Discover the highest water slides in the world

When talking about water slides, everybody thinks not only about having fun in the water, but also to bewildering experience, breakneck speeds and high altitudes. The Spanish newspaper ABC created a top of the highest water slides worldwide, inviting brave tourists worldwide to visit them.

The highest water slides in the world set themselves apart from the rest of the pack with record-setting slides, one-of-a-kind attractions and theme park-like water rides.

Verrückt Kansas City (USA) is ranking the first place of the top. Verrückt is the tallest water slide in the world and dominates the skyline at our Kansas City Schlitterbahn. Adventure seekers will be able to share this experience as they strap into a 3 person raft that will slide down a jaw dropping 168 foot 7 inch structure, only to be blasted back up a second massive hill and then sent down yet another gut wrenching 50 foot drop for the ultimate in water slide thrills.

On the second place of the top there is "Kilimanjaro", Barra do Piraí (Brazil). Before "Verrückt" gained the title of the highest water slide in the world, this record was owned by "Kilimanjaro" in Aldeia das Águas Water Park Resort, located in the town of Barra do Piraí in Brazil. "Kilimanjaro" won the 2013 title of the largest water slide in the world confirmed by Guinness Book. It has a height of 49.9 meters and a descent speed that can reach 100 km/h with an inclination of 60 degrees.

"Insano" Fortaleza (Brazil) gained the third position of the ABC top. Insano is located in the Fortaleza Metropolitan Region in Brazil, in the tourist complex Beach Park and is one of the most impressive waterslides in the world. "Insano" is 135 feet tall - 40 meters. Those who dare to embark on this slide can reach a speed of 105 km/h, covering the entire route in about 5 seconds.
