It opened in 2015 — one year after Kansas City’s Verrückt reset the world record, and squarely in the era when parks around the world were racing to build ever-taller slides.

Sixth Tallest in the World
On our ranking of the tallest water slides in the world, Hurricane sits at #6 — above every water slide in the United States and Europe, and behind only Qatar’s Meryal twins, Brazil’s Kilimanjaro and the new 2026 pair at Türkiye’s Land of Legends. For scale, it stands 2.6 ft taller than The Fall at Mt. Olympus, the current North American record holder.
It also has a near-twin: Hurricane Tower at 88°C Spring Water World in Xianyang opened a year later at an identical 45 m, giving China two slides at exactly the same record height.
