Where are they located and what are they? scary roller coaster In aquapark? They are truly amazing and unusual. Some of them are listed in the Guinness Book of Records.
For example, Insano, which is located in Brazil. This outlandish water entertainment is located near the city of Fortaleza in the Fortaleza Beach Park water park, which stretches over 180 thousand square meters.
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. They also have the highest slide 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 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.

"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.

"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.

Each vacationer has his own idea water activities. For some, just splashing around in a pool of clean water is enough. Well, there are also extreme sports enthusiasts who absolutely need the highest water slide in the world to be completely happy. Every year there are more and more such entertainments in the world and the roller coasters are getting higher. The bulk of such entertainment is located overseas, but in Europe there are several attractions that can easily be classified as the highest water slides.
Spain, VertiGo attraction
In 2013, the tallest capsule slide opened in Benidorm, Spain. The height of this slide is 33 meters, but there is also a lower one nearby - for those who are afraid to immediately climb to such a height. The first daredevils who dared to try such entertainment were simply breathtaking from the sensations. Some shouted, others crossed themselves, others simply closed their eyes so as not to see everything that was happening. This is not surprising, because the speed at which a person rushes down a special capsule is about 100 km/h.
On the opening day of the slide, there was a crowd in the pool a large number of people who wanted to see the faces of those who dared such an adventure. Inside the capsule, under the person’s feet, there is a special hatch that opens upon a signal from the attraction worker. An instant - and the extreme sportsman is already flying down, and the speed of the fall is constantly increasing. Before tourists were allowed on the slide, it was tested by rescuers working in this water park.
UAE, Dubai, Jumeirah Sceirah
The Middle East also did not want to lag behind, and a capsule water slide was built in the Emirates, which is in no way inferior to the Spanish attraction. After the vacationer climbs to a height of 33 meters, he will have to rapidly descend along a plastic chute at great speed. After the initial acceleration, it seems to the tourist that everything will go smoothly, but somewhere in the middle of the journey he suddenly falls down, almost in free fall. This section of the slide is the most attractive for thrill-seekers.
During the entire period of operation of this attraction, no accidents were recorded on this slide (except, of course, for the loss of some swimwear on the way down).
Brazil, Fortaleza, Insano water slide
This attraction is not only the tallest water slide in the world, but also a Guinness Book of Records record holder. It is located in the Beach Park water park, near the Brazilian city of Fortaleza. Its name Insano means crazy, and one cannot but agree with this. The height of this slide is equal to the height of a 14-story building (41 meters). Not only is it very high, but the descent along it is almost vertical, which adds even more extreme excitement to tourists. During the 5 seconds that the descent lasts, a person reaches a speed of up to 105 km/h, and this is the speed of a speeding car.
After a successful descent, the vacationer has the opportunity to watch a video of his adventure, and even take the recording with him as a souvenir. Such footage can be watched over and over again. True, access to such entertainment is not available to everyone. Pregnant women, children whose height has not reached 140 cm and people with cardiovascular disorders are strictly prohibited from entering the attraction.
Brazil, Rio de Janeiro, Mount Kilimanjaro
This water slide fully lives up to its name (Kilimanjaro is the most high mountain Africa). Anyone who wants to ride from such a mountain is asked to cover 50 meters in 5 seconds. The maximum speed achieved during the descent is about 90 km/h. The attraction's employees keep their own statistics and claim that one in twenty visitors does not dare to overcome this path and goes back down. Not everyone has the courage to dare such a risky act.
United States, Kansas City, Verruckt
The tallest water slide in the world recently opened in the USA at the Schlitterbahn water park. The height of this attraction is almost 52 meters. She surpassed in height and Niagara Falls, and the Statue of Liberty, although there are not so many desperate daredevils ready to descend from such a height.
A spiral climb consisting of 264 steps leads to the very top of the slide, where those wishing to ride are seated in four-person rubber rafts and tightly tied to them. During the first tests of this attraction, engineers were unable to ensure that the sandbags (they were tested on) did not come off the slide and did not rise into the air. For greater safety, the chute itself along which the descent takes place is fenced with a mesh. This is really necessary, because the speed at which the daredevil descends is approximately 120 km/h.
On this moment The world's tallest water slide is closed. Unfortunately, a child recently died on this attraction. Full details of this incident are not yet fully known, but there are rumors that he was thrown from the front seat and broke his neck on the upper guard of the chute. Official version not yet, but the mere fact that a 10-year-old teenager was allowed onto this attraction is already a matter of jurisdiction. The fact is that entry to this slide is allowed only from 14 years of age.
It is still unknown whether this water slide will open again or not, but this incident will cool some hotheads of some extreme sports enthusiasts a little. After all, for a good rest it is not at all necessary to climb to such a height and risk your life.
