The Abyss "Cool" Slide?!

On the new deck plans posted by Royal Caribbean, the Abyss launching area refers to it as the "Abyss 'Cool' Slide." What could this mean? An ice slide? I know some are saying it won't be a water slide!

See the posts on the slide in this thread - around page 50. Dry slide aft of the ship

I think it was noted on another thread that they had now updated the deck plans to not contain the word 'cool' in the name of the Ultimate Abyss.

Either way, the slide had the name "cool" at one point. My point is could it have been a hint as to a possible feature?

There has been a lot comments that a dry slide on the back of the ship would be very hot. Maybe RC is going to have feature to "cool" this slide?

^^^^ exactly

maybe it will be a refrigerated tube.

Nice to see that a tall slide doesn't require a long exit area that may intrude 'deep' into the Boardwalk.

Also nice to see the possibility of seeing outside the slide on the way down. Could be some nice views of ocean and port. :D
