1. Waterslide "Verrückt" (Kansas City, Missouri, USA)

Since 2014, Kansas has been home to the tallest waterslide in the world. Towering 168 feet (51.21 m), its starting point is even higher than Niagara Falls, and a three-person boat can travel nearly 45 miles per hour (72 km/h).

2. Waterslide "Kilimanjaro" (Mato Grosso, Brazil)


Located within the Águas Quentes State Park, the Kilimanjaro is only a few feet lower than the aquatic Verrückt at 164 feet (50 m).

3. Waterslide "Insano" (Fortaleza, Brazil)


Located in Beach Park in a tourist resort in Brazil, Insano is a waterslide that will take you down at 65 miles per hour (104.61 km/h).

All you have to do is stand on the platform inside the pod and it will open up underneath you, forcing you to quickly descend the 400-foot (121.92 m) covered slide.

5. Jumeirah Sceirah Waterslide (Dubai, UAE)


Another super-extreme waterslide for real adrenaline addicts is located in Dubai, in the Wild Wadi Waterpark.

In the water park, even adults pay attention to large slides. This fun is not only for little people. After all, for their amusement, people built real monsters that can scare even an avid lover of water recreation.

Wiegand Maelzer Slide Tower, Area47, Tyrol, Austria. Tyrol usually attracts extreme sports enthusiasts in winter. After all, during the ski season you can ride with the breeze. But in the summer you can have a good rest here. The unique Area47 water park offers a dizzying ride. Having risen to a height of 30 meters, everyone can decide on the spot which of the five slides to slide down. The most dangerous of them is a 100-meter chute, twisted in a spiral. The most desperate can decide to go down a special 30-meter slope on a special board resembling a snowboard. Only at the end of the track, an extreme surprise awaits in the form of a springboard.

Divertical, Mirabilandia, Ravenna, Italy. In this Italian amusement park, an interesting hybrid of water and roller coasters has recently appeared. The slide was completed in 2012 at a cost of $26 million. A dozen people climb up on the trailer. At the same time, the height is about 60 meters, it should be noted that this is the largest such attraction in the world. The trailer begins to rapidly rush down the rails along a bizarrely curved path. As a result, under the screams of excited people, the transport flies into the pools. The sea of ​​spray immediately rises up, falling on the passengers. Diving occurs at an angle of 45 degrees at a speed of 65 km / h.

Toboggan, Città del Mare Hotel Village, Palermo, Italy. AT picturesque place The islands of Sicily are located immediately 11 steep descents into the water. Interestingly, not all paths end with a pool, some throw people straight into the Mediterranean Sea. Only at such a high speed it will not be possible to admire the sea views of the Gulf of Castellammare, but this can be done later, relaxing on a sun lounger near the pool.

The Leap of Faith, Aquaventure, Dubai, UAE. This huge water park is located on the island of the "small palm tree" in Dubai. In this entertainment center, you can swim with dolphins, ride an inflatable torus along the “lazy” river, and after that just lie on an excellent sandy beach. But many come here because of the ziggurat. Climbing this tower, it is proposed to choose entertainment according to the level of courage. You can ride through a transparent underwater tunnel that runs right through the realm of sharks swimming here, or you can make a "Leap of Faith" - down a vertical chute from a height of 30 meters. There is a similar water park in the Bahamas. There, in 2008, a real reef shark broke into the pool. It's good that the attraction was closed at this time for visitors. And the unfortunate creature could not bear the chlorinated water and died.

RideHouse, Happy Magic Water Cube Waterpark, Beijing, China. The Chinese have managed to radically change the usual swimming pool. After the end of the Olympics, it was rebuilt, creating the largest water park in Asia. The design is amazing - there are valves, and water cannons, jellyfish, nets ... Visitors will not be bored - they can ride from a seven-story slide, swim in a pool with waves, soak in a jacuzzi with deep-sea tornadoes. But most interesting entertainment here is the Ridehouse. This structure combined as many as 12 slides. At the same time, while some daredevils rush through the curved labyrinths, a huge cube of water is poured onto others standing in line every 2 minutes.

Behemoth Bowl, Chimelong Water Park, Guangzhou, China. Few people dare to ride the hippo slide at Chimelong Water Park. Rare daredevils are seated on a small inflatable raft. It accelerates through a translucent hundred-meter tunnel to a speed of 10 meters per second. Then the structure flies into a large bowl and, circling in it, falls into a drain hole in the middle. And only then through the gutter people get into the pool. At the same time, the system for accurately passing the raft along the path set by the engineers even received a patent, which guarantees safety.

Insano, Beach Park, Aquiras, Brazil. Although this 40-meter slide is not the highest in the world, people here in the Brazilian resort can fly almost perpendicular to the ground, for about 5 seconds. Insano is a fairly simple design - it's the only slope, it's just pretty steep. Moments of traveling along a steep gutter from the height of a 14-story building will certainly be remembered for a lifetime. After all, in a short time a person will accelerate to a speed of 100 km / h, and you can already understand what exactly happened when you are in the pool. Although the slide is not the highest in the world, 788 thousand people came to ride it or just admire the high-speed races in 2011.

