Ideal rest - everyone understands this concept in their own way. For some, an imposing pastime on the beach is optimal, while others get real pleasure from an active or even extreme vacation.
The heart beats faster, with every second a huge portion of adrenaline is thrown into the blood, and the brain, in the meantime, seems to turn off, but the brilliance of the sensations does not decrease from this! Believe me, you will have enough impressions for many years if you dare to conquer the largest water slide in the world!
Summit plummet
The water park Disney Blizzard Beach, located in Florida, has one of the most extreme water slopes - about 37 meters in height. Despite the fact that the summer is always sunny and quite hot here, those wishing to descend from Summit Plummet will find snowdrifts at the top and along the entire route, because of which this attraction looks rather unusual and looks more like a ski jump. But since the snow is artificial, the likelihood of freezing something for yourself is reduced to zero.
To climb Summit Plummet you don't have to put in any special effort - here is cable car... And if the ascent is easy, then it is at the top of the water slide that you will have to be very hard. Why? Because you need to have nerves of steel to sit in a narrow chute, let go of your hands and ... experience an incredible feeling when you are rapidly falling down at a speed of 100 km / h. Ready? Then Summit Plummet is waiting for you!
For more than 15 years, this slide has held the proud title of the highest water slide in the world. Its height is 41 m and it is located in the water park, which bears the name of Fortaleza Beach Park. And if you have planned your vacation in the Brazilian resort of Fortaleza, then you simply have no right to pass by its luxurious attraction, which is listed in the Guinness Book of Records.
Insano is a water slide that not everyone dares to slide down. Its descent is almost vertical, and it is equal in height to a 14-storey building. Anyone who dares to climb to the top of this Brazilian attraction will be able to learn what a bird's eye view is and fully enjoy the surrounding landscape.
But the view of the coast and the port city is not the main thing! You are at the top and now you should collect all your will into a fist and make a real flight down. Its duration does not exceed 7 seconds, but because of the tremendous speed, which is about 105 km / h, the sensations are incredible! In this short time you will experience amazing, incomparable feelings!
Verrückt
But the biggest adrenaline rush awaits you in Kansas City, where the Verrückt water slide awaits all madmen in a park called Schlitterbahn. Only true daredevils are able to agree to this adventure, since this slide is not only the highest in the world, but also one of the most extreme. By agreeing to this flight, you get several pleasures at once:
- fast travel along the water slide;
- an incredible track that wags like rails on a roller coaster;
- amazing turns, forcing you to fall down and immediately soar up.
And all this happens at an incredible speed that reaches 120 km / h. The highest section of the Verrückt water slide is 52 m. And if you compare it with famous buildings, then, for example, the Statue of Liberty will be half a meter lower than this attraction. The same can be said for some of the world's other landmarks, such as the Tower and Niagara Falls - they are also inferior in height to this amazing water slide.
In order to reach the top of the Verrückt slide, you will need to climb 264 steps. At the top, risk lovers are already waiting for rubber rafts, each of which can accommodate 3 people. And then only a dizzying flight from the height of a 17-storey building and another 180 m of incredible extreme! At the same time, the first fall is not the only one - immediately after it you will be lifted to a height of about 5 floors and carried further along a narrow and, as it seems to many, endless gutter.
Do you want to tickle your nerves? Then you are on the highest water slide in the world!

Each vacationer has his own way of imagining water activities. For some, it is quite enough just to splash in a pool with clean water. Well, there are also those extreme people who need the highest water slide in the world for complete happiness. Every year there are more and more such entertainments in the world and the roller coaster is getting higher. The main part of such entertainment is located overseas, but in Europe there are several attractions that can be safely attributed to the highest water slides.
Spain, attraction VertiGo
In 2013, the highest 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 with which a person rushes down a special capsule is about 100 km / h.
