What is the highest water slide in Europe?

Captain Spacemaker The tallest water slide in Europe is the 138-foot Captain Spacemaker at Aqualandia Park in Jesolo, Italy. Located 30 miles northwest of Venice, guests don't need a gondola to experience this fun water park.



As of 2026, the title for the highest water slide in Europe belongs to Verti-Go, located at the Aqualandia water park in Benidorm, Spain. This attraction features a massive 42-meter-high platform (roughly 137 feet) from which riders can choose between two slides. The tallest of the two is the 33-meter (108-foot) red capsule slide. Riders enter a transparent pod, and after a tense countdown, the floor drops away, sending them into a near-vertical freefall. Riders can reach speeds exceeding 100 km/h (62 mph) in just a few seconds as they plunge toward the splashdown pool. For comparison, the slide is equivalent in height to a 13-story building. It surpassed the previous record-holder, "Kilimanjaro" in Italy, through its innovative "trapdoor" launch system which maximizes the sensation of gravity. To ride Verti-Go, guests must meet strict height and weight requirements and climb over 200 steps to reach the summit, which offers a panoramic view of the Benidorm coastline before the terrifying descent begins.
