Glide Down The World’s Longest Mat Racing Waterslide At Oceans Of Fun In Missouri

Summer's for making memories and indulging in heart-stopping thrills. Sometimes both go oh-so-well together. Take a deep breath; prepare to face the darkness of a tube filled with twists and turns, and zip down the world's longest mat racing waterslide this summer. Then, after you've caught your breath, go on another race, or explore the rest of Oceans of Fun in Missouri.

Worlds of Fun, home to the epic waterpark Oceans of Fun, in Kansas City boasts a full menu of water attractions that are sure to take your breath away.

However, you're in for a one-of-kind experience when you climb aboard Riptide Raceway, the world's longest mat racing waterslide.

Get ready for the thrill of the summer on this epic waterslide that stands five stories above the ground. That's right. You'll zip, at top speeds, down 486 feet, all while in an enclosed tube.

Don't expect a straight shot to the bottom, though. What fun would that be? The slide features winding curves and, perhaps the highlight of the ride, an epic 360-degree loop.

Before you know it, you'll see daylight again just as the crystal clear water splashes around you, perfect for cooling you down and bringing your heart rate back to normal.

Now you just have to decide how many times you'll race down the massive slide.

That's just the beginning of the fun that awaits at Oceans of Fun, which offers attractions geared toward adventurers of all ages - from the little ones to the adults.

If you want to slow things down a bit, head over to the Caribbean Cooler for a leisurely float along the lazy river.

When you get hungry, stop by one of the delicious eateries. All season and daily dining passes, as well as an all day snack pass, are available, so you can stay hydrated and energized all day long.
