Summary of previous episodes:

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 strange thing was located water fun near the city of Fortaleza in the Fortaleza Beach Park water park, which spreads 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 most big slides In aquapark 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.

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” is the name of this water attraction and it is located in the United Arab Emirates. And the very location of such an unusual descent is worth visiting here. The slide with sharks was located on the first artificial “Palm Island”.

“Leap of Faith,” as the name translates, 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 the steep turns of the water attraction, and then abruptly dives 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 of Hajuna slide was built in honor of 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. Only fat people are not allowed here. “Booster Loop” is a circular slide that will raise your adrenaline, provided that your weight is no more than 50 kg. Those who weigh more are not allowed to enter.

If you've seen the horror film Final Destination 3, you may have developed a bias against roller coasters. Do you think water slides are a great alternative? There are no heavy moving mechanical parts, no sharp turns and - most importantly - no electrical current. Alas, we have to disappoint you! In water parks, this is the attraction that causes the most harm. You can “splash down” unsuccessfully. You can get stuck and wait in the dark for someone to pull you out. You can damage body parts and... even be decapitated. Don't believe me? Here are the most dangerous water slides in the world.

Unreliable rafts

The Shoot The Rapids slide is located at the Cedar Point amusement park in Ohio, near Lake Erie. Visitors descend on a raft that can accommodate up to ten people at a time. The park was the site of one of the worst incidents in water slide history. The empty raft was being pulled back to the top of the hill, but it broke loose and rushed down the hill and capsized another raft. Ten visitors (including children) fell into the water, and a woman suffered a serious head injury. If help had not arrived in time, they would have drowned.

Rapist Ambush

Administration of the Arriba Water Park in German city Norderstedt recently took steps to keep her guests safe after a scary incident on a waterslide. On March 4, 2015, two girls (14 and 18 years old) were caught by Afghan rapists, 14 and 34 years old, who were waiting for their victims “at the finish line,” in the pool. The security team detained the criminals, but the girls managed to be raped. Now the perpetrators are behind bars, and the park has separate attractions for men and women. Security guards monitor visitors under the guise of ordinary swimmers.

Fall into a black hole

One of the most dangerous water slides is the infamous "The Black Hole" at Wet N'Wild Water Park in Orlando. The park was repeatedly sued in connection with the emergency on this slide. In 2000, a man sued the park for $1.73 million after suffering serious injuries - while he was descending, he was rammed by some unknown object, the poor fellow was thrown out of the lower part of the “Hole” and could not move his legs. The spine was damaged and the victim needed metal plates implanted in his neck. There were other unpleasant incidents: people hit the bottom, each other, and were injured. The descent takes 23 seconds, but the staff sends the next visitor every 20 seconds, which sometimes leads to “accidents”.

Brazilian "hippopotamus"

Beach Park in Brazil is famous for its water slide "Slide Insano Water" - this is one of the the highest attractions of this kind (41 meters - like a 14-story building). Those descending this slide reached speeds of up to 105 km per hour, and the descent was so steep that the body barely touched the surface. In this situation, it is very important to take the correct position so as not to injure yourself: you need to cross both your arms over your chest and your ankles. The whole “trip” takes 4-5 seconds, imagine how much adrenaline is released into the blood – not everyone can handle it. Staff often laugh at the people emerging from the bottom of this behemoth, with some visitors breaking down in tears of fear and shock.

Set for a horror movie

IN spanish city Benidorm has an attraction that could easily become the setting for a horror film - once its water was stained with scarlet blood due to a terrible emergency. We're talking about the 33-meter-tall VertiGo water slide. Imagine standing in a capsule at the top, and then a hatch opens underneath you and you are pulled down. What happened? A British tourist entered the capsule, but the hatch did not open completely and the man fell through a small gap, severely injuring his face and cutting his legs. The pool at the bottom filled with his blood, but within ten minutes the slide was working again.

The only indoor attraction

The Sahara Sidewinders Ride is another one of the most dangerous water slides in the world. It is located at the Kalahari resort in the American city of Wisconsin Dells. The coaster is billed as the only indoor ride of its type and the first of its kind in America. However, it seems that something has not been thought through in the new technology, since problems sometimes arise here. In 2011, the resort was sued after a teenager was injured on a slide. The trial was won: the victim's lawyers proved that the resort administration knew about the danger, but did not take the necessary measures (there were also complaints before, but they did not reach the court).

