The World's Tallest Waterslide: Absolute Insanity

I saw this yesterday. It is insane! No way would I ever ride it.

 

Not if you put a gun to my head!

 

Agreed. Just pull the trigger, cause I'll die of a heart attack if I ride it.

 

I'd ride that. I loves me some scary rides.

 

Ill do it, I don't care.

 

You go down in a tube I'm assuming? Otherwise there could be some serious butt-burn

Also, there's a large chunk of the population who can't even climb 17 stories haha

 

Not a chance in hell. I've done my share of heights while working on lighting systems. And having mis-stepped more than once and having that "falling" feeling, I won't do anything that gives me that feeling by choice.

The stairs around the side make me nervous. 17 stories up with just a little rail on wet steps. I don't foresee things going well.

 

The finished slide better have some higher sides

 

That's what I thought. I see major liability issue here. The stairs alone look like an accident waiting to happen when it comes to rambunctious and reckless kids.

 

Oh I'm sure they'll make you sign some insanely long release that absolves them of all responsibility even in the case of gross negligence on their part.

 

It looks cool as hell. I'd do it in a second. But then again I'm crazy

 

Somebody is going to go off the side of that thing within a few weeks of it opening...

 

no thank you, if i need a thrill ill go on a roller coaster where you aren't sliding with no restraints.

 

At first when I heard "worlds tallest water slide in Kansas City" I thought "Oh, cool, I may have to drive across Missouri and check that out sometime!" then I actually watched the video. No thank you.

 

I would ride it once for sure. Man would the adrenaline be such a rush.

 

Why the **** didn't Schlitterbahn New Braunfels get this?!!!

 

The Vultu….err… the Lawyers are standing by!

 

does this compare to the looping waterslide? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Nw68VNOYb8

i think the anticipation of waiting to get dropped would be terrible!

 

If you remove the letter "l" from the name of the water park, you'll get a better idea of what people will do when they're on this slide. "Clean up on ride 7!"

 

The World's Tallest Waterslide: Absolute Insanity

I thought h2ohno was tall enough... Now this!! I would love to go down this!

 

Challenge accepted. I would go on this any day.

 

Mah, summit plummet at blizzard beach is 120 feet (what's that 12 storeys) and reaches 60mph.

I have been on that and it wasn't too bad.

I would have a crack at this.

 

It's not quite a waterslide. More of a ride because they advertised "you and 3 friends." That means you are going on a detachable sled.

At least they have a conveyor belt carrying the sled up, and you don't have to drag it up all the way like the snow version.

 

I would SO get stuck on that thing. Story of my life.