On the opening day of the slide in the pool gathered a large number of people who wanted to see faces, those who ventured on such an adventure. Inside the capsule, under the feet of the person, there is a special hatch that opens at the signal of the attraction worker. A moment - and the extreme is already flying down, and the speed of the fall is constantly increasing. Before allowing tourists to climb 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 a vacationer climbs to a height of 33 meters, he will have to descend quickly along a plastic chute at great speed. After the initial acceleration, it seems to the tourist that everything will go on calmly, but somewhere in the middle of the way he unexpectedly falls down, almost in free fall. This section of the slide is the most attractive for thrill-seekers.
During the entire operation of this attraction, no accidents were recorded on this slide (except, of course, the loss of some bathing accessories 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 World Record holder. It is located in the Beach Park water park, near the Brazilian city of Fortaleza. Its name, Insano, in translation means insane, and one cannot but agree with this. The height of this slide is equal to the height of a 14-storey building (41 meters). Not only is it very high, the descent along it is almost vertical, which adds even more extreme to tourists. During the 5 seconds that the descent lasts, a person develops a speed of up to 105 km / h, and this is the speed of a rushing car.
After a successful descent, the vacationer has the opportunity to watch a video showing his adventure, and even take a recording with him as a souvenir. Such footage can be reviewed over and over again. True, access to such entertainment is not available to everyone. It is strictly forbidden to enter the attraction for pregnant women, children whose height has not reached 140 cm and people with cardiovascular disorders.
Brazil, Rio de Janeiro, Kilimanjaro slide
This water slide lives up to its name (Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in Africa). Those wishing to ride from such a mountain are invited to overcome 50 meters in 5 seconds. The maximum speed that is reached during the descent is about 90 km / h. The employees of the attraction keep their statistics, and they say that one in twenty visitors hesitates 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 world's tallest waterslide recently opened in the US at the Schlitterbahn Water Park. The height of this attraction is almost 52 meters. She surpassed both Niagara Falls and the Statue of Liberty in height, although there are not so many desperate daredevils who are ready to descend from such a height.
A spiral ascent, consisting of 264 steps, leads to the very top of the slide, where those who want to ride are seated in four-seater rubber rafts and tightly tied to them. In the first trials of this attraction, the engineers were unable to make sure that the sandbags (tested on them) did not come off the slide and did not rise into the air. For greater safety, the gutter itself, along which the descent takes place, is fenced with a net. This is really necessary, because the speed at which the daredevil descends is approximately 120 km / h.
On the this moment the tallest water slide in the world is closed. Unfortunately, a child recently died on this ride. All the details of this incident are not yet fully known, but there are rumors that he flew out of the front seat and broke his neck on the upper rail of the gutter. Official version not yet, but the mere fact that a 10-year-old adolescent was admitted to this attraction is already a court case. The fact is that the entrance to this hill is allowed only from the age of 14.
It is not yet known whether this water slide will open again or not, but some hotheads of individual extreme lovers will cool this incident a little. Indeed, for a good rest, it is not at all necessary to climb to such a height and risk your life.
Water attractions are leisure, salvation from the summer heat and good mood. We have collected in the review the most extreme water slides, which also guarantee a solid dose of adrenaline. Such entertainment is suitable only for the most daring extremals.
Snake River Falls is the oldest slide.
In 1870, on the shores of Lake Erie in American state Ohio opened Cedar Point Amusement Park. The main attraction of the park is the water slide Snake river falls, along which you descend from a height of 25 meters at a speed of 65 km / h.
Perilous Plunge - Risky Step
Knott's Berry Farm in California is among the 13 most visited theme parks in North America... One of its 40 attractions is Perilous Plunge(Risky Step) - A boat that can accommodate 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 in Kansas City at the Schlitterbahn Waterpark. Verruckt translated from German - "crazy". Daredevils roll down a 52-meter slide at a speed of 80 km / h.
Summit Plummet: Car Speed at Fifth Point
Summit Plummet is a 36.5 meter water slide, from which you can descend 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 - a slide from the Guinness Book of Records
The 41-meter Insano water slide at the Beach Park in Brazil has hit the Guinness Book of Records. A slide as high as a 14-storey building rises above the trees and most of the buildings in the surrounding area. Few people dare to fly off almost a steep hill at a speed of 105 km / h in 5 seconds.
