The Insano water slide is located in the Fortaleza Beach Park water 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, Hotel Beach Park Suites Resort 5*.
But, of course, the main attraction is the Insano water slide. Its height is 41 meters! For comparison, this is equal to the height of a 14-story building, and the descent from it is almost vertical! Only a madman would dare to ride from it. Having climbed the hill, you understand what a bird's eye view means. You see the beautiful port city of Fortaleza and the incredibly beautiful coastline 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 extraordinary range of feelings. Still, the speed of descent reaches 105 meters/hour!
Anyone who goes down such a high Insano water slide wants to have videos and photos. When descending, you can watch the video at a point next to the slide and redeem it. Agree, it’s interesting to watch a person who, in a matter of seconds, develops a speed equal to the speed of a speeding car. Anyone taller than 140 cm tall and does not have cardiovascular diseases can ride Insano, the world’s tallest water slide.
A visit to the Fortaleza Beach Park water park will cost 45 Euros for an adult and 40 Euros for children.
For more than 15 years, Insano remained the highest and scariest slide in the whole world.

In 2005, the Kilimanjaro water slide was included in the Guinness Book of Records as the tallest water slide in the world. Its height is 49.9 meters! This is the height of a 17-story building. You have to be completely crazy to dare to go down from it. The slide was built in 1999 in Brazil at the Aquas Quentes Country Club water park near Rio de Janeiro. With a height of about 50 meters, Kilimanjaro has an inclination angle of 60 degrees. This allows you to reach a speed of 100 meters/hour during the descent, i.e., a visitor who dares to ride this crazy slide slides down in 5 seconds. In 2014, the Schlitterbahn water park should open in Kansas City. Its creators claim that the Verrückt slide will be higher than Kilimanjaro, and a new world record will be set.

Who among us, having visited a water park, has not dreamed of riding the longest water slide? To feel even more adrenaline, even more speed and drive. Then you need to visit the 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, this park has two of the longest water slides in the world! These are Wildebeest and "Mammoth" ("Mammoth"). They are a crazy roller coaster. You will find an exciting descent and ascent, with drops and turns of more than 500 meters in length. The Wildebeest slide ("Wildebeest") was opened in 2010, then it was considered the most the longest water slide in the world. If only it were 520 meters long! The journey on this slide lasts only 2.5 minutes, but what a breathtaking flight awaits you at different angles of inclination, you will drop from a height of 20 meters to 12 meters. During the descent, you will end up twice in closed sections of the pipe. For the descent, an inflatable raft is used, which is designed for 4 people. For this slide, there is a restriction on the height of visitors (above 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 “Mammoth” slide was opened in the same water park. The length of "Mammoth" is 537 meters! This is the longest water slide in the world! A new boat was developed especially for “Mammoth”. It is designed for six people. Your flight will last 3 minutes. This giant slide alternates between open areas and closed tunnels. During the descent you will find 6 turns, the height of the highest is 21 meters (this is the height of a 7-story building). Imagine you are flying down at an incline of 45 degrees, as visitors say, this is the scariest and most memorable section of the slide! There is also a height limit of 110 cm; a child under 120 cm can ride the longest water slide only if accompanied by an adult.

The Wet n'Wild Water World water park, which is located in the city of Oxenford in Australia, is visited by more than 1 million people annually. This is the eighth most visited place in the world! Why does it attract guests so much? Maybe because it is the largest water park in Australia? Or maybe because it belongs to the famous film company "Warner Brosers", and is part theme park Warner Village, dedicated to your favorite Disney characters.
Or the “Wet n` Wild Water World” water park, whose name translates as “Wild water world", attracts 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 sports enthusiast 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. The countdown is 3..2..1. The audience is looking at you somewhere below. Then the floor literally collapses under your feet and you fall 17 meters! Then you find yourself in a loop, and the water carries you at a speed of 60 meters along bends almost 90 meters long, and pushes you out with splashes.” I would like to clarify, 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 spectators to watch the extreme descent. The very first slide "AquaLoop" or "Water Loop" with loop was opened in Slovenia in the TERME 3000 water park in 2008. It was one of the most extreme slides in the world!