Mount Gushmore's Summit Plummet, Blizzard Beach at Walt Disney World, Orlando, USA. It's strange to see snow in a hot summer. But the first thing that catches your eye in this amusement park is a 30-meter snow-covered mountain. At its top is a small wooden house. From here you can slide down the chute, and at the end of the path there will be a small springboard. Jumping on it, you can feel the chilling horror of a free fall from a height of 36 meters and at a speed of 100 km / h. The picturesque hill from Disney Park is the most photographed man-made mountain in the world.

King Cobra, Six Flags Hurricane Harbor, Jackson, USA. The name of the king cobra is given to this hill for a reason. It is the longest snake on the planet. Inside the 78-meter slide, painted with red, black and orange stripes, you can accelerate through the tube to a speed of 50 km/h. At the same time, a lover of such entertainment will have to overcome unexpected turns and sharp dizzying descents. The attraction appeared in 2012, but has already managed to become a sensation. Today, this water slide is one of the scariest in the world.

AquaDuck, Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy cruise ships. The creators of these cruise liners tried to create real water parks on them. That is why the AquaDuck attraction turned out to be unique, and you should also take into account its size. While the ship plows the oceans, any passenger can pass the time by traveling on a two-seater inflatable raft through a transparent acrylic tube. The start is from the stern on the 12th deck, then the route runs right over the side of the ship at a height of 45 meters above the water level.

Wild Vortex, Wielderness at the Smokies, USA. In this water park, most of the attractions are hidden under a large roof, which allows you to enjoy the thrill throughout the year. However, adrenaline junkies choose the open-air Wild Vortex slide. Its height is 20 meters, and it opened in June 2012. The entire ride lasts only 7 seconds, but don't underestimate this attraction.

Cliffanger, Schlitterbahn, Galveston, USA. This amusement park opened in 2007. Mountain "climber" became the highest of all four similar American establishments. Here, too, the beginning of the path begins almost with a steep fall down. People fly into the water at a speed of 35 miles per hour in just 25 meters of travel. It should be noted that this slide is open, so that extreme people can see how quickly the surrounding world flashes before their eyes.

Mammoth, Holiday World and Splashin' Safari, Santa Claus, USA. This waterslide cost $5.5 million. For its operation, a special asynchronous linear motor is used. From the slide "Mammoth" with a height of 7 floors, the water park itself began to expand.

The descent will take quite a bit of time - up to six seconds. The speed of the "ride" is more than 100 km per hour. From a height of 41 meters you crashed down in five or six seconds.

Here you have the opportunity to look behind your emotions when you come to your senses. Those who wish can purchase a video of their unprecedented flight.

The Brazilians are in the lead. The biggest slides in the water park exactly in this country. They also have the highest hill in the world, Kilimanjaro. She beat her predecessor by 9 meters. And its height is almost 50 m.

"Mammoth" in the USA

If the Americans did not take the height, then they have a clear superiority in length. Holiday World and Splashin' Safari water park is famous for its longest slides. There are two of them here. Wildebeest stretched for 520 meters, and Mammoth for 537 meters.

Descents on them go on inflatable boats. You will be leaving for two and a half minutes. You are waiting for steep descents and ascents, unprecedented turns and several flights in an enclosed space.

When the Mammoth was opened, an inflatable boat was specially made for it, on which six people can comfortably accommodate. You can ride with your family, but the height of your children must be above 120 cm.

"Mammoth" is included in the "Guinness Book of Records" as the longest water attraction.

"AquaLoop" with dead loop

The dead loop is famous for the "Wild Water World" (as "AquaLoop" is translated), which is located in the Australian water world "Wet`n` Wild Water World". Those who dare to descend, not once, but four times will be wrapped in a noose.

The slide is transparent. At the very beginning of the flight, you stand in the capsule, and in two seconds you reach top speed. And after 7 seconds you already understand that all the horror is over.

slide with sharks

It's incredibly scary! You fly down a slide and into a pool that is teeming with sharks and rays. You see them as well as they see you. And only a transparent wall protects you, and, of course, your speed.

"Aquaventure" - this water attraction is called and it is located in the United Arab Emirates. And the very placement of such an unusual descent is worth it to visit here. There is a slide with sharks on the first artificial "Palm Island".

There is a similar slide in Las Vegas. It was built at the Golden Nugget Hotel. It starts on the third floor, and land on the first. You will also rush past the sharks that swim quietly very close by.

Vanish Rollercoaster

In Japan in a fantastic park water world CosmoWorld built this slide. The length of this extreme is one km, and the descent takes only 2 minutes. "Train" with vacationers rushes along steep turns water attraction and then plunges into the water.

In fact, he goes into a hole in the pool. When the “locomotive” approaches, the fountain turns on, which creates the illusion that everything goes under water. It turns off after the last descender dives into the hole.

At the same time, people do not even get wet. And from the outside, everyone is sure that they plunged headlong.

And other frightening, frightening

In Spain, the King Hajun slide was built in honor of a Hawaiian legend. It is not so high - only 31 meters. The descent at an angle of 55 degrees will occur at a speed of almost 60 meters per second.

In Australia, "Wedgie" is an engineering marvel. This is a closed tube through which the visitor rushes at a speed of 3 meters per second. It's all in a turbulent stream of water. Lots of unexpected twists and turns that end in a quiet landing.

Faster than a racing car is a man on a hill in Italy. The height of "Stukas" is 30 meters. Approximately 10th floor of the building. Not all visitors, after going upstairs, decide to go down.
