The world's first rotating water slide, known as the SlideWheel, is located at Chimelong Water Park in Guangzhou, China. Opened in 2018, this massive, 24-meter-tall engineering marvel combines the mechanics of a Ferris wheel with the thrills of a water slide. The entire structure rotates continuously while four-person rafts are propelled through a tangled mess of fiberglass tubes, creating a unique sensation of weightlessness and oscillating G-forces as the tubes shift position around the riders. The SlideWheel is also famous for its integrated light show, featuring over 700 square meters of LED panels that illuminate the Guangzhou skyline at night. For those in the Western Hemisphere, the first rotating water slide in the United States, called Medusa's Slidewheel, opened in 2022 at Mt. Olympus Water & Theme Park in Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin, utilizing the same groundbreaking technology to bring this "perpetual motion" thrill to North American audiences.
