Five of the tallest and scariest rollercoasters in the world. The highest water slides in the world (8 photos) The biggest slides in the water park
1. Summit Plummet
Disney's Blizzard Beach, Walt Disney World Resort - Bay Lake, Florida, USA
This is one of the fastest and scariest water slides in the world. A huge, 40-meter slope (approximately the height of a 12-storey building) will test the strength of even the most experienced thrill-seekers.
2. Tantrum Alley
Wild Wadi Water Park, Jumeirah Beach Hotel - Dubai, UAE
One of the best slides to have fun with friends. You are provided with a four-man raft that will take you through two sloping slides and three circulating tubes.
3.Insano
Beach Park, Porto das Dunas - Fortaleza, Brazil
Insano - the highest slide in the world with 14 floors! On this descent you accelerate to a speed of 100 km/h. Since you are mostly in free fall, you can reach the end of the slide in 4-5 seconds.
4. Leap of Faith
Atlantis Paradise Island Resort - Paradise Island, Bahamas
This 20-meter slide is designed in the style of a Mayan temple. The difference of this slide is that during the descent you dive into the pool with sharks. We can only hope that the sharks do not break through the translucent tunnel 🙂
5. The Wildebeest
Holiday World & Splashin' Safari, Santa Claus - Indiana, USA
Wildebeest is the second longest slide in the world. You and three friends take a special boat-lift to the top of the hill, and only then go into the tunnel.
6. Scorpion's Tail
Noah's Ark Water Park, Wisconsin Dells - Wisconsin, USA
This 130m waterslide has one breathtaking drop where you plummet at 15m/s. Scorpion's Tail is a slide for real adrenaline lovers.
7. Citta del Mare
Citta del Mare Hotel Village – Terrasini, Italy
This is probably the most "calm" water slide on our list. Citta del Mare is divided into four steps with pools between them. And on the last descent you plunge right into the warm Mediterranean Sea.
8. L2
Wave Water Adventure World - Vergel, Austria
This double loop slide will help you get more speed and 14 meters of free fall.
9.Epic Plunge
Norwegian Epic Water Park – Norwegian Epic, Norwegian cruise ship
This is the only waterslide on the ship with three tunnels, a funnel and a spectacular drop through a 200-meter pipe section.
10 Brain wash
Wet 'n Wild Orlando, Orlando - Florida, USA
A stunning slide for the company. First you climb to the height of a 6-story building, then you slide down from a 17-meter height and fall into a 20-meter huge funnel. It's an incredible feeling!
11. Aqualoop
Terme 3000 Water Park - Slovenia
This park is located in the thermal springs area in Slovenia. Aqualoop is a 360-degree looping slide that will take you to speeds of up to 60 km/h.
12. Twister and Speedy
Fun World & Speed World, Sonnentherme Lutzmannsburg – Lutzmannsburg, Austria
Twister is a very long slide - 220 meters. And Speedy is by far the fastest, so in tandem it's great fun.
13. The Cyclone
World Waterpark, West Edmonton Mall - Edmonton, Canada
Since the temperature in Canada can drop to -40 degrees, Canadians prefer indoor water parks, but they are no less interesting. The Cyclone Hill offers you a ride from a 17-meter height at a speed of up to 60 km/h.
14 Summit Tower
Calypso Park, Limoges - Ontario, Canada
Tallest waterslide in North America. This is a great place for speed lovers.

Incredible Facts
At the Schlitterbahn water amusement park in Kansas, USA, there is a waterslide called Verruckt (which means "crazy, crazy" in German).
On the raft, 4 people will be able to go down at once and they will go down at a speed of about 104 km / h.
The highest hill
This design claims to be the highest slide in the world.
At the moment, the exact height of the water slide has not been disclosed, as the official opening is scheduled for May 23, 2014, but it is known that the slide will be about the height of a 17-story building.
It is worth noting that so far the highest slide in the world, listed in the Guinness Book of Records, is the Insano slide in the Brazilian amusement park Beach Park in Fortaleza.
While the slide in Kansas has not opened, you can visit it virtually.
The scariest water slides in the world
Water slides of the world: Insano
The slide owes its name to the crazy descent, which causes dizziness. The height of the slide is 41 meters, which is slightly higher than a 14-storey building.
Despite the fact that the fun lasts only 4-5 seconds, few people can resist from accelerating to speeds of over 100 km/h.
Big water slides: Summit Plummet
Visitors to the Blizzard Beach Water Park, located at Walt Disney World, can't help but pass by the 110-meter-long slide, which can ride at a speed of 95 km/h.