At the water park, even adults pay attention to the large slides. This fun is not just for little people. After all, people have built real monsters for their own amusement 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 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 breathtaking descent. 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 trench, twisted in the form of a spiral. The most desperate ones can decide to slide down a special 30-meter slope on a special board that resembles a snowboard. Only at the end of the route does a surprise await the extreme sports enthusiast in the form of a springboard.
Divertical, Mirabilandia, Ravenna, Italy. An interesting hybrid of aquatic and roller coaster. Construction of the slide was completed in 2012 and cost $26 million. A dozen people climb up on a 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 carriage begins to rapidly rush down the rails along a bizarrely curved path. As a result, amid the screams of excited people, the transport flies into the pools. A sea of spray immediately rises up, falling on the passengers. The dive occurs at an angle of 45 degrees at a speed of 65 km/h.
Toboggan, Città del Mare Hotel Village, Palermo, Italy. IN picturesque place The islands of Sicily have 11 steep descents into the water. It’s interesting that not all paths end in a pool; some throw people straight into the Mediterranean Sea. Only at such a high speed you will not be able to admire the sea views of the Gulf of Castellammare, but you can do this later, relaxing on a sun lounger near the pool.
The Leap of Faith, Aquaventure, Dubai, UAE. This huge water park is located on the “small palm” island in Dubai. In this entertainment center you can swim with dolphins, ride on an inflatable torus along the lazy river, and then just lie on the excellent sandy beach. But many people come here because of the ziggurat. Having climbed this tower, you are invited to choose your entertainment according to your level of courage. You can ride through a transparent underwater tunnel that runs right among the kingdom of sharks swimming here, or you can take 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 to visitors at this time. But the unfortunate creature could not tolerate chlorinated water and died.
RideHouse, Happy Magic Water Cube Waterpark, Beijing, China. The Chinese managed to radically modify the ordinary 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, water cannons, jellyfish, nets... Visitors will not be bored - you can ride down 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 combines 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 out into a large bowl and, after circling in it, falls into the drainage hole in the middle. And only then do people enter the pool through the chute. At the same time, the system for accurately passing the raft along the path specified by the engineers even received a patent, which guarantees safety.
Insano, Beach Park, Aquiraz, Brazil. Even though this 40-meter slide is not the highest in the world, people here at the Brazilian resort can fly almost perpendicular to the ground for about 5 seconds. Insano is a fairly simple design - it's a single slope, it's just quite steep. The moments of traveling along a sheer chute from the height of a 14-story building will certainly be remembered for a lifetime. After all, for a short time a person will accelerate to a speed of 100 km/h, and you can understand what exactly happened once 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 the hot summer. But the first thing that catches your eye in this amusement park is the 30-meter high snow-covered mountain. At its top there 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 scenic hill from Disney Park is the most photographed man-made mountain in the world.
King Cobra, Six Flags Hurricane Harbor, Jackson, USA. It is no coincidence that the name of the king cobra was given to this hill. It is the longest snake on the planet. Inside the 78-meter slide, painted with red, black and orange stripes, you can accelerate down 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 become a sensation. Today this water slide is one of the scariest in the world.
AquaDuck, cruise ships Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy. The creators of these cruise ships tried to create real water parks on them. That is why the AquaDuck attraction turned out to be unique, and it is also worth considering its size. While the ship plows the oceans, any passenger can pass the time by traveling on a two-person inflatable raft along a transparent acrylic tube. The start is from the stern on the 12th deck, then the route runs directly over the side of the ship at an altitude 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 thrills throughout all year round. However, adrenaline junkies choose the one located under open air Wild Vortex slide. Its height is 20 meters, and it opened in June 2012. The entire ride only lasts 7 seconds, but don't underestimate this attraction. Sharp vertical climbs and loops make the game feel gravity, and riders experience up to 2.5 G's. In addition, the slide promises a surprise - at the start, the hatch under the person suddenly opens and the first 12 meters of the path pass in a state of free fall.
Cliffanger, Schlitterbahn, Galveston, USA. This amusement park opened in 2007. The “climber” mountain became the highest of all four such American institutions. Here, too, the beginning of the path begins with an almost sheer drop down. People fly into the water at speeds of 35 miles per hour after just 25 meters of travel. It should be noted that this slide is open, so extreme sports enthusiasts can see how quickly the world around them flashes before their eyes.
Mammoth, Holiday World and Splashin’ Safari, Santa Claus, USA. This water slide cost $5.5 million. For its operation, a special asynchronous linear motor is used. From the 7-story-high “Mammoth” slide, the water park itself began to expand. The raft trip itself through a large pipe will cover an area of 1.2 hectares, which is a record. 6 passengers rush along a 3.5 meter wide chute. The width of the raft is about 2.5 meters. It constantly rotates through the water, so any crew member can end up facing anywhere. The path passes through several dark tunnels. The height of the slide is 21 meters, and the total length of the path is 1763 meters. The total travel time is about 3 minutes.
