Verrückt waterslide
The world's tallest waterslide opens tomorrow - it's the "Verrückt", at the Schlitterbahn Waterpark, so you know this is all happening in Germany Kansas City.
Scary infographic showing you how tall it is

Its opening has been delayed a few times now, so I'm feeling REAL confident about it. Seriously though, they've been testing it this week, and it looks like it's good to go.
"Verrückt" is German for "insane."
I've watched a couple of videos, and I'm not getting much of a scare factor from it. Maybe I need to see it up close. If my health permitted, I'd probably ride it.

It's apparently making news around the world...that's cool.
Just last week, the Steelhawk opened at Worlds of Fun, which may actually be more insane than Verrückt due to its history: http://www.kansascity.com/living/article669939.html

Zwei questions: What do they do with it in the winter and what happens when a tornado comes thru? Ewwuu, Ich habe keine trousers.

The Verrückt is insane; therefore, it will fight the tornado.

I'd go down this thing in a New York (or rather, Wyandotte County) minute...but I'm not walking up 600+ steps to do it.
