In this episode of Xtreme Waterparks, titled "Slip Slidin' Away," viewers are taken on a whirlwind tour of some of the most impressive and thrilling water parks in the world. From giant wave pools to colossal water slides, this episode has it all.
The episode opens with a visit to Noah's Ark Waterpark in Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin, which boasts the world's largest bowl ride. The ride, called Raja, features four-person tubes that drop riders down a 45-foot slide before sending them spinning around a massive bowl. The force of the water sends riders high up the sides of the bowl before plunging them into the center and finally shooting them out into a pool below.
Next, the show heads to Tropical Islands Resort in Brandenburg, Germany. The resort features the world's largest indoor water park, complete with a beach, wave pool, and multiple water slides. Viewers are particularly impressed by the park's "Turbo Slide," which is over 60 feet tall and propels riders at over 40 miles per hour.
The episode then takes viewers to the Aqualandia Water Park in Benidorm, Spain. Known for its extreme water slides, the park features a slide called "The Vortex," which sends riders down a steep drop and through a giant funnel before shooting them into a pool below. The slide is so thrilling that even the show's host, Jeff Tremaine, is nervous before taking the plunge.
Another highlight of the episode is a visit to the Atlantis Aquaventure Waterpark in Dubai, UAE. The park features over thirty water slides, including one called "The Leap of Faith," which sends riders hurtling down a 9-story drop before shooting them through a shark-filled tunnel. The park also has a massive wave pool and a lazy river that winds through a replica of an ancient temple.
The show also takes viewers to The Wave Waterpark in Dublin, California. The park's most popular attraction is a slide called "The Devil's Punchbowl," which features multiple drops and loops before sending riders plunging into a deep pool. The episode concludes with a visit to Wet'n'Wild Hawaii, which has a slide called the "Tornado," which swirls riders around a massive funnel before dropping them into a pool.
Throughout the episode, viewers are treated to stunning footage of the water parks and their attractions, as well as interviews with park managers and designers. The show also includes plenty of tips and tricks for travelers looking to visit these parks themselves, including insider information on when to go and how to avoid long lines.
