The Insano Waterslide is located in the Fortaleza Beach Park. It was the first water park built in Brazil in the resort of Fortaleza in 1989. Initially, the water park had only three beach slides. Now "Fortaleza Beach Park" is a huge entertainment complex with an area of 180,000 square meters. m. In addition to the water park, there are museums, cafes, souvenir shops, conference rooms, beach hotel Park Suites Resort 5*.
But, of course, the main attraction is the Insano water slide. Its height is 41 meters! For comparison, this is the height of a 14-story building, and the descent from it is almost vertical! Only a madman would dare to ride from it. Climbing up the hill, you understand what the height of a bird's flight means. You see the beautiful port city of Fortaleza and unusually beautiful coast Atlantic Ocean in full view.
The flight itself from the Insano slide lasts no more than 5-6 seconds, during which the daredevil experiences an unusual range of feelings. Still, the speed of the descent reaches 105 meters / hour!
Anyone who goes down such a high Insano waterslide wants to have videos and photos. When descending, you can watch the video at the point next to the slide and redeem it. Agree, it is interesting to watch a person who in a matter of seconds develops a speed equal to the speed of a rushing car. Anyone over 140 cm tall can ride Insano, the world's highest water slide, and he does not have cardiovascular diseases.
A visit to the water park "Fortaleza Beach Park" will cost an adult 45 Euros and 40 Euros for children.
For over 15 years, Insano has been the tallest and scariest slide in the world.
In 2005, the Kilimanjaro water slide was included in the Guinness Book of Records as the highest water slide in the world. Its height is 49.9 meters! This is the height of a 17-story building. You need to be a complete madman to dare to go down from it. The slide was built in 1999 in Brazil in the Aquas Quentes water park country club» near Rio de Janeiro. With a height of about 50 meters, "Kilimanjaro" (Kilimanjaro) has an angle of inclination of 60 degrees. This allows you to develop speed when descending 100 meters / hour, that is, a visitor who dares to ride this crazy slide rolls down in 5 seconds. In 2014, the opening of the Schlitterbahn water park in Kansas City should take place. Its creators assure that the Verrückt slide will be higher than the Kilimanjaro, and will be installed new world new record.
Who among us, having visited the water park, did not dream of riding the longest water slide? To feel even more adrenaline, even more speed and drive. Then you need to visit Entertainment Center"Holiday World & Splashin "Safari". It is located in the USA in the state of Indiana in the city of Santa Claus. Just imagine, in this park there are two longest water slides in the world! This is wildebeest ("Wildebeest") and "Mammoth" ("Mammoth "). They are crazy roller coasters. You will find a spectacular descent and ascent, with drops and turns over 500 meters long. Wildebeest was opened in 2010, when it was considered the longest water slide in the world. If only its length was 520 meters!The journey along this slide lasts only 2.5 minutes, but what a dizzying flight awaits you at different angles of inclination, you will descend from a height of 20 meters to 12 meters. Inflatable raft for 4 people This slide has a height limit (over 110 cm) The slide was awarded the status of "Best New Waterpark Ride" in 2010.
In 2012, this world record was broken. On May 11, 2012, the opening of the slide "Mammoth" ("Mammoth") in the same water park took place. The length of the "Mammoth" is 537 meters! This is the longest water slide in the world! A new boat was developed especially for the Mammoth. It is designed for six people. Your flight will last 3 minutes. This giant slide alternates open areas with closed tunnels. During the descent, 6 bends await you, the height of the highest is 21 meters (this is the height of a 7-story building). Imagine you are flying down at an inclination of 45 degrees, as visitors say, this is the scariest and most memorable part of the slide! There is also a height limit of 110 cm, a child under 120 cm can ride the longest waterslide only when accompanied by an adult.
The water park "Wet n` Wild Water World", which is located in Australia in the city of Oxenford, is visited annually by more than 1 million people. This is the eighth most visited place in the world! Why does it attract guests so much? Could it be that it's the most large water park in Australia? Or maybe because it belongs to the famous film company Warner Brosers, and is part of theme park Warner Village, dedicated to your favorite Disney characters.
