World Tallest Water Slide is Taller than Niagara Falls

World Tallest Water Slide is Taller than Niagara FallsWhen the world's tallest water slide finally opens in July it will be, as this first person-angle video shows, be absolutely terrifying. 

The Verruckt, meaning insane, will see its riders drop 17 storeys or 168-foot-tall - further down than if they were jumping off Niagara Falls. 

The opening date at Schlitterbahn Kansas City Waterpark was delayed for a third time by problems with the conveyor system that transports the rafts punters lay on to the top of the slide - it was originally due to open in May - but the park is confident it will be open for business in July.

While the launch for local and national was cancelled, co-owner of the park Jeff Henry compared the experience of riding the attraction 'jumping off the Empire State Building'. He's also said it was 'the scariest thing [he'd] done'.World Tallest Water Slide is Taller than Niagara FallsWorld Tallest Water Slide is Taller than Niagara Falls
