Great image for a water slide themed SCP

Efforts at containment were in vain, because this metastasized theme park is only a symptom. The real organism permeates the ground. It's like a fungus - the mushrooms are only its fruit. All theme parks in North America are part of the same network. (Except for Six Flags Over Texas, which is a convergent mimic species. And sucks.) This is why Eurodisney and Tokyo Disneyland struggled for ages. Same reason pines couldn't be transplanted to New Zealand. It's a whole different environment we're blind to because it's inside a fucking rock.

This colony in Qatar has taken hold, but it's reaching deeper than any prior example. It's reaching deeper than current equipment can measure. If we just dynamited this whole thing, we cannot guess where it would emerge next. We're more worried about it making contact with the North American infestation and exploding throughout the world. The current plan is to provide more scaffolding in hopes this ridiculous jumble of tubing continues growing in the middle of fuckoff nowhere and burns out its resources.