Or the water park "Wet n` Wild Water World", whose name translates as "Wild water world”, beckons with its extreme and crazy slides?
Judge for yourself, this is one of the few water parks where there is an unusual slide "AquaLoop" or "Water Loop". It amazes and shocks! You need to be a real extreme to dare to ride this slide! The creators themselves describe it this way: “At the beginning of the launch, you get into the capsule, the hatch closes, and you wait in anticipation of the unknown. There is a countdown 3..2..1. The audience is looking down at you somewhere. Then the floor literally collapses under your feet, and you fall from a height of 17 meters! Then you get into a dead loop, and the water carries you at a speed of 60 meters along turns almost 90 meters long, and pushes you out with spray. ”I would like to clarify that the flight lasts only 7 seconds, and you reach this speed in just 2 seconds. The slide itself is made of transparent material, which allows viewers to watch the extreme descent. The very first slide "AquaLoop" or "Water Loop" with dead loop was opened in Slovenia in the water park "TERME 3000" in 2008. It was one of the most extreme slides in the world!
Describing the most terrible slides, one cannot but mention the water slides with sharks. In United Arab Emirates there is an unusual water park called "Aquaventure". If you ever come here, you will definitely fall in love with this place. It is located on the First Artificial Palm Island. Tower of Neptune proudly rises above the palm trees. It can be seen from every corner of the Aquaventure water park. It is on it that you need to climb in order to ride a super extreme slide called the Leap of Faith - a water slide with sharks. From a height of 27 meters, an almost vertical descent awaits the daredevil. A jump from a 9-story building ends with you diving through a transparent tube into a pool filled with sharks and rays.
Next, you quickly rush through the pipe in the water, where the sharks are swarming. Only thin glass separates you from them! Imagine the range of feelings that you experience before descending, looking down at these predatory beauties. Another no less extreme water slide with sharks is located on the other side of the world, namely in America. In Las Vegas, the city of entertainment, a chic hotel "Golden Nugget" ("Golden Nugget") was built with a pool and a waterslide with sharks, which not everyone dares to ride. The slide itself starts on the third floor of the hotel and ends on the first. You descend through a closed pipe, then suddenly your descent continues in a transparent pipe. And you get into the aquarium, where you swim past the swimming sharks. And only thin glass protects you from toothy predators that watch the visitors. Your descent ends in the pool, some of the walls of which are transparent.
Walking through the park, you can watch one of the most extreme water slides in Japan. Yes, you read that right. Crazy roller coaster in Japan ends underwater. The joyous cries of people, the huge column of water that rises when the coaster touches the surface.
A water slide called "Vanish rollercoaster" was opened in Japan in 1999. During this time, it swept several million people. Only 700 yen and you will experience the most unforgettable roller coaster ride, which is only in Japan. Japan's most extreme water slide is pink. You see her in the photo. Pay attention to its length.
The total length of the slide is almost a kilometer. Just imagine how fast the descent takes place if it takes you less than 2 minutes to overcome this distance! First, dizzying turns of roller coasters await you, and then ... at an angle of almost 45 degrees, you are rapidly rushing towards the water. A column of water immediately rises .It only goes down when the last visitors are hiding under water. Only later you find out that the coaster has sank into the tunnel, the splash turns on automatically, and the people who dared to ride on the most unusual water slide in Japan did not even get wet!
But you must admit, how beautiful it is! Especially in the evening, when the Vanish rollercoaster is illuminated with colorful lights! Against the backdrop of the tall skyscrapers of Japan, which are located in the Port of the Future, it looks very mesmerizing! how the CosmoWorld park looks from a height of 296 meters. Impressive attractions look from such a height quite tiny and not scary at all.

