10 Coolest Water Rides of 2015

Here are the 10 coolest water rides of 2015. When it comes to cooling off on a hot summer day, nothing beats getting soaked on a water slide. Here are the 10 most thrilling water slides of 2015.

Number 10. Verrückt. Verrückt has the distinction of being the tallest water slide in the world. Located in Kansas, riders are strapped into three-person rafts before whizzing down the nearly 169 foot tall structure. The co-owner of the park likened the ride to ‘jumping off the Empire State building.’

Number 9. Zero-G. The world’s tallest and only double-looping water slide is at Action Park in New Jersey. Zero-G’s 100 foot-tall drop carries riders through a chute and two helix loops before releasing them into a landing pool 15-seconds later.

Number 8. Colossal Curl. New to Florida’s Adventure Island this year, the Colossal Curl sends up to four riders at a time on a clover-shaped raft through numerous turns before ending up in a half-pipe that causes the feeling of weightlessness.

Number 7. Scorpion’s Tail. This water slide at Noah’s Water Park in Wisconsin boasts being America’s first to have a nearly vertical loop. In order to ensure the safety of its riders, the slide is equipped with computer controlled sensors that make sure there’s enough water and momentum to propel a rider through the upside down parts.

Number 6. Wildebeest. Deemed the world’s number one water park ride by ‘Amusement Today’ magazine, Wildebeest can be found at Holiday World’s Splashin’ Safari in Indiana. It’s also the second longest water park ride on Earth, covering more than two acres of land.

Number 5. Mammoth. The world’s longest water coaster is Mammoth, also located at Holiday World. It towers seven stories at its highest point, and sends riders frontwards, backwards and sideways through numerous pitch-black tunnels.

Number 4. Family Boomerango. Asia’s largest water park, and one of the most visited in the world, is China’s Chimelong Water Park. It’s home to the Family Boomerango, a group raft ride that sends guests through a tornado-like slide at high speeds.

Number 3. King Cobra. King Cobra, located at Six Flags Great Adventure in New Jersey, is five stories tall and features a cobra head meant to “swallow” riders as they slip and slide back and forth in its mouth, water gushing from its fangs.

Number 2. Walhalla Wave. According to The Travel Channel, the Walhalla Wave at SeaWorld San Antonio has the tallest wave wall in the world. Riders sit in a clover-shaped tube and whizz through a 720-degree corkscrew spiral and a surprise 50-degree drop.

Number 1. Mile High Flyer. At Water World in Colorado, the Mile High Flyer was added in 2012 at a cost of $4.5 million. The state-of-the-art thrill ride has a 1000-foot-long track and a 360 degree loop.