When the number of injuries goes through the roof

Cannonball Falls is part of the infamous Action Park in New Jersey, made famous by the largest number injuries in the country. In one season alone, six visitors were injured, with five of them suffering shoulder injuries. The company that owns the park was very reluctant to pay for the treatment of all the victims. A decision was made to close the attraction in September 2015.

Deadly madness

One of the latest horrific tragedies occurred on the Verruckt water slide at the Kansas City water park. This is the highest slide in the world (more than 51 meters). In August 2016, a 10-year-old boy, Caleb, was thrown from a raft and beheaded. This terrible incident is still being investigated. Witnesses claim that they heard an explosion, a scream, and blood began to come out of the bottom of the slide. Caleb was very thin, and many say he should not have been allowed to go down. The name of the slide is translated from German as “crazy.” The crazy ride was closed after the incident - most likely permanently.

Another very dangerous water slide, Speed ​​Slide, is located in the famous Knoebels Water Park in Pennsylvania. At one time, the attraction was often featured in local news due to the large number of injuries - girls especially suffered. Two of them (visitors aged 11 and 12) had damaged genitals. The speed of descent is so great that the force and pressure of the water simply tore their insides apart.

Closed after a month

One of the most ridiculous and unsafe water slides was the property of the already mentioned New Jersey “Action Park”. This monster was called "Cannonball Loop". It seems that it was designed without any concern for the potential risks of visitors. And those who dared to take a “trip” on this slide could either be those who were absolutely “crazy” or those who decided to commit suicide. The attraction had the shortest lifespan, closing within a month of opening. And thank God - at least no one managed to die on this monster.

Every year on June 21st the summer solstice occurs. This is the longest day in the entire 12 months. Some will spend it in an apartment with the air conditioning on. Others are in the backyard of the house, cooking something on the grill. But perhaps best place to spend this day there is a water park. Going on regular attractions is too banal. To make your visit memorable for a lifetime, it’s worth going to those places where there are the scariest and craziest water slides in the world. Below we will talk about seven such attractions that are located around the world, from the United States to the United Arab Emirates. A ride on any of these water slides is guaranteed to be an experience you'll never forget for the rest of your life.

"Insano" (Brazil)

Located 55 miles south of Fortaleza along the northeast coast of Brazil. This is where the Insano slide attracts “adrenaline junkies.” Its height reaches 140 feet, which is approximately equal to the height of a 14-story building. On this moment it is the highest in the world and is included in the Guinness Book of Records. When descending, you can accelerate to an incredible 100 kilometers per hour. Since most of the time the person is in free fall, the trip lasts only 4-5 seconds.

"Brainwash" (Florida)

Orlando is famous not only for the Disney vacation center, but also for this water slide. From two to four people can slide down it. The 55-foot vertical drop features audio and video effects.

"Aqualup" (Slovenia)

This ride has a 360-degree loop that allows you to reach speeds of up to 60 kilometers per hour. The slide is located on the territory of thermal springs, so you can enjoy beautiful views during the descent.

"Fizer" (Germany)

Located in the city of Erding near Munich. On this slide you can accelerate to 70 kilometers per hour.

Summit Plummet (Florida)

Located at Disney's Blizzard Beach water park. The 36-meter slope will allow extreme sports enthusiasts to test their strength. Well, the height of a 12-story building will allow you to slide down the slide at a speed of 90 kilometers per hour.

"Scorpion's Tail" (Wisconsin)

Located right in the center of the state, 55 miles north of Madison. The height of the slide is approximately the same as that of a ten-story building. The length of the descent is 122 meters, but the maximum acceleration speed is small - only 15 kilometers per hour.

"Leap of Faith" (Bahamas)

The slide is a copy of a Mayan temple. The main highlight of this attraction is that its pipe passes through a pool with swimming sharks. So, when descending through an 18-meter tunnel, you can only rely on the strength of its walls.

Water attractions are leisure, salvation from the summer heat and a good mood. We have collected in this review the most extreme water slides, which also guarantee a solid dose of adrenaline. Such entertainment is suitable only for the most daring extreme sports enthusiasts.

Snake River Falls is the oldest slide.

In 1870, the Cedar Point amusement park opened on the shores of Lake Erie in the US state of Ohio. The main attraction of the park is the water slide Snake River Falls, along which you slide down from a height of 25 meters at a speed of 65 km/h.

Perilous Plunge - Risky move

Knott's Berry Farm in California is one of the 13 most visited theme parks in North America. One of its 40 attractions is Perilous Plunge(Risky Pitch) - a boat with a capacity of 24 people, which falls from a height of 37 meters at an angle of 77.8 degrees. The boat's falling speed is 85 km/h.

