20. Leap of Faith
The Leap of Faith is located at Atlantis Paradise Island in the Bahamas and is considered to be one of the most breathtaking experiences you’ll ever have.

While your safely enclosed in a plastic tube, this slide will still get your blood flowing!
19. Kilimanjaro
Apparently, this waterslide has a 164-foot vertical drop–it’s so steep that you’re back won’t even touch the slide until you reach the bottom. That’s a whole lot of “no thanks, please”! Located in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, the slide is built into the hillside right outside of the city. We’re not sure this would be our waterslide of choice, that’s for sure.
18. Boeing 747 100
While this waterslide may not contain the same heart-pounding action as others on our list, it certainly gets an ‘A’ for creativity. Built within the body of a modified Boeing 747, this waterslide is definitely a one-of-a-kind experience. Located at the Evergreen Wings and Waves Water Park, we definitely recommend a visit.
17. Verruckt at Schlitterbahn
Located in Kansas City, the Verruckt is currently the world’s tallest waterslide at 168-feet tall. For comparison’s sake, that’s taller than the Statue of Liberty. The ride straps four riders into a rubber raft and sends them plunging down the slide at 65 miles-per-hour. However, due to the unfortunate death of a young boy last year, the attraction has been officially closed and will be torn down once the case is out of the court system.

You may want to pack your anti-anxiety meds.
15. Scorpion’s Tail
The Scorpion’s Tail definitely ranks up there when it comes to the most terrifying attractions in existence. Located at Noah’s Water Park in the Wisconsin Dells, this waterslide shoots the rider down a 10-story drop in a matter of 5-7 seconds. What’s even more terrifying is you don’t know when the drop will take place because you stand inside a capsule at the top of the slide, where the floor gives way unexpectedly. This is definitely an experience that’s not for the faint of heart.
14. Master Blaster
It seems Mayan Temples are the go-to choice for waterslide design. Who would have guessed?

Utilizing water jets that propel you uphill at certain parts of the slide, you’ll have an absolute “blast” enjoying catapulting through the air at record-breaking speeds.
13. Insano
The Insano couldn’t be a better name for this absolutely insane waterslide located at the Beach Park in Brazil. Standing over 14-stories tall, you’ll slide to the bottom at speeds upwards of 65 miles-per-hour. Our hearts are already pounding! The slide once held the world record for the tallest waterslide in the world but was eventually dethroned.
12. Cliffhanger/F5 Twin Sisters
Considered to be the ultimate water slide combo, Cliffhanger and F5 Twin Sisters are located in Texas at the Schlitterbahn Water Park! Whether you want to plummet down an 80-foot drop on the Cliffhanger or enjoy the double-helix rush of adrenaline with the Twin Sisters, you’re sure to scream your guts out on this amazing experience! Personally, we’d be up for a few rounds with those twins!

Overall, this is a great place to enjoy more than one experience that you’ll never forget.

It’s truly a one-of-a-kind experience you have to see for yourself!

If you want to do the hustle while screaming your guts out, the Disco H2O at Wet ‘n Wild, in Florida, definitely fits the bill. An exciting adventure that you and up to four friends can experience together, you’ll toss and turn in an indoor environment to the hottest disco music blasting in your ears. There’s even a light show to get your blood pumping as you belt “Dancing Queen” at high speeds!
3. Woodlands Coaster
Located at the Woodlands at Dartmouth, the Woodlands Coaster is a two-person experience that sends you down the side of a hill at top speeds in a raft. While not a waterslide per say, this coaster is just one of many at this resort. Even better, the rides here won’t have you defying death, so it makes for a more leisurely experience. Sounds like our cup of tea!

This waterslide is located in Germany and offers up a psychedelic mind-bending experiencing that is thrilling, but also unsettling.

Personally, we think this looks slightly seizure-inducing.
