Seventh Tallest in the World
Hurricane Tower holds #7 on our ranking of the tallest water slides in the world — taller than any water slide in the Americas or Europe. Only Qatar’s 250-foot Meryal twins, Brazil’s Kilimanjaro, Türkiye’s new Land of Legends pair and its Chinese twin Hurricane stand above it. The North American record holder, The Fall at Mt. Olympus in Wisconsin Dells, is 2.6 ft shorter.
The 45-meter height is no coincidence: it matches Hurricane at Merry Pi Beach Park to the meter, built one year apart at opposite ends of the country during China’s mid-2010s water park construction boom.
