It is as tall as a 14-story building, and you will have to fly at almost a 90-degree angle. Or rather, fall. For those who are not afraid of its height and climb to the top of the descent, a stunning view of the Atlantic Ocean opens up.
The descent will take very little time - up to six seconds. The driving speed is more than 100 km per hour. From a height of 41 meters you fell in five to six seconds.
Here you have the opportunity to look at your emotions when you come to your senses. Anyone can purchase a video of their unprecedented flight.
The Brazilians hold the lead. The largest slides in the water park exactly in this country. The most high slide the world "Kilimanjaro" is also located with them. She beat her predecessor by 9 meters. And its height is almost 50 m.
This wonder of the world is located near Rio de Janeiro in the Aquas Quentes Country Club water park. The descent angle is almost 60 degrees. A man rushes along it at a speed of 100 kilometers per hour. In just 5 seconds he will reach the finish line.
"Mammoth" in the USA
If the Americans did not take the height, then in length they have a clear superiority. The Holiday World and Splashin’ Safari water park is famous for its longest slides. There are two of them here. “Gnu” stretches for 520 meters, and “Mammoth” for 537 meters.
They are descended on inflatable boats. It will take you two and a half minutes to move out. Steep descents and ascents, unprecedented turns and several flights in closed spaces await you.
When “Mammoth” was opened, an inflatable boat was specially made for it, which could comfortably accommodate six people. You can ride with your family, but your children must be taller than 120 cm.
"Mammoth" is included in the Guinness Book of Records as the longest water attraction.
"AquaLoop" with a loop
The loop is famous for the “Wild Water World” (that’s how “AquaLoop” is translated), which is located in the Australian water world “Wet`n` Wild Water World”. Those who dare to descend will be wrapped in a loop not once, but four times.
The slide is transparent. At the very beginning of the flight, you stand in the capsule, and after two seconds you reach maximum speed. And after 7 seconds you already understand that all the horror is over.
Shark slide
This is incredibly scary! You fly down a slide and end up in a pool infested with sharks and stingrays. You can see them perfectly, just like they can see you. And only the transparent wall protects you, and, of course, your speed.
“Aquaventure” - this water attraction is called and it is located in United Arab Emirates. And the location of such an unusual descent itself is worth visiting here. The slide with sharks was located on the first artificial “Palm Island”.
“Leap of Faith,” as the name is translated, has an almost vertical descent and a length of 27 meters. The speed is developing quite well. So it is difficult for predators to reach a person flying past them. But still, fear will be with you until you “land” outside this aquarium.
There is a similar slide in Las Vegas. It was built at the Golden Nugget Hotel. It starts on the third floor and lands on the first. You will also rush past sharks that calmly swim very close by.
"Vanish rollercoaster"
In Japan in a fantasy park water world CosmoWorld built this slide. The length of this extreme is one km, and the descent takes only 2 minutes. The “train” with vacationers rushes along steep turns water attraction, and then dives sharply into the water.
It actually goes into a hole in the pool. When the “locomotive” approaches, a fountain turns on, which creates the illusion that everything is going under water. It turns off after the last person descending dives into the hole.
At the same time, people don’t even get wet. And from the outside everyone is sure that they have plunged headlong.
And other frightening, terrifying
In Spain, the King Hajuna coaster was built in honor of the Hawaiian legend. It is not that high - only 31 meters. A descent at an angle of 55 degrees will occur at a speed of almost 60 meters per second.
Just the name of the descent in Spain is scary. Devil's Fall is 29 meters high but has the steepest drop of any coaster in Europe. A little more than 60 degrees - so you have to fly down.
You will be invited to get into the mouth of a formidable piranha at the Xpirado water park. Here the length of the descent is 32 meters and the speed is about 90 km per hour. The ride ends with a fall into a hot spring.
Spain has the highest free fall slide. A hatch opens under the vacationer’s feet, and then you simply fly along a chute with water. Only 33 meters at a speed of 96 km per hour. If you are afraid of such a fall, then you will be offered a slightly lower price.
In Australia, the Wedgie is an engineering marvel. This is a closed pipe through which the visitor rushes at a speed of 3 meters per second. This is all in a turbulent stream of water. Lots of unexpected turns that will end with a quiet landing.
A man on a slide in Italy reaches speeds faster than a racing car. The height of “Stukas” is 30 meters. Approximately 10th floor of the building. Not all visitors, after going up, decide to descend.
A slide for miniatures is located in Switzerland. From the height of the seventh floor in a transparent tube you fly at a speed of about 80 km per hour.
