That looks crazy, but fun!

Oh My Skytower! Tube slide or body slide?

It said with 3 of your friends, so I'll assume tube.

The stairs sure will be the best part!

That is alot of stairs to climb. A good way to get American into shape.

I can't wait to maybe see a mega sized water ride. Could you imagine 200+ foot slide...that's intense

So is this the world's tallest or highest water slide?

That looks crazy. The stairs would suck.

I honestly want to see a POV from the park on this slide. I'd never ride it, so virtually would be okay!

One thing about the stairs, it doesn't look like you'd have to carry your tube up them with the belt on the side.

Well, maybe the stairs won't suck that much, given how slowly riders will likely be ascending them. I remember when "Tazmanian Typhoon" opened 10 (!!!) years ago, the stairs on that comparably stubby attraction seemed formidable, only to realize that it was really just a "vertical" queue line, with all its wonderful, trademark slowness.

I learned of this months ago, and have been keeping up with it ever since.

The slide itself is huge for any standard, it is definitely pushing the limits.

On a side note, there's a blog about this standards idea here: http://coaster-net.com/blogs/428-the-waterpark-revolution/

It's not finished yet, being part 1, but still a good read for the mean time.

Imagine getting to the top and being told you can't ride...or having to use the bathroom!

You'd go on the way down the slide!

Hence, brown colored swimwear in case number one or two