The tallest water slide in the world is located in Kansas City at the Schlitterbahn water park. Verruckt translated from German - “mad”. Daredevils slide down a 52-meter-high slide at a speed of 80 km/h.

Summit Plummet: at the speed of the car in fifth place

Summit Plummet is a 36.5-meter water slide, from which you can go down in a stream of water without a boat, right at your fifth point, at a speed of 90 km/h. This slide is located at Disney's Blizzard Beach water park in Lake Buena Vista, Florida.

Isano - slide from the Guinness Book of Records

The 41-meter Insano water slide at the Beach Park water park in Brazil was included in the Guinness Book of Records. A slide as tall as a 14-story building rises above the trees and for the most part buildings in the surrounding area. Few people would dare to fly down an almost vertical hill at a speed of 105 km/h in 5 seconds.

Kilimanjaro - almost a mountain peak

Kilimanjaro, as is known, is the name of the high mountain in Africa. This is also the name of a 50-meter water slide in the Brazilian city of Rio de Janeiro, from which water extreme sports enthusiasts fly off in 5 seconds at a speed of 91 km/h. Moreover, the tube of the slide is extended further along the hillside. Kilimanjaro is so high that every twentieth person who climbs to the top refuses to slide down.

Spacemaker: 100 km/h on a rubber raft

In Venice, Italy, the Aqualandia water park houses the Spacemaker water slide. On it you can ride a 4-seater raft with your friends down from a height of 40 meters at a speed of 100 km/h. Moreover, most of the route is built at an angle of 60 degrees. Spacemaker is one of 20 water slides you can ride at Aqualandia.

Jumeirah Sceirah: an incredible fall down

Dubai has the most high building in the world, so it is not at all surprising that Dubai is home to one of the tallest water slides in the world. Jumeirah Sceirah is the pride of the Wild Wadi Water Park. This water slide has recently been renovated and is now even faster and more extreme. Two people simultaneously suddenly fall into a hatch that opens under their feet and fly through a 120 m long pipe at a speed of 80 km/h.

King Khajuna

The star attraction of the Spanish water park Port Aventura’s Aquatic Park is King Khajuna. This water slide was named after a character from an ancient Hawaiian legend. The height of the "King Hajun" is 31 meters, and anyone can ride along the chute, built at an angle of 55 degrees, at a speed of 6 meters per second.

The Devil's Drop - The Fall of the Devil

"Devil's Fall" is a rather scary name for the 29-meter water slide, which is located at the Aquarama water park in Castellon, Spain. Devil's Drop boasts the steepest water chute in Europe - a whopping 62 degrees.

Xpirado scary slide

The water slide at Xpirado Water Park is one of the more unique rides on this list due to its stylization of a menacing piranha. Having flown 32 meters at a speed of 87 km/h, the daredevil ends up in a hot spring.

VertiGO is the highest slide.

VertiGO opened on August 1, 2013 at Aqualandia Park in Benidorm, Spain. It holds the title of the water slide with the highest free fall height in Europe. Visitors climb to the top of the slide, where a hatch opens under their feet. The height of the fall along the water chute is 33 meters, and at the end the person reaches a speed of 96.5 km/h. At the same time, there is another descent, lower, if the visitor does not dare to climb to the very top of VertiGO.

The Wedgie - the sharpest turns.

The Wedgie slide at White Water World in Coomera, Australia is an engineering marvel created by ProSlide. In 6 seconds, a person travels 18 meters in a stream of water in a closed pipe, i.e. he descends at a speed of 3 meters per second. At the same time, the slide is notable for its sudden turns. Gradually, the speed of descent decreases towards the end of the pipe.

Stukas

A water park called Caneva was built near Verona, Italy. It is notable for its ride called Stukas, a 30-meter water slide in which a person goes from 0 to 100 km/h in less than 3 seconds, faster than any Ferrari in the world. It's so fast that 40 percent of people refuse to ride the slide after reaching the top ten-story landing. Stukas has a reputation as the scariest waterslide in Italy.

Booster Loop: in a transparent pipe 7 floors high

Booster Loop is one of the fastest circular water slides in the world, which is located in the Water Park near Lake Geneva in Switzerland. In Booster Loop, people roll from a height of 7 floors in a transparent tube at a speed of 80 km/h. There is a mandatory condition for visitors - they must weigh at least 50 kg.

In one of the previous reviews we talked about.
