The Netherlands needs to step up their artificial hill game!
BraidedSilversays
It’s supposed to be a skiing slope in the winter.

Is this where they roll over people in that giant clear plastic ball? I don’t know what it’s called so I can only describe it. The ball is clear and big enough for a person or two to sit inside and then runners have fun racing in front of it and getting bowled over.
This probably isn’t that.. but now I want it to be.

Does that turn into a ski track at winter or what?

netflix has a great series called abstract about designers in various mediums, and the first season has an episode on the architect bjarke ingels that features the construction of this hill. incredibly cool to see it completed

Fun/fucked-up fact: the chimney was supposed to blow giant smoke-rings, representing a quarter ton Co2 each.
And the mechanism was made in part by a now-notorious submarine murderer, “Rocket Madsen”.
Really hope they add a guard rail at the end of that slope.

I’m just looking and the end of the first slope noticing the thinnest blue netting put up to stop you from shooting off the side of that building to the afterlife
