If you’ve ever wanted to know what it would be like to slide off of a 15-story building, a new attraction in Kansas City offers something quite similar. The Verrückt at Schlitterbahn park, dubbed the world’s tallest waterside, stands 168 feet tall and allows people to reach a maximum speed just over 60mph while being strapped onto something closely resembling an air mattress. The opening of the ride has been delayed to the public but when it happens, those 264 steps upward will definitely lead to a memorable experience.
