Ysc3 Twincharged June 24, 2019 Share June 24, 2019 The Escape Theme Park in Penang is going to have the world’s longest water slide. Measuring 1,140m long, the waterslide is already 80 per cent complete, and is expected to be ready by next month. The theme park’s chief executive officer Sim Choo Kheng, said: “It is expected to be the longest in the world, longer than the water slide in New Jersey, USA, which is 602m long. “It can go into the Guinness Book of Records. “It is a challenge to build due to topographical factors and lack of machinery. “It is expected to open to the public in early August after a security check is carried out,” he said, after a site visit with chairman of Penang Development, Heritage, Culture and Arts Committee chairman Yeoh Soon Hin on Sunday (June 23). Visitors will slide down from the hilltop and cross Jalan Teluk Bahang to the suspension bridge and end up at the water theme park. The hilltop is also the start of other rides such as luge (sleds down the hill), zip coasters and sliding tubes. The theme park already has a 300m long water slide that was launched last year. Mr Sim said a 400m long cable car ride with 30 seats would also be completed at the same time as the water slide. “The cable car connects between the foothills and the water slide. “It is unique as it goes through the jungle,” he added. The theme park is listed in the international holiday assessor site, TripAdvisor. ↡ Advertisement 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watwheels Supersonic June 25, 2019 Share June 25, 2019 (edited) 1km?? fall asleep half way and drown how? You will also go down in record for being the first person to fall asleep and drown on the world's longest slide. Jokes aside. Confirm a lot of ppl will give up after the first try. Imagine gotto walk up like a kilometer(maybe less with the spiralling here and there) to get back to the start point. Oh ok got cable car to get back up. Queue for the slide then queue for cable car to get back. LoL... Edited June 25, 2019 by Watwheels 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

13177 Supersonic June 25, 2019 Share June 25, 2019 1km long slide and take 4 mins+ to reach the end point? Is this slide open design or closed design? Imagine if closed design, if the person got stuck half-way down inside, how? And people behind all continue sliding down! 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TameDriver Twincharged June 25, 2019 Share June 25, 2019 I think they have to implement minimum & maximum weight & sizes to ensure smooth rides. Too light,may loose momentum or fly off the slide. Too large size, may get stuck. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spanly 5th Gear June 25, 2019 Share June 25, 2019 Typically the life guards controlling the slide will only release the next person when the one in the slide safely reached the end of the slide. For this super duper long slide, i wonder how the control will be... can't be waiting for almost 5 mins to release the next person & the queue will surely piled up.. but if releasing half way & indeed got people stuck somewhere along the slide will leads to potential collision Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
