Will you ride the world's tallest water slide?



Now, this is one terrifying water wonder located in Kansas City, Schlitterbahn water park. With a name like Verrückt, which is German for insane, what do you expect?

Although the launch date has been pushed back again and again, The Verrückt has finally started testing with real, live humans. Measuring 168 feet and 7 inches tall, it's slated to be the new world's tallest water slide after the 134.5-foot tall "Insano" slide in Brazil.

It is taller than The Statue of Liberty and Niagara Falls. Thrill seekers are expected to climb up 264 steps to get to the top of the 17-story slide. It has a high speed of 65 miles per hour, and you must be velcro strapped into a large raft when you ride it. 

I don't know about you but for me, I have no business being on The Verrückt in my lifetime:)
