gunk tank

I think this could be something similar to the 'gunk tank' used in UK shows.
This is a plastic box with the contestant sitting on a share, and a funnel feeds multi-coloured gunk (liquid) down onto him her.
In this case the box would be open...a bit like a large paddling pool, and the contestants would launch themselves into it.
Probably needing a paddling pool for afterwards to wash all the syrup off!

Sorry, sitting on a \'chair\'!

Fun box....because it\'s fun to be covered in syrup and butter...and the \'paddling pool\' is box-shaped, I guess.

The term seems to be most commonly used for intricate ramps for scateboarding.

Convic design's fun boxes with one thing in mind..Fun. A good fun box is the centre piece of any good street course. It has to be as versatile as possible with the more approach angles and workable surfaces the better. Shown below optioned out with a kerb cut and slide rail attached.

I'm not sure, though, if such a contraption is fitting in your context.
