The global “height” race isn’t limited to buildings or Ferris wheels—various thrilling amusement rides have also joined this invisible battle. The renowned U.S. water park “Schlitterbahn Water Park” is currently constructing its third park of the same name in Kansas, where it will build the tallest water slide in history. It is expected to challenge visitors’ courage and physical limits in the spring of 2014!
U.S. media outlet 《Huffington Post》 described this under-construction slide in bold letters as “Absolutely Terrifying.” This unnamed slide, although the park is not confirming its actual height before the official opening, Schlitterbahn Water Park partner Jeff Henry stated, “When visitors see this new water slide, they will involuntarily exclaim ‘Wow!’ Once it officially opens, this great challenge will also begin seeking brave challengers ready to face its thrills.”“Verruckt MEG-A-BLASTER”Although the water park is not willing to confirm the actual height of the slide before its official opening, Jeff Henry, a partner at Schlitterbahn Waterpark, said, “This new water slide will make every visitor exclaim ‘Wow!’ when they see it, and once it officially opens, this great challenge will also begin to seek brave adventurers ready to take on its thrilling excitement.”

Renowned U.S. online media《Gawker》mentioned that this slide, estimated to be over 42 meters tall (equivalent to a 17-story building), will break the current record held by Brazil’s Beach Park Water Park’s nearly 41-meter-tall insane slide. Moreover, unlike the Brazilian slide where riders must enjoy the plunge solo, Verrückt will feature a four-person inflatable raft, launching riders from the top at a near 90-degree angle at speeds of up to 97 km/h.
This thrilling slide has already caused a sensation even before opening, with many people recoiling at the mere sight of photos. An anonymous user named Painted Monkeys on the popular U.S. social news site《Reddit》wrote nervously, “Even though I’m sure it’s safe, seeing the photos still makes me worry about whether I might just fly off during the drop.”
