What country has the biggest waterslide?

Located in Barra Do Pirai, Brazil, Kilimanjaro is the world's tallest waterslide opened in 2002. The water slide focuses on creating this thrill without safety as an expense.



As of early 2026, Brazil holds the record for the world's tallest waterslide. The Kilimanjaro slide, located at the Aldeia das Águas Park Resort in Barra do Piraí, stands at a staggering 49.9 meters (approx. 164 feet) tall. Riders on this free-fall body slide can reach speeds exceeding 100 km/h (62 mph) as they plummet down a 60-degree slope. While it remains the global champion for height, it faces competition from other massive slides like the Hurricane Tower in China (approx. 148 feet) and the Thrillagascar in New Jersey, USA, which is the world's tallest indoor waterslide at 142 feet. Another notable contender is Daredevil's Peak in the Bahamas, which is the tallest waterslide in North America at 135 feet. However, Brazil's Kilimanjaro continues to be the ultimate benchmark for vertical drop on a body slide, utilizing the natural terrain of a hillside to safely achieve its record-breaking height and providing a terrifying thrill for visitors from around the world.
