Longest waterslide
Even if a make-shift installation, if you want to know about the most giant waterslide in the world, you will have to look into Waimauku, New Zealand. This is the place that witnessed the installation of the longest water slide, and it was a 65-meter long slide breaking the 350-meter length of the previous slides. However, presently, it is shifted and housed in Action Park, Vernon, New Jersey.
The second-longest waterslide is in Costa Rica, which measures approximately 400 meters, where the rider also gets an inner tube for safety.
Water slides can also accommodate more than one person. So, the longest water slide in that category is 537 meters long in Santa Claus, Indiana.
