10 Most Dangerous Water Slides That Will Blow Your Mind
Nothing beats a fun day at the waterpark, unless you’re afraid of heights and break neck speeds. If you
are, I suggest stay away from these ten, especially number one which is particularly terror inducing. Stay
tuned to find out what it is as we bring you 10 of the most dangerous waterslides that will blow your
mind.

Number 10. The Black Hole
The Wet 'n Wild Water Park in Orlando is no longer open to the public, which is a good thing really,
because that means its most notorious water slide is no more as well.
Many of the park's problems revolved around a ride called the Black Hole, which the Orlando Business
Journal described as "a twisting ride where guests shoot down a dark tube on a two-person float." The
Black Hole injured one man in 1994 so badly that he sought, and won, a $1.73 million judgment against
the amusement park in 2000. The man claimed he was struck by something in the dark, and when he
arrived at the bottom of the slide he couldn't move his legs. Doctors had to insert a titanium plate into
his neck.
That was probably the Black Hole's worst injury, but there were others, too — tubes sometimes flipped,
people fell off, tubes were hit by other tubes — and all this happened mostly in the dark, which must
have made it extra-super-sucky. So goodbye Wet 'n Wild and Black Hole, we won't really miss you that
much.

Number 9. The Master Blaster
Standing at a vertigo inducing six stories tall a length of 1000 feet, The Master Blaster has been
unanimously voted the best water ride in the United States multiple times. Calling it an extreme
waterslide is quite the understatement, in fact, on the day that it opened, it fell on a different category
on its own, the water coaster.
Master Blaster combines the up and down thrills of a roller coaster with the unique experience of being
propelled by jets of water. Riders ascend to the top of the Blastenhoff Tower where they find two-
passenger inflatable boats waiting for them. Once in position on the launch platform, they are sent
down a three-story plunge, then back up three stories and into a twisting tunnel. Riders get a brief
glimpse of the tower they just left before dropping once again. Master Blaster continues its course,
figure-eighting around the tower, blasting uphill and down before entering the climatic pretzel-shaped
downward spiral. From start to finish, Master Blaster indeed is non-stop action.

Number 8. The Sahara Sindwinders
Like some of the dangerous waterslides on this list, the Sahara Sidewinders in Kalahari Resorts, Ohio are
now closed to the public and will never, ever be ridden again. This is due to numerous injuries caused by
the waterslide.

As described in their website, the Sahara sidewinder will let its riders experience high speeds and high
thrills as a tube launches down dark tunnels, gathering speed before rocketing into a tight curve around
massive saucer openings. Sounds fun, right? Not if you ask the dozens of people that have been injured
by this thing.
Back in 2012, a family sued Kalahari resorts for allegedly injuring a young boy while riding the sahara
sidewinder. Although the report did not mention what kind of injuries the boy suffered, it did mention
that management was aware of the risks due to prior reported injuries on the slide and did nothing to
improve the safety of the slides.
Due to the numerous lawsuits filed against them, management just decided to shut the slides down.
Good idea for them to quit while they’re ahead.

Number 7. The Scorpion’s Tail
Designed by engineering firm WhiteWater West, the Scorpion’s Tail is the first, and only, looping
waterslide in the US. You start your descent from 10 stories high and travel in high velocity down a 400-
foot pipe. Yes, the pipe really does loop. The loop is 27 feet high and curves at an angle of 60-degrees
and you’re supposed to go around all of it. No belts, no carts, no seats, no nothing – just you, splashing
water and curving walls all around you.
The Scorpion’s Tail uses sophisticated engineering to take you through the loop and down to the pool. A
trapdoor from the tower drops you down a 55-foot chute, where you descend at a steep 70-degree
slope. The near-vertical angle helps you build up momentum to the tune of 50 feet per second, so you
can hit the ascending loop with enough speed to make your way around it. Optical sensors will track
riders throughout the course of each slide, from the moment they drop down till they splash out in the
water below.

I've done Leap of Faith multiple times! The scariest thing is pushing yourself off at the top. You fly through the sharks so fast at the bottom you don't even see them to be honest. If you go on the inner tube ride next to it you slowly ride through the sharks at the end and can see them that way.
