Schlitterbahn Announces Opening Date for Verrückt!

The wait for the world's tallest water slide is finally coming to an end. Schlitterbahn announced just a few minutes ago that Verrückt will be opening this week. How soon? Well, how's Thursday strike ya?!

Yeah, that's only two days from now and in less than 48 hours visitors to Schlitterbahn Kansas City will have the chance to brave the insanity first hand. Really didn't see this one coming, but recent human tests have gone well enough that they can open.

Here's the word from the official Schlitterbahn Twitter account:

On our way to Kansas because..... VERRUCKT IS OPENING THIS THURSDAY! SURPRISE! 🙌🎉🎈

Let's hope that nothing happens to delay things yet another time (fingers crossed), and that the opening goes off with out a hitch. Can't make it for the opening? Here's a little POV of what the 168'7" beast is like to ride!

World's Tallest Drop Ride - Zoomanjaro: Drop of Doom - Opening Announced!

After a bit of a delay, the folks at Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson, New Jersey have announced that their record breaking drop ride, Zoomanjaro, will open this coming weekend!

Yep, that's right, for those brave enough to take the 415ft plunge at speeds of 90mph, your wait is almost over.

On Friday, July 3rd, the ride will be open for a preview event that is limited to Season Passholders. Then, on July 4th, it'll be open for everyone to experience the insanity of it all.

The ride, attached to the support structure for the world's tallest and fastest roller-coaster, Kingda Ka, should definitely be one helluva experience for all those who are brave enough. Here's to hoping that high winds don't keep this one closed like they can Kingda Ka at times.

Curious of what it'll be like? We got ya covered. Here's POV from one of the recent test runs that Six Flags Great Adventure!


While we're not sure if we'll be making it to Six Flags Great Adventure this year, we'd love to hear of your experience on Zoomanjaro if you do go. Comment and let us know what you think of it and of your ride if you do go!
