Relaxing in a water park is the best way to fight the summer heat, at least for a day. Everyone in the family may easily enjoy the nearby wave pools, ice cream sandwiches, and lazy rivers.
Although it may seem unbelievable now, the idea of a water slide was first proposed only 115 years ago. The New Zealand International Exhibition in 1906 saw the debut of the first instance of this now common summers pastime. Four riders went down a flume sliding across the water in a water chute over Victoria Lake, which would go on to become a global sensation.
Herbert Sellner, a Minnesotan, created a comparable water toboggan ride a few years later that went down a slope and onto one of the 10,000 lakes in the state.
One hundred years later, engineers have boldly created and constructed a plethora of water slides and coasters that have raised the standard globally. There are some long, tall, and quirky water slides that get your heart beating if you’re looking for more exhilarating summertime action.
Our ranking of the world’s tallest, fastest, and longest water slides can be found below.because nothing compares to the rush of racing through corners at heights that defy gravity. And don’t worry, even the most outrageous rides are designed to adhere to strict water slide safety regulations, so you are the only one jumping in a safe and exhilarating manner!
Are you trying to find a fantastic slide for your company? Take a look at these slides.
1. The Longest
It’s all in the name. Malaysia is home to the longest tube water slide in the world. Inside the Escape Penang amusement park, it trots down a canopied mountain and is simply referred to as “The Longest.” With a length of 3,645 feet, or 12 football fields, the slide is much longer than any other water slide.
The park’s proprietors had an idea for a ride that would allow guests to experience the rain forest up close. During the four-minute ride, adventurers can nearly touch the overhanging branches as they speed down the mountain.
2. Waterslide
This is another water ride at Buena Vista Lodge in Costa Rica with a straightforward name. The longest flume in the world is the Waterslide, where passengers sit on the slide rather than an inflatable. Waterslide offers its riders the unique experience of being in the water rather than just on top of it, with a length of 1,300 feet, or four football fields. Waterslide is a part of the Buena Vista Adventure Centre, which offers visitors a taste of Costa Rica in one place including ziplining, waterfalls, and hot springs.
3. Mammoth
The longest water slide for groups of four to six people is located at Holiday World, a water park in Santa Claus, Indiana. For over two minutes, riders of the multi-person water coaster “Mammoth” are propelled up, down, and around a network of blue and yellow pipes. The flume is 70 feet high and 1,763 feet long, or nearly six football fields, spanning three acres of land. Before passengers are dropped off into the cold water, the experience begins with a conveyor belt journey to the top.
4. Kilimanjaro
Kilimanjaro is the world’s longest drop slide. Kilimanjaro, named after the well-known peak in Tanzania, is located about 85 miles northwest of Rio in the Aldeia das Aguas Park Resort in Barra do Pirai, Brazil. Three seconds are allotted to riders to get ready for the nearly vertical, 164-foot plummet to the ground below.
With 234 stair steps up to the drop zone, enthusiasts must undertake a strenuous journey to the summit of this attraction. Those who dare to tackle this flume after the long walk wind up hurtling down the mountain at nearly sixty miles per hour.
5. MASSIV Monster Blaster
One of the tallest water slides in the world is the water coaster, a ride that simulates roller coasters with ups, downs, and g-force propulsion. Schlitterbahn Waterpark in Galveston, Texas, is home to MASSIV Monster Blaster. From the beginning of this 330-yard (one football pitch) flume, riders can see the Gulf Coast because it is 81 feet above the earth.
In order to simulate the gravitational forces required to spring up before sliding down, riders are propelled forward throughout the ride. Three consecutive drops mark the end of this highest water slide coaster.
