8 Tallest Water Slides in the World

Adventure seekers find it hard to stay at the four corners of their homes, they always seek for something interesting to try. One thing to look at is amusement park rides, which would give you a spike of adrenaline. But today, there’s actually way more than crazy roller coaster rides.  

 If you’re looking to up your ante, there are theme parks scattered all over the world that house some of the tallest water slides globally. Here’s a quick peek of some of them:

Verruct Water Slide (Kansas City, Missouri, USA)

Since 2014, Kansas housed the tallest waterslide in the world. Standing at about 168 feet, its starting point is even higher than Niagra Falls and its raft, which fits three persons, would run 45 miles per hour. Sadly (or not), adventure junkies won’t get to experience this in the future as it’s scheduled to close after a 2016 accident.

Kilimanjaro water slide (Mato Grosso, Brazil)

Situated within the state park of Águas Quentes, Kilimanjaro is just a few feet shorter than Verruct at 164 feet. It is built on a side of a hill, which helps achieve that height and provides the added safety as well. Rumors have it that your body won’t actually touch the slide’s surface until you reach near the bottom part because of its steepness..

Insano Water Slide (Fortaleza, Brazil)

Situated within the Beach Park, a tourist resort in Brazil, Insano is a body slide that would pull you into 65 miles per hour nose dive. This means, there is no raft to ride on, just you, plummeting onto the 135-feet slide. The ride ends with a four-second drop and a splash into the swimming pool.

The Scorpion’s Tail Water Slide (Wisconsin’s Dells, Wisconsin, USA)

With Verruct stricken off the list of U.S.-based junkies, Scorpion’s Tail can be another option. It is situated in Noah’s Ark Waterpark in Winsconsin, which is considered as the largest park in the US. What makes this body slide unique is the fact that you don’t need to pull yourself to descend, but its mechanism will. You just have to stand on the platform within the capsule and the platform will plop, forcing into the quick 400-feet fall into the encapsulated slide.

Jumeirah Sceirah Water Slide (Dubai, UAE)

For those who find US too far a destination, there’s also Jumeirah Sceirah in Dubai as an option. Situated in Wild Wadi Waterpark, Jumeirah Sceirah has a similar scheme with Scorpion’s Tail, wherein the floor where you’re standing would collapse to begin the 102-foot journey at a speed of 80miles per hour.

Free Fall Kamikaze Water Slide (Algarve, Portugal)

The Free Fall Kamikaze is a 104-foot tall water slide built in 2015 in the Aquashow water park. You’ll get a roller coaster-like kind of fun with the loops of this slide. The journey of the entire trip is at 70 kilometers per hour for a 423 feet long of fun.

Leap of Faith Water Slide (Atlantis Paradise Island, Bahamas)

If the mere act of falling from a really tall slide is just easy for you. The Leap of Faith may test your guts. Located in Atlantis Paradise Island in the Bahamas, the vicinity is definitely a paradise and gives you the adventure you need with the 60-foot vertical drop. The added challenge is, jumping in despite the fact that you are actually submerging into a shark-filled body of water. Yes, sharks. You’d remain safe though as you will still be in a tube enclosement underwater.

Cliffhanger and Screaming Serpents (Galveston, Texas, USA)

In Schlitterbahn Water Parks, there are two options for adrenaline junkies. It’s either you take the Cliffhanger and enjoy the 81-foot drop, or opt the Screaming Serpents, which will give the additional immersive experience that even adds special sound effects. I don’t know about you, but I think the better option is to try both.

The Plunge Water Slide and Pool

Summer time is coming and it means one thing and one thing only- keeping the kids occupied and out of your hair for a bit so you can actually enjoy the warm weather. And what better way than to turn your backyard into a mini-waterpark with the Banzai The Plunge Water Slide? The Plunge Water Slide and Pool What makes this one different than all the other water slides we’ve covered over the years? The giant pool at the bottom! It’s like getting a water slide and an inflatable pool in one package.
the plunge back The Plunge Water Slide and Pool
Other inflatable water slides have a small pool at the bottom for landing, but The Plunge has a 12 foot diameter splash pool at the bottom. Great for those kids too small to climb up the 9’6″ tall water slide. The whole thing comes with a blower and inflates in under 3 minutes. It uses both stakes and a pair of water-filled (40lbs worth) anchor bags on the sides of the slide to keep it firmly in place. With a 120 pound weight limit on the slide, it’s super summer fun for kids of a wide range of ages. Take the plunge!

Monorail! Wham-O Monorail Water Slide

monorail water slide Monorail! Wham O Monorail Water Slide
As my good salesman friend Lyle Lanley once told me, everyone loves a monorail (except maybe Marge Simpson). But what if we combined a monorail and a slip n’ slide? You’d have the Wham-O Mono Rail Water Slide Monorail! Wham O Monorail Water Slide. That’s extreme. An extremely odd combo that actually looks pretty cool and fun to slide down. I hear they are super popular in North Haverbrook.

World’s Biggest Backyard Water Slide

worlds longest waterslide 650x460 Worlds Biggest Backyard Water Slide
The Wahii WaterSlide 75 Worlds Biggest Backyard Water Slide claims to be the world’s biggest backyard water slide. And at 75 feet long by 12 feet wide, it just might be- obviously discounting homemade ones. That’s some next level slip n’ slide action. I love this real world in-use photo they’ve included with the product description on Amazon:
waterslide on hill Worlds Biggest Backyard Water Slide
That is ridiculously steep. And where is that going to? I’m no engineer but it looks to be a bit short of the river by my calculations. Or maybe they want to land on concrete. Who knows? Hopefully you’ll use a bit more discretion when you set this up in your own backyard (but not too much!)

Blast Zone Crocodile Isle Inflatable Water Park and Slide

blast zone crocodile isle 650x269 Blast Zone Crocodile Isle Inflatable Water Park and Slide
This is one of the largest inflatable waterslides we’ve ever come across. The Blast Zone Crocodile Isle Inflatable Water Park Blast Zone Crocodile Isle Inflatable Water Park and Slide measures 22 feet across by 14 feet deep- that’s bigger than my apartment. Kids climb up the crocodile’s foot and then slide down either the croc’s snout or tail into the large lagoon. You can even fill it up with play balls:

A sprayer on top of each slide keeps them wet. It blows up in less than a minute with the included blower. There’s enough room in the inflatable pool for all your kids (unless you’re the Duggars then no, but Octomom- go ahead they’ll fit). Check out the video of kids playing on one:

It’s the best of both worlds- a large inflatable pool and waterslides. That definitely looks like fun for kids and great for parents to sit by, relax, and do their thing while the kids are occupied.

(for that kind of money you’d think there’d be a larger image to post, but no)
But it’s totally worth it just for the look on junior’s face as he slides three stories in fear down your $50,000 slide into your held-together-by-duct-tape 10 foot diameter above ground pool. So maybe it’s more aimed at summer camp directors and Facebook millionaires than regular people with big backyards, but hey one can dream, right?
