The new tallest water slide in the world. The scariest water slides The scariest water park in the world
On May 8, 1976, a real revolution took place in the world of roller coasters. The world's first steel loop coaster opened at Six Flags Magic Mountain in California. Nowadays, a loop is far from the worst thing that the creators of attractions are ready to offer to adrenaline junkies who line up in long lines around the world to tickle their nerves. We invite you to virtually ride the ten scariest roller coasters in the world!
Attention: for the faint of heart, those afraid of heights and people with a weak vestibular system, it is better not to look any further!

1. Silver Star, Europa Park, Rust (Baden), Germany
"Silver Star" - the highest roller coaster in Europe, has been tickling German nerves of steel since 2002. Using a system of chain lifts, they will first slowly lift you to a height of 73 meters, and then drop and circle at speeds of up to 130 km/h.
2. Tower of Terror II, Dreamworld, Queensland, Australia
The first Tower of Terror, opened in 1997, managed to scare more than 8 million Australians, and in 2010 it was launched again and became even scarier. Riders exit the tunnel and reach the top of the vertical tower in 7 seconds at a maximum speed of 161 km/h. At the top of a 35-meter tower, they hover for a moment, after which they fall down in horror.
3. Steel Dragon 2000, Nagashima Spa Land, Kuwana, Mie Prefecture, Japan
The Steel Dragon is no longer the fastest or tallest coaster, but it is still the longest. It is also the most expensive ever made due to the amount of steel used in its construction to make the coaster earthquake resistant. But, even if we don’t take earthquakes into account, this monster definitely deserves its place in our top ten.
4. Kingda Ka, Six Flags Great Adventure, New Jersey, USA
Kingda Ka is a long-timer in the world of roller coasters, but to this day remains the tallest coaster in the world with a dizzying record of 139 meters. However, the attraction has had many problems throughout its history. In 2005, the slide suffered a variety of mechanical damage, affecting the starting motor and rope system. Fortunately, all problems were completely corrected, but in 2009, Kingda Ka was struck by lightning, causing further damage. Now this is really scary...
5. Intimidator 305, Kings Dominion, Virginia, USA
A relative newcomer to the roller coaster world, Intimidator 305 (the name alone makes it scary...) won the 2010 Golden Ticket Award for best new roller coaster.
6. Dodonpa, Fuji-Q Highland, Fujiyoshida, Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan.
How can slides surprise thrill-seekers if they are no longer the fastest, highest or longest? Doponda knows the answer - the biggest acceleration! Having confused riders with a not-so-fast start, Doponda suddenly accelerates to 172 km/h in... attention... 1.8 seconds! And then it throws you up and down in an almost vertical loop.
7. Superman: Escape from Krypton, Six Flags Magic Mountain, California, USA
Until 2011, Superman: Escape from Krypton was known as simply Superman: Escape. But with a new coat of paint and the addition of backwards-moving carts, a new superhero of the amusement ride world was born. Speeding up to 160 km/h and rising to a height of 126.5 meters, the updated Superman knows exactly how to get your adrenaline pumping.
8. Thunder Dolphin, Tokyo Dome City, Tokyo, Japan
The Thunder Dolphin is quite modest in terms of speed, altitude and acceleration compared to other participants in the list, but it has its own unique “trick” that is why it ended up on it. The Dolphin's path passes through a concrete ring and also goes around a real building at a nerve-wracking distance.
9. Formula Rossa, Ferrari World, Abu Dhabi, UAE
Formula Rossa is currently the fastest roller coaster in the world. Accelerates to 240 km/h in less than 5 seconds. The speed is so high that those sitting in the front row have to wear special safety glasses to avoid damaging their eyes.
Another ride from the same park, but it's worth it. These slides are “with a twist”, and in the most literal sense of the word. Eejanaika is a so-called 4D coaster, which actually means that in addition to the usual ups, downs and loops, you also get... 360 degree rotating seats! Could the attractions get any scarier?
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. The huge, 40-meter slope (about the height of a 12-story 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 rides to have fun with friends. You are given a four-seater raft that will take you down two inclined slides and three circulating pipes.
3.Insano
Beach Park, Porto das Dunas – Fortaleza, Brazil
Insano is the tallest slide in the world with 14 floors! On this descent you reach speeds of 100 km/h. Since you are basically 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 between this slide is that during the descent you are immersed in a pool with sharks. We can only hope that the sharks will not break through the translucent tunnel :)
5. The Wildebeest
Holiday World & Splashin’ Safari, Santa Claus – Indiana, USA
Wildebeest is the second longest coaster in the world. You and three friends ride a special elevator boat to the top of the slide, and only then go into the tunnel.
6. Scorpion's Tail
Noah's Ark Water Park, Wisconsin Dells - Wisconsin, USA
This 130-meter water slide has one breathtaking drop where you plummet at a speed of 15 m/s. "Scorpio's Tail" is a slide for true adrenaline junkies.
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 dive straight into the warm Mediterranean Sea.
8. L2
Wave Water Adventure World – Wörgel, Austria
This double loop slide will give you great speed and 14 meters of free fall.
9. Epic Plunge
Norwegian Epic Water Park – Norwegian Epic, Norwegian cruise ship
This is the only water slide on the ship with three tunnels, a funnel and a thrilling drop through a 200-meter section of pipe.
10. Brain Wash
Wet ‘n Wild Orlando, Orlando – Florida, USA
A stunning slide for company. First, you rise to the height of a 6-story building, then you slide down from a 17-meter height and find yourself in a 20-meter huge crater. This is an incredible feeling!
11. Aqualoop
Terme 3000 Water Park – Slovenia
This park is located in the thermal springs area of Slovenia. Aqualoop is a 360-degree loop ride that takes you 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 the Speedy is by far the fastest, so it's great fun in tandem.
13. The Cyclone
World Waterpark, West Edmonton Mall – Edmonton, Canada
Since temperatures in Canada can drop to -40 degrees, Canadians prefer indoor water parks, but that doesn't make them any less interesting. The Cyclone slide offers you a ride from a 17-meter height at speeds of up to 60 km/h.
14. Summit Tower
Calypso Park, Limoges – Ontario, Canada
Tallest water slide in North America. This is a great place for speed lovers.
15. Behemoth Bowl
Chimelong Water Park, Guangzhou – Guangdong, China
Located in the largest water park in the world, Behemoth Bowl invites you to slide 80 meters down a transparent tube before falling into a huge funnel.