When describing the scariest slides, one cannot fail to mention water slides with sharks. In the United Arab Emirates there is an unusual water park called “Aquaventure”. If you come here at least once, you will definitely fall in love with this place. It is located on the First artificial Palm Island. Neptune's Tower rises proudly above the palm trees. It can be seen from any corner of the Aquaventure water park. It is the one you need to climb to ride the super extreme slide called “Leap of Faith” - a water slide with sharks. From a height of 27 meters, an almost vertical descent awaits the daredevil. The jump from a 9-story building ends with you plunging through a transparent pipe into a pool filled with sharks and rays.
Next, you quickly rush through a pipe in water infested with sharks. Only a thin glass separates you from them! Imagine the range of feelings you experience before the descent, 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 luxurious Golden Nugget hotel was built with a swimming pool and a water slide 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 go down a closed pipe, then suddenly your descent continues in a transparent pipe. And you find yourself in an aquarium, where you swim past swimming sharks. And only thin glass protects you from the toothy predators that are watching the visitors. Your descent ends in a pool, some of the walls of which are transparent.
While walking through the park, you can watch one of the most extreme water slides in Japan. Yes, you read that right. Japan's crazy roller coaster ends underwater. The joyful cries of people, a huge column of water that rises up when the coaster touches the surface.

The water slide, called Vanish rollercoaster, opened in Japan in 1999. During this time, several million people rode it. Just 700 yen and you will have the most unforgettable ride on a roller coaster that only exists in Japan. The most extreme Japanese 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 occurs if it takes you less than 2 minutes to cover this distance! First, dizzying turns await you roller coaster, and then...at an angle of almost 45 degrees you are rapidly rushing towards the water. A column of water immediately rises up. It only descends when the last visitors disappear under the water. Only later do you find out that the coaster has descended into the tunnel, the splash turns on automatically, and the people who dared to ride Japan's most unusual water slide didn't even get wet!

But you must admit, how beautiful it is! Especially in the evening, when the Vanish rollercoaster water slide is illuminated with multi-colored lights! Against the backdrop of the tall skyscrapers of Japan, which are located in the Port of the Future, it looks very mesmerizing! If you are in Yokohama, you want to climb the most tall skyscraper in Japan, pay attention to how CosmoWorld Park looks from a height of 296 meters. The impressive rides look very tiny and not scary at all from such a height.

Every year on June 21st the summer solstice occurs. This is the longest day in the entire 12 months. Some will spend it in an apartment with the air conditioning on. Others are in the backyard of the house, cooking something on the grill. But perhaps best place to spend this day there is a water park. Going on regular attractions is too banal.

If you've seen the horror film Final Destination 3, you may have developed a bias against roller coasters. Do you think water slides are a great alternative? There are no heavy moving mechanical parts, no sharp turns and - most importantly - no electrical current. Alas, we have to disappoint you! In water parks, this is the attraction that causes the most harm. You can “splash down” unsuccessfully. You can get stuck and wait in the dark for someone to pull you out. You can damage body parts and... even be decapitated. Don't believe me? Here are the most dangerous water slides in the world.

Unreliable rafts

The Shoot The Rapids slide is located at the Cedar Point amusement park in Ohio, near Lake Erie. Visitors descend on a raft that can accommodate up to ten people at a time. The park was the site of one of the worst incidents in water slide history. The empty raft was being pulled back to the top of the hill, but it broke loose and rushed down the hill and capsized another raft. Ten visitors (including children) fell into the water, and a woman suffered a serious head injury. If help had not arrived in time, they would have drowned.

Rapist Ambush

Administration of the Arriba Water Park in German city Norderstedt recently took steps to keep her guests safe after a scary incident on a waterslide. On March 4, 2015, two girls (14 and 18 years old) were caught by Afghan rapists, 14 and 34 years old, who were waiting for their victims “at the finish line,” in the pool. The security team detained the criminals, but the girls managed to be raped. Now the perpetrators are behind bars, and the park has separate attractions for men and women. Security guards monitor visitors under the guise of ordinary swimmers.

