Is the water slide really gone?

Haven't been to Hedo for almost 2 years and was wondering if the water slide was still being there and being used?

It's gone, it was dismantled and completely removed.

Gone gone gone.

It is such a bummer, but no more Naked Waterslide.

If I remember correctly, the consensus was that it is an insurance issue.

I read on here somewhere the the water slide was closed due to a law suit filed against The previous owners of Hedo. The person was seriously injured as a result of using the slide.

Will miss it. I was honoured to be a part of one of the last rides on the waterslide last September

That lawsuit was regarding a blow up slide on the nude side brought in by a group. The lawsuit regarding regular slide was someone who broke their foot or ankle. The slide was taken out because the insurance company told them they would not cover any injuries basically. Which is a shame considering many other resorts in Jamaica have water slides. Hedo 2 gets a bad rap because of the reputation.

When we used it our 1st trip about 20 months ago, they had a guard operating at the top and the bottom like at a water park. They would only let 1 person go at a time and it seemed well controlled and regulated. Since they closed it anyway, insurance had to be at the heart of it.
