Germany: AquaMagis Opens World’s First Standing Slides

In June, Germany’s waterpark AquaMagis, located in Plettenberg, North Rhine-Westphalia, scheduled the opening of its newest attractions, two “standing slides” delivered by Klarer, for July this year (cf. EAP News from June 5, 2015). Recently, the slides were finally handed over to the visitors. Users of the “SauerlandSURFER” for beginners and the “CrazySURFER” for advanced slide surfers have to be at least twelve years old and 1.40 meters tall. “We are happy that the two standing slides are finally open to visitors and that a brand-new slide feeling can be experienced. A few smaller amendments and an optimization of the processes are still necessary but visitors will not be affected by these measures. Guest can from now on slide as much as they like,” AquaMagis’ operating manager Martin Roth says. The waterpark now offers a total of twelve slides.
