The scariest water slides. The tallest water slide higher than Niagara Falls The most extreme water park slides
It’s summer, it’s hot, I really want to relax, soak in the warm gentle water, enjoy summer vacation and just relax. Residents of cities, and especially megacities, rarely go to the sea or river on their day off, so there remains one more simple and accessible option - a water park. A cozy pool, special slides, relaxation for the little ones and extreme entertainment for adults - who would refuse such a cool pleasure in the sweltering heat?
Modern water parks are creating increasingly dangerous entertainment for those who like to tickle their nerves, but even among this exciting and frightening variety, certain options can be distinguished. Few people will be able to overcome their fear when going down these slides, because this is really for those who want to get a sea of emotions, an ocean of pleasure and pamper themselves with a tsunami of adrenaline. But they are rightfully called the most terrible water parks in the world, and now you will find out why. You might want to visit one of these exciting places and enjoy all the services on offer.
Fifth place "Jump up"
The Atlantis water park is located in the Bahamas and is famous for one interesting water slide. It can be compared to jumping without a parachute directly into the mouth of sharks. And the most amazing thing is that this is practically true. The descent initially does not foretell trouble, but the moment you enter the water you find yourself in a glass pipe that goes straight into the pool with sharks. Not only is there more than five meters of water above your head, but these beautiful and dangerous predators are circling around the glass pipe. The adrenaline level after such entertainment should skyrocket. However, the queue for the slide is not decreasing, but rather becoming even more popular.
Fourth place "Scorpion's Tail"
The Noah's Ark water park offers no less exciting and interesting entertainment for those who want to tickle their nerves a little. This is located wonderful place in America, it is notable for its sharp vertical cliff, and it is simply impossible to predict it and prepare mentally. You, along with the frantic pressure of the water, will simply rush down at a stunning speed, and then the dizzying current will simply carry you around in a circle, taking your breath away with delight and fear. Well, for a snack, you fly out of this pipe with great speed in a dizzying turn, and the pool takes your mortal body into its hospitable embrace.
Third place "Wildebeest"
This wonderful water park is among the top scariest water parks in the world, thanks to its dizzying roller coasters. Surprised? Engineering thought came up with such a miracle when water slides turned into roller coasters. And you can ride on them, too, with whole groups, and when a stream of seething water carries you through dizzying turns, descents and ascents, it is quite difficult to maintain composure and keep your emotions inside. Such entertainment will tickle your nerves no worse than a real roller coaster, and perhaps even more so.
Second place "King Cobra"
Surprised unusual name? The slide also looks completely unusual; riding it is like kissing a king cobra. The entire slide is made in the shape of a snake, and you can ride it on small inflatable rafts. Just a couple of dizzying turns of the pipe and you fly straight onto the cobra’s hood, where it’s not so easy to stay on. If you push harder at the start, you might even be able to pull the cobra's fangs, because it's so exciting.
First place "Madness"
And crowning the top of our list is the scariest water park in the world, or rather the scariest slide in the world - “ Beach Park", and it is considered the highest slide in the world, it goes down almost vertically and riding it is a real Brazilian madness. Only the most courageous brave souls can afford to slide down, and the descent will only take about 5 seconds. You will fly through this slide at a speed of over one hundred kilometers per hour. Just imagine this figure and realize that this is more than the permissible speed limit for a car in the city. The experience is truly breathtaking, adding vibrant colors and lifelong memories. The main thing is not to go crazy from such an adrenaline rush! Just a joke, of course. But it’s really worth visiting this place and enjoying the madness on offer.

3. Steel Dragon 2000, Nagashima Spa Land, Kuwana, Mie Prefecture, Japan
The Steel Dragon is no longer the fastest or tallest coaster, but it is still the longest. It is also the most expensive ever made due to the amount of steel used in its construction to make the coaster earthquake resistant. But, even if we don’t take earthquakes into account, this monster definitely deserves its place in our top ten.
4. Kingda Ka, Six Flags Great Adventure, New Jersey, USA

The Citta del Mare hotel has three slides right on the slope. Going down them, you can linger in one of the three pools, or you can slide straight into the Mediterranean Sea.
Where are the scariest slides in the water park and what are they? They are truly amazing and unusual. Some of them are listed 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 Fortaleza Beach Park water park, which stretches over 180 thousand square meters.
It is as tall as a 14-story building, and you will have to fly at almost a 90-degree angle. Or rather, fall. For those who are not afraid of its height and climb 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 fell in five to six seconds.
Here you have the opportunity to look at your emotions when you come to your senses. Anyone can purchase a video of their unprecedented flight.
The Brazilians hold the lead. The largest slides in the water park exactly in this country. They also have the highest slide in the world, Kilimanjaro. She beat her predecessor by 9 meters. And its height is almost 50 m.
This wonder of the world is located near 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 just 5 seconds he will reach the finish line.
"Mammoth" in the USA
If the Americans did not take the height, then in length they have a clear superiority. The Holiday World and Splashin’ Safari water park is famous for its longest slides. There are two of them here. “Gnu” stretches for 520 meters, and “Mammoth” for 537 meters.
They are descended on inflatable boats. It will take you two and a half minutes to move out. Steep descents and ascents, unprecedented turns and several flights in closed spaces await you.
When “Mammoth” was opened, an inflatable boat was specially made for it, which could comfortably accommodate six people. 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 loop
The loop is famous for the “Wild Water World” (that’s how “AquaLoop” is translated), which is located in the Australian water world “Wet`n` Wild Water World”. Those who dare to descend will be wrapped in a loop not once, but four times.
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 down a slide and end up in a pool infested with sharks and stingrays. You can see them perfectly, just like they can see 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 location of such an unusual descent is worth visiting here. The slide with sharks was located on the first artificial “Palm Island”.
“Leap of Faith,” as the name translates, 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.
There is a similar slide in Las Vegas. It was built at the Golden Nugget Hotel. It starts on the third floor and lands on the first. You will also rush past sharks that calmly swim very close by.
"Vanish rollercoaster"
In Japan, this slide was built in the fantastic water world park “CosmoWorld”. The length of this extreme is one km, and the descent takes only 2 minutes. The “train” with vacationers rushes along the steep turns of the water attraction, and then abruptly dives into the water.
It actually goes into a hole in the pool. When the “locomotive” approaches, a fountain turns on, which creates the illusion that everything is going under water. It turns off after the last person descending dives into the hole.
At the same time, people don’t even get wet. And from the outside everyone is sure that they have plunged headlong.
And other frightening, terrifying
In Spain, the King Hajuna coaster was built in honor of the Hawaiian legend. It is not that high - only 31 meters. A descent at an angle of 55 degrees will occur at a speed of almost 60 meters per second.
Just the name of the descent in Spain is scary. Devil's Fall is 29 meters high but has the steepest drop of any coaster in Europe. A little more than 60 degrees - so you have to fly down.
You will be invited to get into the mouth of a 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 ride ends with a fall into a hot spring.
Spain has the highest mountain with free fall. A hatch opens under the vacationer’s feet, and then you simply fly along a chute 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 slightly lower price.
In Australia, the 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 turbulent stream of water. Lots of unexpected turns that will end with a quiet landing.
A man on a slide in Italy reaches speeds faster than a racing car. The height of “Stukas” is 30 meters. Approximately 10th floor of the building. Not all visitors, after going up, decide to descend.
A slide for miniatures 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 people are not allowed here. “Booster Loop” is a circular slide that will raise your adrenaline, provided that your weight is no more than 50 kg. Those who weigh more are not allowed to enter.
