatably with a floppy human that slides down a ramp as your projectile.
    Compared to the velocity and trajectory, the landing looks very fishy.

    I'm saying they have a cut frame while he is at the top of the slide, and replace him with a dummy. Stick him in the pool, do it a few times until they get the dummy to land in the pool, and then he pops out.

    @Hi, I'm God: possibly, but then how do you explain the cannon ball he pulls himself into right before landing?

    That jump could only be calculated specifically for that guy. If someone weighed a little to much or not enough they would not have landed into that pool. But holy crap I really hope that thing is real.

    This could very well be a urinal/sink combo. That might be why there are two tiers, corresponding to the respective heights of your three arms.