Fall into a black hole

One of the most dangerous water slides is the infamous "The Black Hole" at Wet N'Wild Water Park in Orlando. The park was repeatedly sued in connection with the emergency on this slide. In 2000, a man sued the park for $1.73 million after suffering serious injuries - while he was descending, he was rammed by some unknown object, the poor fellow was thrown out of the lower part of the “Hole” and could not move his legs. The spine was damaged and the victim needed metal plates implanted in his neck. There were other unpleasant incidents: people hit the bottom, each other, and were injured. The descent takes 23 seconds, but the staff sends the next visitor every 20 seconds, which sometimes leads to “accidents”.

Brazilian "hippopotamus"

Beach Park in Brazil is famous for its water slide “Slide Insano Water” - this is one of the tallest attractions of its kind (41 meters - as much as a 14-story building). Those descending this slide reached speeds of up to 105 km per hour, and the descent was so steep that the body barely touched the surface. In this situation, it is very important to take the correct position so as not to injure yourself: you need to cross both your arms over your chest and your ankles. The whole “trip” takes 4-5 seconds, imagine how much adrenaline is released into the blood – not everyone can handle it. Staff often laugh at the people emerging from the bottom of this behemoth, with some visitors breaking down in tears of fear and shock.

Set for a horror movie

In the Spanish city of Benidorm there is an attraction that could easily become the setting for a horror film - once its water was colored with scarlet blood due to a terrible emergency. We're talking about the 33-meter-tall VertiGo water slide. Imagine standing in a capsule at the top, and then a hatch opens underneath you and you are pulled down. What happened? A British tourist entered the capsule, but the hatch did not open completely and the man fell through a small gap, severely injuring his face and cutting his legs. The pool at the bottom filled with his blood, but within ten minutes the slide was working again.

The only indoor attraction

The Sahara Sidewinders Ride is another one of the most dangerous water slides in the world. It is located at the Kalahari resort in the American city of Wisconsin Dells. Gorka is positioned as the only indoor attraction of this type, the first of its kind in America. However, it seems that in new technology they didn’t think of something, because sometimes problems arise here. In 2011, the resort was sued after a teenager was injured on a slide. The trial was won: the victim's lawyers proved that the resort administration knew about the danger, but did not take the necessary measures (there were also complaints before, but they did not reach the court).

When the number of injuries goes through the roof

"Cannonball Falls" is part of the infamous water park"Action Park" in New Jersey, "notorious" for the largest number of injuries in the country. In one season alone, six visitors were injured, with five of them suffering shoulder injuries. The company that owns the park was very reluctant to pay for the treatment of all the victims. A decision was made to close the attraction in September 2015.

Deadly madness

One of the latest horrific tragedies occurred on the Verruckt water slide at the Kansas City water park. This is the highest slide in the world (more than 51 meters). In August 2016, a 10-year-old boy, Caleb, was thrown from a raft and beheaded. This terrible incident is still being investigated. Witnesses claim that they heard an explosion, a scream, and blood began to come out of the bottom of the slide. Caleb was very thin, and many say he should not have been allowed to go down. The name of the slide is translated from German as “crazy.” The crazy ride was closed after the incident - most likely permanently.

Another very dangerous water slide, Speed ​​Slide, is located in the famous Knoebels Water Park in Pennsylvania. At one time the attraction was often featured in local news due to large quantity injuries - girls especially suffered. Two of them (visitors aged 11 and 12) had damaged genitals. The speed of descent is so great that the force and pressure of the water simply tore their insides apart.

Closed after a month

One of the most ridiculous and unsafe water slides was the property of the already mentioned New Jersey “Action Park”. This monster was called "Cannonball Loop". It seems that it was designed without any concern for the potential risks of visitors. And those who dared to take a “trip” on this slide could either be those who were absolutely “crazy” or those who decided to commit suicide. The attraction had the shortest lifespan, closing within a month of opening. And thank God - at least no one managed to die on this monster.