Biggest waterslide: The Mammoth
Located in Indiana's Splashin' Safari Water Park, this hydro-magnetic attraction has 7 slides (the highest being 21 meters high).
Those who wish to ride are located in a round vehicle that does not leave the boundaries of the slide. One walk can last up to 4 minutes.
Extreme Water Slides: L2
Those who have already tried to ride this slide think twice before riding again. It is located in the Austrian water park "Wave die Worgler Wasserwelt" and boasts of being the first waterslide with a double loop.
First you need to stand in a box, from where you are lowered down, and you "fall" about 14 meters before crazy turns begin.
Attractions water slides: Cliffhanger
This slide from Schlitterbahn Park, Galveston, Texas, rises to 25 meters.
It provides people with easy ascents and descents. And yet it stands out for its height when compared with similar slides, speed and steep descents on which you can reach speeds of 55 km / h.
The scariest water slide: Scorpion's Tail
"Scorpion Tail" can be found in Noah's Ark Family Park, Wisconsin. The height of this slide is about a 10-story building, and the length is almost 122 meters.
You enter the capsule, the door is closed behind you, and after 3 seconds the floor collapses under you and you, almost from a right angle, begin to "fall" down, accelerating at a speed of about 15 meters per second. The only thing that slows down the fall is the slide loop. Among other things, you can perfectly see everything that happens outside, because. The slide is made of transparent fiberglass.
It is difficult for adventure seekers to stay at home within four walls - they are always looking for something new and interesting for themselves. For this, rides in amusement parks are great, which can give you a real adrenaline rush. But today there are many more ways than crazy rollercoaster rides.
And if you want to up the ante, there are theme parks in the world that have some of the tallest waterslides! And here are some of them:
1. Waterslide "Verrückt" (Kansas City, Missouri, USA)
Since 2014, Kansas has been home to the tallest waterslide in the world. Standing 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).
Unfortunately (or fortunately), adrenaline junkies won't be able to experience the thrill soon, as the waterslide is scheduled to close for the foreseeable future after an accident occurred on it in 2016.
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).
They say that this slide is so steep that the body practically does not touch its surface until you are at the very bottom.
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).
That means it's not going down by boat: it's just you and the slide, which is 135 feet (41.15 m) high. The ride ends with a four-second splash fall into the pool.
4. Scorpion’s Tail Waterslide (Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin, USA)
The Scorpion Tail Waterslide is located at Noah's Ark Waterpark, considered the largest amusement park in the United States.
The uniqueness of this water slide is that you do not even have to make an effort to go down - a special mechanism will do it for you. 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. It's like the Scorpion's Tail waterslide, where the floor you step on drops out from under your feet and you begin your fast-paced 102-foot (31.09 m) adventure at 80 miles per hour (128.75 km/h).
6. Waterslide "Free Fall Kamikaze" (Free Fall Kamikaze) (Algarve, Portugal)
Kamikaze Free Fall is a 104-foot (31.7 m) waterslide built in 2015 at Aquashow Water Park. You will get pleasure comparable to a ride on a winding roller coaster. A journey at a speed of 70 km/h with a length of almost 129 meters!
7. Leap of Faith Waterslide (Paradise Island Atlantis Resort, Bahamas)
If descending an extraordinarily high waterslide is a piece of cake for you, Leap of Faith might test your strength.
Located at the Atlantis Paradise Island resort in the Bahamas and surrounded by a real paradise, this waterslide will give you a colorful adventure on a 60-foot (18.29 m) slide.
An additional challenge is to slide into a pond with sharks swimming in it. Yes, that's right - sharks. But don't worry! You will stay safe because you will "dive" into this body of water on a covered slide.
8. Waterslides "Cliffhanger" and "Screaming Serpents" ("Cliffhanger" and "Screaming Serpents") (Galveston, Texas, USA)
Schlitterbahn Water Parks has two attractions for adrenaline junkies. Either you go to the Cliffhanger and enjoy the 81-foot (24.69 m) drop, or choose the Screaming Serpents for another spectacular immersive ride. In general, if the adrenaline rush is your thing, then it is better to ride both slides!
The ideal vacation is a concept that everyone understands in their own way. For some, an imposing pastime on the beach is optimal, while others get real pleasure from an active or even extreme vacation.
The heart beats faster, every second a huge portion of adrenaline is released into the blood, and in the meantime the brain seems to turn off, but the colorfulness of sensations does not decrease from this! Believe me, you will have enough impressions for many years if you dare to conquer the largest water slide in the world!
