Top 5 Insane Water Slides


What better way to cool off on a sweltering summer day than to enjoy thrill of a waterslide? I'm not talking about a backyard slip-n-slide, or the neighborhood pool though. What I have in mind is way more exciting. All across the world - even here in the states - the most intense, and terrifying waterslides can be found. Here are the Top 5 most terrifying water slides in the world!!


5. Tantrum Alley, Dubai 



Start off this slide by climbing into the 4-person raft, go through the first tornado to get your speed up. Then there is a downhill drop, followed by another tornado. Add one more downhill drop, and tornado and the slide is over.


4. Città del Mare, Italy 


We know some of the best stuff comes from Italy, Olive Oil, Wine, etc. So naturally, they said no more sliding into a pool. At this resort, hewed from the rugged and gorgeous Sicilian coast, you can ride a series of waterslides into the very Mediterranean itself


3. Big Thunder, Florida 

So many of these rides are solo experiences. Big Thunder puts you and three of your closest friends in a clover-shaped raft before sending you all down a rumbling, dark tunnel, and shooting the raft out and up the sides of a broad funnel.


2. The Cyclone, World Waterpark, Canada


First, climb down into this capsule. Then we’re just going to suddenly yank the floor out from under you, sending you plunging straight down before shooting you through a loop. Good luck. 

1. Insano, Brazil 


You don’t have to speak Portuguese to understand what they were getting at when they named this slide the Insano. From 1989 until 2014 it reigned as the "World's Tallest Water Slide" at 135-feet  tall!
