I love roller coasters, but have never been as enthused about waterslides. There’s something comforting (false or not) about being securely strapped in, as opposed to a thin bathing suit being my only protection against plummeting straight down. Needless to say, I won’tt be riding the Verrückt at Schlitterbahn Kansas City … will you? Watch the video and share below!

Watched the video. My anxiety went through the roof. Short answer- NO.
I would absolutely ride it…once it’s proven safe after a few years of ZERO accidents. Though I’m not sure how many times I’d want to ride it. Did you see how many stairs you’d have to climb???
Not only would I not ride it – I would not climb the tower to even get to the place where you sit. Let’s hope they plan on putting some higher side rails on that…
Lol! Agreed!
I also worry that the slide doesn’t look deep enough for the speeds…I would seriously fear flying off the side.

When Judie, Elana, Kev and I went to Hoover Dam a couple of years ago I totally surprised myself when I freaked out walking across the dam. I knew I didn’t like heights but I had gone repelling in Israel and never expected to totally lose it like I did.
I’d try anything once…
The video says ‘you and three friends’, so I assume there is some thing that you ride.
Would I do it? HECK YEAH! Chris and I would do it … not sure if Danny or Lisa could even watch us!
There is an Oatmeal cartoon that sums up exactly how I feel about this. Sorry for the middle fingers, but NOPE.
You scared me with how violent your reaction was to those heights!
This is 20 minutes from my house, I’ll do it. For science.
Awesome. 😉
Looks like Dan, Carly and Judie will have to watch everyone ride it! Speed doesn’t bother me, but heights destroy me!
Yeah!
Yes, with three other in this!
pics!
Nope Nope NOPE! 😉