It’s summer, it’s hot, you really want to relax, soak in the warm, gentle water, enjoy your summer vacation and just relax. Residents of cities, and especially megacities, rarely go to the sea or river on their day off, so there remains one more simple and accessible option - a water park. A cozy pool, special slides, relaxation for the little ones and extreme entertainment for adults - who would refuse such a cool pleasure in the sweltering heat?
Modern water parks are creating increasingly dangerous entertainment for those who like to tickle their nerves, but even among this exciting and frightening variety, certain options can be distinguished. Few people will be able to overcome their fear when going down these slides, because this is really for those who want to get a sea of emotions, an ocean of pleasure and pamper themselves with a tsunami of adrenaline. But they are rightfully called the most terrible water parks in the world, and now you will find out why. You might want to visit one of these exciting places and enjoy the list of all the services offered.
Fifth place "Jump up"
The Atlantis water park is located in the Bahamas and is famous for one interesting water slide. It can be compared to jumping without a parachute directly into the mouth of sharks. And the most amazing thing is that this is practically true. The descent initially does not foretell trouble, but the moment you enter the water you find yourself in a glass pipe that goes straight into the pool with sharks. Not only is there more than five meters of water above your head, but these beautiful and dangerous predators are circling around the glass pipe. The adrenaline level after such entertainment should skyrocket. However, the queue for the slide is not decreasing, but rather becoming even more popular.
Fourth place "Scorpion's Tail"
The Noah's Ark water park offers no less exciting and interesting entertainment for those who want to tickle their nerves a little. This wonderful place is located in America, it is notable for its sharp vertical cliff, and it is simply impossible to predict it and prepare mentally. You, along with the frantic pressure of the water, will simply rush down at a stunning speed, and then the dizzying current will simply carry you around in a circle, taking your breath away with delight and fear. Well, for a snack, you fly out of this pipe with great speed in a dizzying turn, and the pool takes your mortal body into its hospitable embrace.
Third place "Wildebeest"
This wonderful water park is among the top scariest water parks in the world, thanks to its dizzying roller coasters. Surprised? Engineering thought came up with such a miracle when water slides turned into roller coasters. And you can ride on them, too, with whole groups, and when a stream of seething water carries you through dizzying turns, descents and ascents, it is quite difficult to maintain composure and keep your emotions inside. Such entertainment will tickle your nerves no worse than a real roller coaster, and perhaps even more so.
Second place "King Cobra"
Surprised by the unusual name? The slide also looks completely unusual; riding it is like kissing a king cobra. The entire slide is made in the shape of a snake, and you can ride it on small inflatable rafts. Just a couple of dizzying turns of the pipe and you fly straight onto the cobra’s hood, where it’s not so easy to stay on. If you push harder at the start, you might even be able to pull the cobra's fangs, because it's so exciting.
First place "Madness"
And crowning the top of our list is the scariest water park in the world, or rather the scariest slide in the world - “Beach Park”, and it is considered the highest slide in the world, it goes down almost vertically and riding it is real Brazilian madness. Only the most courageous brave souls can afford to slide down, and the descent will only take about 5 seconds. You will fly through this slide at a speed of over one hundred kilometers per hour. Just imagine this figure and realize that this is more than the permissible speed limit for a car in the city. The experience is truly breathtaking, adding vibrant colors and lifelong memories. The main thing is not to go crazy from such an adrenaline rush! Just a joke, of course. But it’s really worth visiting this place and enjoying the madness on offer.
There are different water parks with their own features, extreme slides, incredible offers and other tricks to lure more visitors. Today you learned about the most famous and outstanding slides and water parks, where you can relax and gain a supply of new impressions for the whole year ahead.

