Nothing says summer quite like a rollicking water slide. And nothing is more rollicking than this one.

Soak in this first-person account of the Verruckt, which, at 168 feet, seven inches, is the tallest water slide in the world. You can find it at Schlitterbahn Waterpark in Kansas City.

Sadly, the ride isn't open to the public yet, which is a crying shame, seeing how we're in the thick of summer. There have been some issues, but it is expected to open sometime in the next week.
