Its height was 41 meters.

Schlitterbahn Water Park 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 ascent takes professional risk-takers to the very top, where they split into teams of 4, sit on rubber rafts and dash 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 tallest in the world: its height is 51.38 m

Photo 3.

The Verrückt Meg-a-Blaster is a triumph of insanely proportioned design 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.

There are 4 people descending in parallel in Verrückt, and as Henry noted, “It’s much more fun when someone screams near your ear.” It all starts with a frightening fall from a 17-story height and continues with a small climb. And this is more than 180 meters of wet extreme. After an initial fall that's cooler than any ski slope, You find yourself on the second rise with a height of five floors, with the technology of supplying new water.

Photo 5.

A scale tower around which you will climb dizzying height, made from railroad tank cars, cut and welded together. The builders reuse the material to build the Verrückt. The attraction differs from "Kilimanjaro" in that it will be rafting and the body will not touch the surface. Although, of course, the raft is not very comfortable transport when you fly 50 vertical meters down.

Photo 6.

"Verrückt" is higher than Niagara Falls, The Statue of Liberty (from sandals to torch) and Tower of London... It will be not only the tallest slide in the world, but also the steepest and fastest. Henry says “Verrückt will change the industry. The biggest challenge will be to find extreme sportsmen who will dare to go down. " If you're brave enough, visit Kansas City and put yourself to the test!

How about this roller coaster?

Incredible facts

At the water amusement park Schlitterbahn in Kansas, USA, it costs waterslide called Verruckt (which in German means "crazy, crazy").

On the raft, 4 people will be able to descend at once and they will descend at a speed of about 104 km / h.

Highest slide

This design claims to be the world's tallest slide.

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

It is worth noting that while the highest slide in the world, entered in the Guinness Book of Records, is the Insano slide in Brazil's Beach Park in Fortaleza.

While the slide in Kansas has not opened, you can visit it virtually.

The scariest water slides in the world

World water slides: Insano

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

Blizzard Waterpark Visitors Beach Water Park, located in Walt Disney World, cannot but pass by a 110-meter long slide, on which you can ride at a speed of 95 km / h.

Largest Waterslide: The Mammoth

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 stand in a certain 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.

On May 8, 1976, there was a real revolution in the world of roller coasters. At Six Flags Magic Mountain, California, the world's first steel loop roller coaster was opened. Nowadays, a dead loop is far from the worst thing that the creators of attractions are ready to offer adrenaline lovers who line up in long queues around the world to tickle their nerves. We offer you a virtual ride on the ten scariest roller coasters in the world!

Attention: for the faint of heart, afraid of heights and people with a weak vestibular apparatus, it is better not to look further!

(Total 10 photos + 10 videos)

1. Silver Star, Europa Park, Rust (Baden), Germany

"Silver Star" - the highest slides in Europe, tickling the steel nerves of Germany 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 a speed of up to 130 km / h.

2. Tower of Terror II, Dreamworld, Queensland, Australia

The first "Tower of Fear", opened in 1997, scared more than 8 million Australians, and in 2010 it was re-launched and became even scarier. The skiers leave the tunnel and in 7 seconds reach the top of the vertical tower with a maximum speed of 161 km / h. At the top of the 35-meter tower, they freeze for a moment, and then fall down in horror.

3. Steel Dragon 2000, Nagashima Spa Land, Kuwana, Mie Prefecture, Japan

The Steel Dragon is no longer the fastest or the tallest slides, but it is still the longest. It is also the most expensive ever built, thanks to the amount of steel used in the construction, to make the slides resistant to earthquakes. But even excluding earthquakes, this monster has definitely earned its place in our top ten.

4.Kingda Ka, Six Flags Great Adventure, New Jersey, USA

Kingda Ka is a long-lived roller coaster 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 has had many problems. In 2005, the roller coaster suffered a variety of mechanical damage, affecting the starter motor and the rope system. Fortunately, all problems were completely repaired, 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 roller coaster world, the Intimidator 305 (it gets scary from the name alone ...) won the 2010 Golden Ticket award for Best New Roller Coaster.

6. Dodonpa, Fuji-Q Highland, Fujiyoshida, Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan.

How can the slides surprise thrill-seekers if they are no longer the fastest, highest or longest? Doponda knows the answer - the biggest acceleration! Having knocked the skiers confused by not the most frisky start, Doponda unexpectedly accelerates to 172 km / h in ... attention ... 1.8 seconds! And then it hurls you up and down in an almost vertical loop.

7. Superman: Escape from Krypton, Six Flags Magic Mountain, California, USA

Until 2011, Superman Escape Krypton was known simply as Superman Escape. But after a new coat of paint and the addition of backward-moving carts, a new superhero in the amusement world was born. Developing a speed of up to 160 km / h and rising 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

"Thunder Dolphin" is rather modest in terms of speed, altitude and acceleration, relative to other members of the list, but it has its own unique "chip", thanks to which it ended up in it. The Dolphin's path passes through a concrete ring, and also bends around the real building at a nerve-tickling distance.

9. Formula Rossa, Ferrari world, Abu Dhabi, UAE

Formula Rossa is currently the fastest roller coaster in the world. They 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 safety glasses so as not to damage their eyes.

Another roller coaster from the same park, but worth it. These slides - "with a twist", and in the truest sense of the word. Eejanaika are so-called 4D slides, which really means that in addition to the usual ups, downs and loops, you simultaneously get ... 360-degree rotating chairs! Could the rides get even scarier?

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 about a 14-storey building, and you will have to fly at almost 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. Those who wish can purchase a video of their unprecedented flight.

Brazilians hold the lead. The largest slides in the water park it is in this country. The highest slide in the world "Kilimanjaro" is also with them. 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 water park. 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 loop.

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" - this water attraction is called and it is located in United Arab Emirates... And the very placement of such an unusual descent is worth visiting. 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 that 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 "steam 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 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 slope 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.