No. 7. Summit plummet - Orlando, USA

No. 2. Verruckt - Kansas City, USA
Today, the tallest and longest water slide in the world is Verruckt.
Verruckt opened at the Schlitterbahn water park in Kansas City. You can go down the Verruckt only on a special inflatable boat designed for three passengers. And for the safety of people who find themselves on this attraction, the water slide along its entire length is closed at the top with a net so that highly accelerated adrenaline junkies do not fly out of it.
To get to the launch pad of this water slide, visitors to Verruckt must climb a staircase of 264 steps. The height of the structure is 51 meters, and the length of its pipe is about 100 m.

Summary of previous episodes:
An ideal vacation is a concept that everyone understands in their own way. For some, relaxing time on the beach is optimal, while others get real pleasure from an active or even extreme vacation.
The heart beats faster, with every second a huge portion of adrenaline is released into the blood, and meanwhile the brain seems to turn off, but the colorfulness of the 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 who want to go down from Summit Plummet will find snowdrifts at the top and along the entire route, which makes this attraction look rather unusual and more like a ski jump. But since the snow is artificial, the likelihood of frostbite is reduced to zero.
To climb Summit Plummet you don’t 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 chute, let go of your hands and... experience the incredible feeling of 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 bore the proud title of the highest water slide in the whole world. Its height is 41 m and it is located in the water park, which is named Fortaleza Beach Park. And if you have planned your holiday in the Brazilian resort of Fortaleza, then you simply have no 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 its height is equivalent to a 14-story building. Anyone who dares to climb to the top of this Brazilian attraction will be able to learn 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 enormous speed, which is about 105 km/h, the sensation is incredible! In this short time you will experience amazing, incomparable feelings!
Verrückt
But the biggest dose of adrenaline awaits you in Kansas City, where the Verrückt water slide awaits all crazy people 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:
- a fast ride on a water slide;
- an incredibly designed track that twists and turns like rails on a roller coaster;
- amazing turns that make you fall down and immediately soar up.
And all this happens at incredible speeds that reach 120 km/h. The highest section of the Verrückt water slide is 52 m. And if compared with famous 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 descent.
To reach the top of the Verrückt slide you will need to climb 264 steps. At the top, risk-seekers will find rubber rafts, each of which can accommodate 3 people. And then only a dizzying flight from the height of a 17-story building and another 180 m of incredible extreme sports! Moreover, 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, endless chute.
Do you want to tickle your nerves? Then you're on to the tallest water slide in the world!
