World's Top 8 Extreme Breath Taking Slides

Jumeirah Sceirah at the Wild Wadi Waterpark (UAE)

World's Top 8 Slides

Wild Wadi Water Park is considered to be among the top ten Dubai attractions. It is ideally located in Jumeirah, very close to the Burj Al Arab. Their main attraction is Jumeirah Sceirah, the tallest and fastest free-fall water slide outside the United States. It rises to 33 m (110 ft) with riders getting speeds to 80 km/h (50 mph).

Slide Inside an Airport (Singapore)

World's Top 8 Slides

It can be hard to travel with children, which is why Singapore's Changi Airport was designed to be a family entertainment venue. Among its amenities is a 40-foot tall slide. It's the tallest slide in Singapore and the tallest slide in any airport anywhere. For every $22 spent in the airport, adrenaline junkies (or really brave little kids) get tokens for two rides on the slide. Visitors who don't want to travel at the speed of 19 feet a second, can take a ride down the shorter, one-and-a-half-story tall slide located at Terminal 3 Basement 2, which is free.

Slide Inside a Mall (Canada)

World's Top 8 Slides

World Waterpark is the world's largest indoor waterpark with a size of roughly 30 acres. The World Waterpark opened to public in 1986. It is located in the West Edmonton Mall in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. It has a maximum capacity of 40,000 guests. The highest slides in the park are Twister and Cyclone, which are both 83 feet (25 m) high.

Frozen Slide at Disney's Blizzard Beach (US)

World's Top 8 Slides

Two body slides on the top of Mt. Gushmore offer thrilling, "chilling" excitement at Disney's Blizzard Beach water park at Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Fla. The top slide, at 120 feet high, offers a spectacular view of the Disney property and is the world's tallest, fastest free-fall speed slide.

World's Most Extreme Slide (Brazil)

World's Top 8 Slides

Located in Porto das Dunas, 16 km from Fortaleza, Brazil, Beach Park originated in 1985 out of a trendy beachfront restaurant. In 1989, it opened its water park, the first in Latin America, with three water slides. The Insano is the highest water slide in the world at 41 meters high, a record listed in the Guinness Book of Records. Its height is equivalent to that of a 14-storey building. As a consequence of its height and slope, this water slide provides an extremely rapid descent - taking between four and five seconds - at a speed of 105 km/h. Because of these characteristics, the Insano is considered the most extreme of this type of equipment on the planet.

Leap of Faith Waterslide (Dubai)

World's Top 8 Slides

Luxury resort Atlantis The Palm, Dubai, is "larger than life", even in the context of extravagant Dubai. Like the Atlantis Bahamas, Atlantis The Palm has an Aquaventure water park with a near-vertical waterslide. The Leap of Faith waterslide plunges down from the top of the Ziggurat. The slide finishes in a clear tunnel in the shark lagoon. The Aquaventure area of Atlantis the Palm covers 42 acres (17 hectares), and has a 700-metre beach.

Japan's Tallest Slide (Japan)

World's Top 8 Slides

This slide comes in at an incredible 262 feet in length and is on the top of a mountain with a commanding view of western Kyushu's coastal plain.

Slide Staircase (England)

World's Top 8 Slides

This creative slide next to the staircase was designed by London architect Alex Michaelis at the request of his children. Not only it adds originality but a lot of fun to their new eco-friendly dream home. In the picture, one of the children throwing caution to the wind and diving head first down the slide. According to Michaelis even grown-ups can't resist skipping the stairs. "We've been known after a big dinner party to use the slide”, he said. Creativity, originality and fun, what a perfect combination!

28 Cool & Creative Wooden Creations

Creative Wooden Creations

These classy cars have a beautiful finish, and are wonders to drive. Just be sure they’re not involved in a fender bender, as it would turn to matchsticks and be nearly impossible to fix.

Creative Wooden Creations

Doors, cabinets, and carving boards are the extent to which most people have wood in their homes. Who would ever think to use wood for anything as crazy as making a car? Or as a sculpting medium? These people are out there, and they do some amazing work.

Creative Wooden Creations

Leave it to the Japanese! This wild vehicle was created with a futuristic sensibility. Riding in this car would be a great way to turn heads downtown.

Creative Wooden Creations

The only thing crazier than creating a wooden automobile, is creating a wooden automobile that drives on land and water. These amphibious pieces of art would be a hell of a lot of fun to watch cruising across a lake.

Creative Wooden Creations

These clothes may look comfortable, but they definitely are not. These art pieces must have been truly difficult to create. Do not attempt to take these clothes of their hangars, or the artist will not be happy.

Creative Wooden Creations

Some wooden cars look more fanciful than others, and this variety is well represented above. One can cruise in a truly gorgeous sports car, or chug along in a dinky homemade automobile.

Creative Wooden Creations

When someone mentions furntiure made out of wood, it’s natural to assume they’re talking about a desk, or a cabinet, not a stand with a wooden cloth, or a soft-looking sofa chair made out of pine. Add to that wooden amps, a wooden kitchen table covered in wooden utensils and plates, and you have a truly fantastic setup.

Creative Wooden Creations

Lack metal fabrication skills? Find a tree and get to work! These motorcyclists have created working bikes just fine, out of the most green material available. It might be difficult to find replacement parts, but one can always whittle another one!

Creative Wooden Creations


The variety of wood sculpted creations is mind boggling. From purses to futuristic tanks and weapons of war, wood must be one of the most unusual mediums for this type of work. These creations are far from the whittled figures one imagines when wooden sculpture is mentioned.

Cool Optical Illusion Of Shrinking Cross

David Cherry (whose Unreal Movement Triangles we already covered) created something we haven’t had the opportunity to see for quite some time now. His “animation” effect works flawlessly! In order for you to see the effect in its full glory, I was forced to edit David’s original attachment, yet it’s still available if you click on the picture and open it full size. Am I imagining things, or does the phantom cross really appear to continuously shrink?

Tricky Flying Illusion By A Street Guy!

Ever seen something so dumb, that it’s actually good? If you don’t know what I’m talking about, you obviously missed Evil Dead trilogy, and haven’t seen a single SNL episode. Well, when I opened my mailbox to see some optical illusion trends, I was amazed to see how popular this photo became in such a short notice. It still bugs me, but I decided to share it with you! Could this instead be the most complex magic trick ever? I surely doubt so… Watch how this dude pulls an optical illusion, sort off.