Kilimanjaro - almost a mountain peak
Kilimanjaro is known to be the name of the high mountain in Africa. And this is also the name of a 50-meter water slide in the Brazilian city of Rio de Janeiro, from which fans of water extreme fly off in 5 seconds at a speed of 91 km / h. Moreover, the pipe of the slide is extended further along the slope of the hill. Kilimanjaro is so high that every twentieth person who climbed to its top refuses to slide down.
Spacemaker: 100 km / h on a rubber raft
In Venice, Italy, the Aqualandia water park is home to the Spacemaker water slide. On it, you can slide down with your friends on a 4-seater raft from a height of 40 meters at a speed of 100 km / h. Moreover, most of the track is built at an angle of 60 degrees. The Spacemaker is one of 20 water slides available in Aqualandia.
Jumeirah Sceirah: Incredible Fall Down
Dubai has the most high building in the world, therefore it is not at all surprising that it is in Dubai that one of the highest water slides in the world is located. Jumeirah Sceirah is the pride of Wild Wadi Water Park. This waterslide was recently redesigned 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 among the attractions of the Spanish water park Port Aventura's Aquatic Park is King khajuna... This waterslide was named after a character from an ancient Hawaiian legend. The height of "King Hajun" is 31 meters, and anyone can ride on the chute, built at an angle of 55 degrees, at a speed of 6 meters per second.
The Devil's Drop - Devil's Fall
Devil's Fall is a rather chilling name for the 29-meter waterslide that is located in the Aquarama water park in Castellón, Spain. The Devil's Drop boasts the steepest water chute slope in Europe - a whopping 62 degrees.
Xpirado scary slide
The waterslide at Xpirado Waterpark is one of the most unique rides on this list due to its imposing piranha styling. Having flown 32 meters at a speed of 87 km / h, as a result, the daredevil gets into a hot spring.
VertiGO is the tallest slide.
The VertiGO ride was launched on August 1, 2013 at Aqualandia in Benidorm, Spain. It bears the title of the highest free fall water slide in Europe. Visitors climb to the top of the slide, where a hatch opens under their feet. The height of the fall along the chute with water is 33 meters, and at the end a person develops 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 tightest twists and turns.
The Wedgie slide at White Water World in Coomera, Australia is an engineering marvel created by ProSlide. In 6 seconds, a person passes 18 meters in a stream of water in a closed pipe, that is, he descends at a speed of 3 meters per second. At the same time, the slide is notable for its sudden turns. Gradually, the descent speed decreases towards the end of the pipe.
Stukas
A water park called Caneva has been built near Verona, Italy. It is notable for its attraction called Stukas - a 30-meter water slide, in the chute of which a person reaches a speed from 0 to 100 km / h in less than 3 seconds, faster than any Ferrari in the world. It is so fast that 40 percent of people refuse to ride the slide after they climb to the top landing at the height of the tenth floor. Stukas has a reputation for being the scariest water slide in Italy.
Booster Loop: in a transparent tube 7 stories high

The scariest water slides in the world
World water slides: Insano
The slide owes its name to a crazy descent that makes you dizzy. The height of the slide is 41 meters, which is slightly higher than a 14-storey building.
Despite the fact that the fun lasts only 4-5 seconds, few can resist from accelerating to speeds of over 100 km / h.
Large water slides: Summit Plummet
Visitors to the Blizzard Beach Water Park, located in Walt Disney World, cannot help but pass by a 110-meter slide, which can be ridden at a speed of 95 km / h.
Largest Waterslide: The Mammoth
Located in Indiana's Splashin "Safari Water Park, this hydromagnetic attraction has 7 slopes (the highest is 21 meters).
Those wishing to ride are located in a 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 the ride on this slide think twice before riding 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 get into a box, from where you are lowered down, and you "fall" about 14 meters before the crazy turns begin.
Water Slide Rides: 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, the speed and steep descents on which you can reach a speed of 55 km / h.
Scariest waterslide ever: Scorpion's Tail
The Scorpion Tail can be found at Noah's Ark Family Park, Wisconsin, about the height of a 10-story building and nearly 122 meters long.
