What is the weight limit for the Royal Caribbean waterslides?

The Slingshot waterslide 60 feet Max single person: 300 lbs./ Total raft weight limit: 550 lbs. The Twister waterslide 60 feet 48 inches minimum (42” with a swim vest or if accompanied by an adult) Max single person: 300 lbs./ Total raft weight limit: 400 lbs.



On Royal Caribbean ships in 2026, weight limits for waterslides vary depending on the specific attraction, but there are general standards across the fleet. For the Perfect Storm series of slides (like Cyclone and Typhoon), the maximum weight is typically 300 lbs (136 kg) per person. For tandem or multi-person slides like the "Tidal Wave," there is often a combined weight limit of roughly 450 to 550 lbs. On the more extreme slides, such as Daredevil’s Peak at CocoCay (the tallest in North America), there is also a minimum weight requirement—usually around 100 lbs (45 kg)—to ensure the rider has enough momentum to complete the circuit. These limits are strictly enforced for safety to prevent riders from getting stuck or traveling at dangerous speeds. Height is also a factor, with most thrill slides requiring guests to be at least 48 inches (122 cm) tall. Always check the safety signage at the entrance of the "Thrill Island" or pool deck for the specific requirements of that ship's hardware.

Gravity pulls the rider toward the Earth, helping to speed up their trip down the waterslide. Of course, friction also plays a part. Whether a person rides down the slide on their backs, a mat, or an intertube, the contact causes friction. This can slow the rider down.
