The Insano water slide is located at Fortaleza Beach Park. It was the first water park built in Brazil in the Fortaleza resort in 1989. Initially, the water park had only three beach slides. Now "Fortaleza Beach Park" is huge entertainment center with an area of ​​180,000 sq. m.In addition to the water park, there are museums, cafes, souvenir shops, conference rooms, Beach Hotel Park Suites Resort 5 *.
But, of course, the main attraction is the Insano water slide, which is 41 meters high! For comparison, this is equal to the height of a 14-storey building, and the descent from it is almost vertical! Only a madman dares to ride from it. Having climbed the hill, you understand what the height of a bird's flight means. You see the beautiful port city of Fortaleza and the extraordinary beautiful coast 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 descending such a tall Insano water slide wants to have videos and photos. When descending, you can watch the video at the point next to the slide and redeem it.

At a height of about 50 meters, the Kilimanjaro has a slope of 60 degrees. This allows you to reach a speed of 100 meters / hour when descending, that is, a visitor who dares to ride this insane slide, rolls down in 5 seconds. In 2014, the opening of the Schlitterbahn water park in Kansas City will take place. Its creators assure that the "Verrückt" slide will be higher than the "Kilimanjaro", and a new world record will be set.

Who among us, having visited the water park, has not dreamed of taking a ride on the longest water slide? To feel even more adrenaline, even more speed and drive. Then you need to visit 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 waterslides in the world! These are Gnu ("Wildebeest") and "Mammoth" ("Mammoth"). They are a crazy roller coaster. Exciting ascents and descents are waiting for you, with drops and turns over 500 meters long. The Wildebeest was opened in 2010, then it was considered the longest water slide in the world. Still, its length was 520 meters! The journey along this slide lasts only 2.5 minutes, but what a! A dizzying flight awaits you at different angles of inclination, you will descend from a height of 20 meters to 12 meters. During the descent, you will find yourself twice in the closed sections of the pipe. For 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 hill was awarded the status of "Best New Waterpark Ride" in 2010.

In 2012, this world record was broken. On May 11, 2012, the opening of the slide "Mammoth" ("Mammoth") took place in the same water park. The length of the Mammoth is 537 meters! This is the longest water slide in the world! A new boat was specially designed for the Mammoth. It is designed for six people. Your flight will last 3 minutes.

Waterpark "Wet n`Wild Water World", which is located in Australia in the city of Oxenford, annually visits more than 1 million people. It is the eighth most visited place in the world! Why is it so attractive for visitors? Could it be that this is the largest water park in Australia? Or maybe because it belongs to the famous film company "Warner Brosers", and is part of the Warner Village theme park, dedicated to your favorite Disney characters.
Or the water park "Wet n` Wild Water World", the name of which translates as "Wild water world", Beckons 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 in order to dare to ride this slide! The creators themselves describe it as follows: “At the beginning of the start, you get into the capsule, the hatch closes, and you wait in anticipation of the unknown. There is a return report 3..2..1. The audience is looking at you somewhere below. Then the floor literally falls under your feet, and you fall from a height of 17 meters! Then you fall into 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 that 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 dead loop was opened in Slovenia in the TERME 3000 water park in 2008. It was one of the most extreme roller coasters in the world!

Describing the most terrifying slides, one cannot fail to mention the shark water slides. United Arab Emirates there is 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. The Tower of Neptune stands proudly above the palm trees. It can be seen from every corner of the Aquaventure water park. It is necessary to climb it in order to ride the super extreme slide called the Leap of Faith - a water slide with sharks. An almost vertical descent awaits the daredevil from a height of 27 meters. The jump from the 9-story building ends with you plunge through a transparent pipe into a pool filled with sharks and rays.
Then you swiftly zip along the pipe in the water where sharks are teeming. Only a thin glass separates you from them! Imagine the range of feelings you experience before descending, looking down at these predatory beauties. Another equally extreme water slide with sharks is located on the other side of the world, namely in America. Las Vegas, the city of entertainment, was built luxury hotel"Golden Nugget" ("Golden nugget") with a pool and waterslide with sharks, which not everyone dares to ride. The slide itself begins on the third floor of the hotel and ends on the first. You go down a closed pipe, then unexpectedly 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 toothy predators that watch visitors. Your descent ends in the pool, some of the walls of which are transparent.
Walking through the park, you can observe one of the most extreme water slides in Japan. Yes, you are not mistaken. The crazy roller coaster in Japan ends underwater. The shouts of joy from people, a huge column of water that rises up when the coaster touches the surface.

The waterslide, called the Vanish rollercoaster, was opened in 1999 in Japan. During this time, several million people have ridden on it. At just 700 yen, you will experience the most memorable roller coaster ride only in Japan, Japan's most extreme pink water slide. You see her in the photo. Pay attention to its length.

The total length of the slide is almost a kilometer. Just imagine the speed with which the descent occurs, if it takes less than 2 minutes to overcome this distance! First, you will experience dizzying turns of a roller coaster, and then ... at an angle of almost 45 degrees you rush swiftly towards the water. It descends only when the last visitors are hiding under the water. Only later you find out that the coaster has descended into the tunnel, the splash turns on automatically, and people who dared to ride on the most unusual water slide in Japan did not even get wet!

But you must admit how beautiful it is! Especially in the evening, when the Vanish rollercoaster waterslide is illuminated with colorful lights! Against the backdrop of the towering 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 tallest skyscraper in Japan, then pay attention how the CosmoWorld park looks from a height of 296 meters. Impressive rides look tiny and not scary at all from this height.

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!
