IF you want a thrill on water, then how about trying the world’s tallest waterslide?
Called RIG 1938, its found at Meryal Waterpark in Qatar.
Having only opened last year, it stands at 85m tall, meaning it currently holds the Guinness World Record for tallest waterslide.
But it isn’t actually one slide – and is actually a structure made up of 12 slides.
Others include The Fractionator, where you can pick your own music as you go down.
This slide also holds a record, being the world’s tallest body slide.
Or there is Vertigo, with a 76m drop, as well as The Broiler which is more like a water rollercoaster with twists and turns
Meryal Waterpark is the biggest waterpark in Qatar.
And if you aren’t a slide enthusiast, then there lots of other attractions to choose from, with nearly 70 in total.
Across the six-acre resort, there are also lazy rivers, wave pools and toddler splash parks.
You can even book a cabana for the day which includes bottles of water, towels and snacks.
For dining options, guests can choose from kid-friendly menus to Italian, Asian and international restaurants.
One tourist said it was the “world’s best waterpark”.
They added: “We love water parks and we have been to Atlantis, Siam Park, Volcano Bay etc … but this place is our number 1.
“Seriously amazing.”
Another agreed, saying: “Fun waterpark for all ages. Crazy slides and very safe.
“The rides were very thrilling. Kids enjoyed it. By far the best waterpark in the world.”
