Kansas City set to open world's tallest water slide

[Mook]

You might have heard the rumors that Kansas City is about the receive the world's largest waterslide, but if you haven't seen the new drone-shot video.. you don't know how terrifying it's actually going to be.

The new ride, named, Verrückt, stands at 17 stories high (bigger than Niagara Falls!) and will send brave riders down the slide at 65 miles per hour (faster than my first car!). Did I mention that verrückt means "insane" in German? Because that's pretty much what this ride is going to be.

Verfuckthatshit

I wonder if you'd become airborne on that first hump after the big drop?

 

[wolfe]

Doesn't seem like the sides would be tall enough to keep you in after that hump. If it were in a clear enclosed tube maybe.

That was my first thought. You're gonna go flying off that thing. Tho it mentions 3 friends so maybe you guys are interlocked and that keeps you planted?

I bet yes, there is/was one in the dells that had one that had a dip in the middle and you would get airborne and I remember coming up and feeling like I barley caught the edge to get back in the slide, scared the shit out of me.

Or it adds more weight which would mean more momentum going down it.

 

[Mook]

Ya I dunno. It all seems sketchy as fuck to me Final Destination shit.

 

[radioguy6]

It will probably have a min and max weight requirement to go down. I've been on some water rides that weighed multi person tubes.. but this maybe they interlock you.

 

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

You ride in a intertube that most likely gets "sucked" to the slide to prevent the airborne issues.

Engineering magic.

Pfft a raft? Well thats gay.

Yeah, how are you supposed to walk around for the rest of the day picking your swimsuit out of your ass if you're on a raft?

time the fuck out.

17 stories tall and you have to climb fucking stairs.


OUT

 

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

Yep. At first I was like "that's fucking nuts", then I heard "raft" and "17 stories of stairs to climb" and then thought "well, fuck that, to many stairs!"

I wasnt gonna say anything, b/c its me and its pretty much a given I'd need to be airlifted to the top.

 

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

Can I ride on the intertube conveyer belt to the top?!

[GoldPanther]

I would totally ride that, but I won't travel far for that!
The biggest I tried was the ones in Wisconsin, the park by Hotel Rome (forgot the name, mt.Olympics??)