The Silver Star, the highest slide 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 they will drop and circle at speeds up to 130 km / h.
2. Tower of Terror II, Dreamworld, Queensland, Australia
The first "Tower of Fear", opened in 1997, managed to scare more than 8 million Australians, and in 2010 it was launched again and became even scarier.

3. Steel Dragon 2000, Nagashima Spa Land, Kuwana, Mie Prefecture, Japan
The Steel Dragon is no longer the fastest or tallest slide, but it is still the longest. And also the most expensive ever made, thanks to the amount of steel used in the construction, it is necessary to make the slides resistant to earthquakes. But, even if we do not 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-lived rollercoaster in the world, but to this day remains the tallest roller coaster in the world with a dizzying record of 139 meters. However, during its history, the attraction had many problems. In 2005, the slide suffered a variety of mechanical damage that affected the starting engine and rope system. Fortunately, all the problems were completely fixed, but in 2009 Kingda Ka was struck by lightning, causing new damage. Now this is really scary...
5. Intimidator 305, Kings Dominion, Virginia, USA
A relative newcomer to the rollercoaster world, the 305 Intimidator (it's scary just the name...) won the 2010 Golden Ticket Award for Best New Rollercoaster.
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!

With speeds up to 160 km/h and climbing to a height of 126.5 meters, the updated "Superman" knows exactly how to get you a shot of adrenaline.
8. Thunder Dolphin, Tokyo Dome City, Tokyo, Japan
The Thunder Dolphin is rather modest in terms of speed, height and acceleration compared to other participants in the list, but it has its own unique "trick" thanks to which it got into it. The path of the "Dolphin" passes through the concrete ring, and also goes around the real building at a distance tickling the nerves.
9. Formula Rossa, Ferrari World, Abu Dhabi, UAE
Formula Rossa - on this moment the fastest slides in the world. Accelerate 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 goggles so as not to injure their eyes.
Another slide from the same park, but worth it. These slides are "with bells and whistles", and in the truest sense of the word. Eejanaika is the so-called 4D roller coaster, which actually means that in addition to the usual ups, downs and loops, you also get ... 360-degree rotating chairs! Can rides get even scarier?
Summer, heat, so you want to relax, soak up the warm gentle water, enjoy summer vacation and just relax.

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 right into the jaws of sharks. And the most amazing thing is that this is practically the case. The descent does not initially portend trouble, but at the moment you enter the water, you fall into 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 level of adrenaline after such entertainment should just jump to the skies. However, the queue for the hill is not decreasing, but rather becoming even more popular.

Second place "King Cobra"
Surprised by the unusual name? So the view of the slide is quite unusual, a ride on it is the same as kissing a king cobra. The entire slide is made in the form 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 to the cobra's hood, where it is not so easy to stay. If you push harder at the start, then you might even be able to pull the cobra's fangs, because it's so exciting.

Its height was 41 meters.
Schlitterbahn Water Park was opened last year. The steepest slide, Verrückt, reaches 52 meters in height, which is half a meter higher than the Statue of Liberty. The spiral climb takes professional risk-takers to the very top, where they break into teams of 4, sit on rubber rafts and rush down at a speed of 120 km / h.
Let's take a closer look at it...
"Verrückt" in German means "crazy" - in fact, only a crazy extreme and thrill-seeker will dare to ride the highest and fastest water slide.
The water slide "Verrückt" is officially recognized by the Guinness Book of Records as the highest in the world: its height is 51.38 m
Photo 3. 
The Verrückt Meg-a-Blaster is a design triumph of insane proportions by 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. 
The Verrückt has 4 people descending in parallel and, as Henry remarked, "It's a lot more fun to have someone yelling next to your ear." It all starts with a frightening fall from a 17-story height and continues with a small rise. And this is more than 180 meters of wet extreme. After the initial fall, which is steeper than any ski slope, You get to the second lift five floors high, with new water supply technology.
Photo 5. 
The massive tower around which you will ascend to dizzying heights is made from railroad tank cars cut and welded together. The builders reuse the material to build the "Verrückt". The attraction differs from the 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 fly 50 sheer meters down.
Photo 6. 
"Verrückt" is higher than Niagara Falls, the Statue of Liberty (from sandals to a torch) and the Tower of London. It will not only be the highest slide in the world, but also the steepest and fastest. Henry says that “Verrückt will change the industry. The biggest challenge will be to find extreme people who will dare to go down.” If you're brave enough, visit Kansas City and challenge yourself!
