The World's Tallest Waterslide

That thing looks scary. Especially since that is supposed to be for a 4 person raft.

nope nope nope

Of course someone had to add in the comments of this article the slide from Action Park with the 360 degree loop. I was actually wondering if the creator of this slide thought that one up.

O.M.G.
that is a tad bit high!
that too reminds me of when I went skydiving!

Thanks for the link to the Action Park video. My parents took me there once...once being the key word because after they saw the place they weren't bringing me back. Was a fun day. I do remember riding the Alpine Slide. It was really cool and I have honestly thought about being able to ride it again. What the guy in the video failed to explain is that once the rider sat on the sled the brake was engaged. Only when you lifted the handle did the wheels connect to the track. If you lacked the strength to basically lift your body weight then the brake was by default applied. I am sure that half way down the mountain muscles grew tired, the handle wasn't lifted as high so the sled lowered (lifting the wheels into the sled) and the brake was on. Think of airplane wheels retracting into the nose of the plane.