You enter the capsule, the door is closed behind you, and after 3 seconds the floor falls under you and you, almost from a right angle, begin to "fall" downward, accelerating at a speed of about 15 meters per second. The only thing that slows down the fall is the slide loop. Among other things, you can perfectly see everything that happens outside, because the slide is made of transparent fiberglass.
Where are the scariest slides in the water park located and what are they? They are actually amazing and unusual. Some of them are included 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 water park "Fortaleza Beach Park", which is spread over 180 thousand square meters.
Its height is from a 14-storey building, and you will have to fly at an angle of 90 degrees. Or rather, to fall. Before those who nevertheless were not afraid of its height, and climbed 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 crashed in five to six seconds.
There is an opportunity here to look behind your emotions when you come to your senses. Anyone can purchase a video of their unprecedented flight.
Brazilians hold the lead. Most big slides In aquapark it is in this country. The most high slide of the world "Kilimanjaro" is with them too. She bypassed her predecessor by 9 meters. And its height is almost 50 m.
This wonder of the world is located next to Rio de Janeiro in the Aquas Quentes Country Club". The descent angle is almost 60 degrees. A man rushes along it at a speed of 100 kilometers per hour. In 5 seconds he will come to the finish line.
"Mammoth" in the USA
If the Americans did not take in height, then in length they have a clear superiority. Waterpark "Holiday World and Splashin 'Safari" is famous for the longest slides. There are two of them here. "Gnu" stretches for 520 meters, and "Mammoth" for 537 meters.
The descents are on inflatable boats. You will drive out for two and a half minutes. Steep descents and ascents, unprecedented turns and several flights in an enclosed space await you.
When the Mammoth was opened, an inflatable boat was specially made for it, on which six people can comfortably sit. 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 dead loop
The "Wild Water World" (as "AquaLoop" is translated), which is located in the Australian water world "Wet`n` Wild Water World", is famous for its dead loop. Those who dare to descend, not once, but as many as four, will be wrapped in a noose.
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 off the slide and find yourself in a pool that is teeming with sharks and rays. You see them perfectly, as they do 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 placement of such an unusual descent is worth a visit here. A slide with sharks is located on the first artificial "Palm Island".
"Leap of Faith" - so 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.
Las Vegas has a similar slide. It was built at the Golden Nugget Hotel. It starts on the third floor and land on the first. You will also rush past the sharks, which calmly swim very close.
Vanish rollercoaster
In Japan in a fantastic park water world This slide was built by CosmoWorld. The length of this extreme is one km, and the descent takes only 2 minutes. "Train" with vacationers rushes along steep bends water attraction, and then sharply dives into the water.
In fact, it goes into the hole in the pool. When the "locomotive" approaches, a fountain is turned on, which creates the illusion that everything is going under water. It turns off after the last descendant dives into the hole.
At the same time, people do not even get wet. And from the outside, everyone is sure that they plunged headlong.
And other frightening, frightening
In Spain, the King of Hajun slide was built in honor of the Hawaiian legend. It is not that high - only 31 meters. Descent at an angle of 55 degrees will occur at a speed of almost 60 meters per second.
Scary from just one name of the descent in Spain. The Devil's Fall is 29 meters high, but it has the steepest descent of any roller coaster in Europe. A little over 60 degrees - so you have to fly down.
Get into the mouth of the 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 attraction ends with a fall into a hot spring.
Spain has the tallest free fall slide. A hatch opens under the feet of the vacationer, and then you just fly along the gutter 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 little lower.
In Australia, 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 stormy stream of water. Lots of unexpected turns that end up with a quiet landing.
Faster than a racing car is a man on a hill in Italy. The height of "Stukas" is 30 meters. Approximately 10th floor of the building. Not all visitors, after going upstairs, decide to descend.
The miniature slide 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 men are not allowed here. "Booster Loop" - a circular slide that will raise your adrenaline, provided that your weight is not more than 50 kg. For those who weigh more, the entrance is closed.
