Are you a lover of strong emotions? Well, we recommend that you do not miss anything we tell you today! And then we are going to talk about some of the slides most spectacular on the planet. And don't think it's due to its length! The surprising thing about this attraction is that it is made of glass and located more than 300 meters high. Yes! Yes! As you are reading it!
So, today we are going to talk about Skyslide, an amazing slide that has recently opened in Los Angeles. Would you like to discover more details? Well you know what you have to do! Do not miss anything we tell you below!
At about 300 meters high
As we were saying, today we are going to talk about a slide only suitable for the most daring and not recommended for people with vertigo, since the Skyslide goes down from the 70th floor to the 69th, that is, it is about 300 meters high. Of course, its height would not be so important if it were not because the slide is made of glass, making it completely transparent. Would you dare to jump for it or would you rather do it for the one located on the largest cruise ship in the world?
Able to withstand earthquakes and hurricane force winds
The Skyslide slide is located at the US Bank Tower in Los Angeles, United States, and is surprising for its apparent fragility. Of course, there is no need to worry, since the glass is very resistant. In fact, it is designed so that it can withstand earthquakes and hurricane force winds. And since the length is short (only 14 meters), the route does not last long, so the least brave will have a hard time for a very short time. Of course, do not think that jumping down the slide is gratuitous. The price of each drop is $ 25, although it should be borne in mind that a visit to the OUE Skyspace LA, a spectacular viewpoint that we will talk about below, is included with the entry.
OUE Skyspace LA
As we just mentioned, the descent down the most chilling slide in the world also includes a visit to the OUE Skyspace LA, an observation deck located outdoors, offering 360-degree views. It is located at the top of the building and is considered the highest observation deck in all of California. From here you can get some views panoramic from the San Gabriel mountains to the Pacific Ocean, and glimpse emblematic places such as Dodger Stadium or Catalina Island. In addition, it must be borne in mind that this space is surrounded by gardens, art, culture, restaurants, shops and entertainment venues.
An interactive digital space
We also have to talk about Digital Interactive, a space that will have a wide variety of elements designed so that visitors can enjoy a dynamic technological experience. Thus, for example, they offer Digital Topography Wall of Los Angeles, a wall that will offer information about monuments, neighborhoods and other points of interest in the city. We also want to highlight the Infinity Mirror and the Silhouette Wall, a wall that uses pixels to create images based on body movement. Then we leave you with our Gallery, where you will find more images of this spectacular slide. Before, if you want, you can take a look at the video that we show you under these lines. Posted on YouTube by the ABC television channel, it shows different people jumping down the slide. Do not miss it!
