Check out the thrilling world’s tallest waterslide in Qatar

Qatar has broken the record for world’s tallest waterslide for its “Vertigo” ride in the Icon Tower at the new Meryal Water Park in Lusail.

Meryal Waterpark on Qetaifan Island North in Doha, Qatar is itself 1,700,000 square feet and has also broken the world record for the tallest waterslide in the world. The Icon Tower contains 12 different rides (the most in a single tower) on six different levels and stands at a record 260 feet tall. Visitors can take an elevator as far up as the fourth floor and then the stairs from there.

On the sixth level, you’ll find the world’s tallest waterslide, “Vertigo”, which is a body slide with a trap door dispatch that sends you down the tube at 33 miles per hour speeds. The height difference between the start and the runout lane is 250.5 feet.