Summit Plummet
In a water park called Disney Blizzard Beach, which is located in Florida, there is one of the most extreme water slides - about 37 m in height. Despite the fact that the summer here is always sunny and quite hot, those wishing to descend from the Summit Plummet will find drifts of snow at the top and along the entire route, because of which this attraction looks rather unusual and looks more like a ski jump. But since the snow is artificial, the probability of freezing something for yourself is reduced to zero.
To climb the Summit Plummet you will not have to make any special efforts - there is a cable car for this. And if the climb is easy, then it is at the top of the water slide that you will have a very hard time. Why? Because you need to have nerves of steel to sit in a narrow gutter, let go of your hands and ... experience an incredible feeling when you are rapidly falling down at a speed of 100 km / h. Ready? Then Summit Plummet is waiting for you!
For more than 15 years, this slide has held the proud title of the highest water slide in the world. Its height is 41 m and it is located in the water park, which bears the name of Fortaleza Beach Park. And if you have planned your vacation in the Brazilian resort of Fortaleza, then you simply do not have the right to pass by its luxurious attraction, which is listed in the Guinness Book of Records.
Insano is a water slide that not everyone dares to slide down. Its descent is almost vertical, and in height it is equivalent to a 14-storey building. Anyone who dares to climb to the top of this Brazilian attraction will be able to find out what a bird's eye view is and fully enjoy the surrounding landscape.
But the view of the coast and the port city is not the main thing! You are at the top and now you should gather all your will into a fist and make a real flight down. Its duration does not exceed 7 seconds, but due to the huge speed, which is about 105 km / h, the sensations are incredible! During this short time you will experience amazing, incomparable feelings!
Verruckt
But the biggest dose of adrenaline awaits you in Kansas City, where the Verrückt water slide awaits all the madmen in a park called Schlitterbahn. Only real daredevils are able to agree to this adventure, since this slide is not only the highest in the world, but also one of the most extreme. By agreeing to this flight, you get several pleasures at once:
- fast travel on a water slide;
- an incredible track design that wags like rails on an American roller coaster;
- amazing turns that make you fall down and immediately soar up.
And all this happens at an incredible speed, which reaches 120 km / h. The highest section of the Verrückt water slide is 52 m. And when compared with well-known buildings, then, for example, the Statue of Liberty will be half a meter lower than this attraction. The same can be said about some other world attractions, such as the Tower and Niagara Falls - they are also inferior in height to this amazing water slide.
In order to reach the top of the Verrückt you will need to overcome 264 steps. At the top, risk-takers are already waiting for rubber rafts, each of which can accommodate 3 people. And then only a dizzying flight from the height of a 17-storey building and another 180 m of incredible extreme! At the same time, the first fall is not the only one - immediately after it, you will be lifted to a height of about 5 floors and carried further along a narrow and, as it seems to many, an endless chute.
Do you want to tickle your nerves? Then you are on the highest water slide in the world!
Its height was 41 meters.
Schlitterbahn Water Park was opened last year. The steepest slide, Verrückt, reaches 52 meters in height, which is half a meter higher than the Statue of Liberty. The spiral climb takes professional risk-takers to the very top, where they break into teams of 4, sit on rubber rafts and rush down at a speed of 120 km / h.
Let's take a closer look at it...
"Verrückt" in German means "crazy" - in fact, only a crazy extreme and thrill-seeker will dare to ride the highest and fastest water slide.
The water slide "Verrückt" is officially recognized by the Guinness Book of Records as the highest in the world: its height is 51.38 m

The Verrückt Meg-a-Blaster is a design triumph of insane proportions by Jeff Henry, co-owner and "evil genius" of Schlitterbahn Waterparks. Henry decided he wanted to build a record-breaking slide, which resulted in the creation of "Verrückt".
Photo 4. 
The Verrückt has 4 people descending in parallel and, as Henry remarked, "It's a lot more fun to have someone yelling next to your ear." It all starts with a frightening fall from a 17-story height and continues with a small rise. And this is more than 180 meters of wet extreme. After the initial drop, which is steeper than any ski run, you reach a second five-story climb with new water technology.

The massive tower around which you will ascend to dizzying heights is made from railroad tank cars cut and welded together. The builders reuse the material to build the "Verrückt". The attraction differs from the Kilimanjaro in that it will be a raft ride and the body will not touch the surface. Although, of course, a raft is not a very comfortable transport when you fly 50 sheer meters down.
Photo 6. 
Verrückt is taller than Niagara Falls, the Statue of Liberty (from sandals to torch) and the Tower of London. It will not only be the highest slide in the world, but also the steepest and fastest. Henry says that “Verrückt will change the industry. The biggest challenge will be to find extreme people who will dare to go down.” If you're brave enough, visit Kansas City and challenge yourself!
