World’s Tallest Waterslide Is Your Summer Rush

Nothing says summer quite like a rollicking waterslide. And nothing is more rollicking than this one.

Soak in this first-person account of the Verruckt, which, at 168 feet, seven inches, is the tallest waterslide in the world. You can find it at Schlitterbahn Waterpark in Kansas City.

Sadly, the ride isn't open to the public yet, which is a crying shame, seeing how we're in the thick of summer. There have been some issues, but it is expected to open sometime in the next week.

Meantime, KATS' Kelly West has some alternative vacation ideas for thrill-seekers. Check her post from a few weeks ago.
