Incredible facts

At the Schlitterbahn water park in Kansas, USA, there is a water slide called Verruckt (meaning "crazy, crazy" in German).

4 people can go down the raft at once and they will go down at a speed of approximately 104 km/h.

The highest slide

This design claims to be the tallest roller coaster in the world.

On this moment The exact height of the water slide has not been disclosed since the official opening is set for May 23, 2014, but it is known that the slide will be approximately the height of a 17-story building.

It is worth noting that so far the tallest slide in the world, included in the Guinness Book of Records, is the Insano slide in the Brazilian amusement park Beach Park in Fortaleza.

While the coaster 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 that causes dizziness. The height of the slide is 41 meters, which is slightly higher than a 14-story building.

Despite the fact that the fun lasts only 4-5 seconds, few can resist accelerating to speeds of over 100 km/h.

Large water slides: Summit Plummet

Visitors to the Blizzard Beach Water Park, located at Walt Disney World, can't help but miss the 110-meter-long slide, which can ride at a speed of 95 km/h.

Biggest water slide: The Mammoth

Located in Indiana's Splashin' Safari Water Park, this hydromagnetic attraction has 7 descents (the highest is 21 meters high).

Those wishing to ride are located in the round vehicle, which 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 this slide think twice before riding it again. It is located in the Austrian water park "Wave die Worgler Wasserwelt" and boasts of being the first double loop water slide.

First you need to stand in a certain box, from where they lower you down, and you “fall” about 14 meters before the crazy turns begin.

Water slides: Cliffhanger

This slide from Schlitterbahn Park, Galveston, Texas, rises 25 meters.

It provides people with easy ups and downs. 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's Tail" can be found at Noah's Ark Family Park, Wisconsin. The height of this slide is approximately the height of 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 loop of the slide. Among other things, you can perfectly see everything that is happening outside, because... The slide is made of transparent fiberglass.

Height and speed are what attract us to roller coasters. Every year, amusement parks try to outdo each other in the category of "fastest" or "highest" coaster. Here you will find ten of the best roller coasters on the planet.

10. Intimidator 305

Located at Kings Dominion Amusement Park in Virginia, the Intimidator 305 roller coaster was built in memory of NASCAR driver Dale Earnhardt. Everyone here can reach speeds of up to 145 km/h. Initially, this figure was 152 km/h, but it was decided to slow down the slides due to high overloads.

9. Leviathan


Designed by Swiss companies Bolliger and Mabillard, this roller coaster is located near Toronto. Here you can accelerate to 148 km/h. Despite the incredible speed, the booths have a smooth ride, which attracts visitors from all points globe.

8. Millennium Force


The world's first coaster structure to exceed the 90-meter height threshold was built in 2000 in Cedar Point, Ohio. Here everyone can reach speeds of up to 149 km/h, overcoming a 100-meter rise. Despite the fact that 14 years have passed since its construction, this attraction firmly holds its height record.

7. Steel Dragon 2000


Japanese amusement park Nagashima Spa Land became the owner of the fastest roller coaster in the world when the Steel Dragon 2000 attraction opened in 2000. Here you can accelerate to a speed of 152 km/h, for this you will need as many as two steel cables that can lift the cabins to the top of a steep mountain.

6. Ring Racer


Located at the Nürburgring in Germany, the Ring Racer first opened its doors to the public in 2009. The unique compressed air supply system is capable of accelerating the cabins to a speed of 217 km/h, but for the safety of visitors, the threshold was lowered to 159 km/h. The slides are designed in such a way that the route runs almost parallel to the race track, offering visitors the opportunity to feel like real racers.

5. Superman: Escape from Krypton and the Tower of Terror


In fact, two attractions are in 5th place: Superman at Six Flags Magic Mountain amusement park in California and Tower of Terror at Dreamworld, Australia. Both attractions can reach speeds of up to 160 km/h. Visitors reach this speed twice during the trip, first when starting and then when descending the mountain.

4. Dodonpa


This attraction is located at Fuji-Q Hill in Japan and is capable of reaching speeds of up to 172 km/h. Although the process only takes about a minute, this coaster is a paradise for adrenaline junkies.

3. Top Thrill Dragster


Top Thrill Dragster opened in 2003 in Cedar Point, Ohio. The hydraulic mechanism can accelerate you to a speed of 193 km/h in just a couple of seconds. For ten years now, this ride has been considered the most popular in Ohio, although the ride itself takes only 17 seconds.

Its height was 41 meters.

Schlitterbahn Water Park opened last year. The steepest slide, Verrückt, reaches 52 meters in height, which is a full half meter higher than the Statue of Liberty. The spiral climb takes professional risk-takers to the very top, where they are divided into teams of 4, seated on rubber rafts and rushed down at a speed of 120 km/h.

Let's take a closer look at it...

"Verrückt" translated from German means "crazy" - in fact, only crazy extreme sports and thrill-seekers would dare to ride the highest and fastest water slide.

The Verrückt water slide is officially recognized by the Guinness Book of Records as the tallest in the world: its height is 51.38 m

The Verrückt Meg-a-Blaster is a design triumph of insane proportions from 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.

“Verrückt” takes four people down in parallel, and as Henry noted, “It’s a lot more fun when someone is screaming next to your ear.” It all starts with a scary fall from a 17-story height and continues with a small climb. And this is more than 180 meters of wet extreme sports. After an initial fall that's steeper than any ski slope, You come to a second rise five floors high, with new water supply technology.

A large-scale tower around which you will climb dizzying heights, made from railroad tank cars, cut up and welded together. Builders reuse the material to build the "Verrückt". The attraction differs from 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 are flying 50 sheer meters down.

Photo 6.

"Verrückt" is higher than Niagara Falls, Statue of Liberty (from sandals to torch) and Tower of London. Not only will it be the world's tallest coaster, but it will also be the steepest and fastest. Henry says that “Verrückt will change the industry. The biggest challenge will be to find extreme sports enthusiasts who will dare to go down.” If you are brave enough, visit Kansas City and challenge yourself!

How about this roller coaster?

Where are the scariest slides in the water park and what are they? 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. 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 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.
