I absolutely love giant slides at the Indiana State Fair. My 6-year-old and I always ride enjoy going down them. Makes ME feel like a kid again! But there’s a slide at a place called Belle Isle in Detroit, Michigan that’s gone viral because of how fast patrons are flying down it and actually catching some air and tumbling! Was there too much wax on the slide? This thing is insane!! It’s gotten attention from CNN and even ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’. Would YOU ride down it?!?!

Apparently it had been closed down for a couple of years and finally reopened. Authorities scrubbed the slide to ensure a safer ride and it appears all is well again:
