6. Rocket explosion in Pennsylvania Park, USA

A ProSlide ride called Rocket Explosion opened at a park in Erie, Pennsylvania.

It was later pushed back to 2022, then pushed back again to 2023 before it finally opens.

Whitewater's Furious Waters is a high-threat slide complex featuring and Loop. Guests first climb into one of two rooms at the top of the tower, where a trapdoor opens beneath their feet.

Side-by-side racing slides are very popular this year and our next entry is the Mega slide at Rapids Water Park in West Palm Beach, Florida.

This ProSlide creation shows off all the bells and whistles, with slides in a twin raceway racing each other through enclosed twists and turns, through high-speed straights with low walls so they can taunt each other before jumping off and jetting back up again on the water Explode forward, then into more twists, high-speed saucer turns and low-wall straights before finally reaching the finish.

It sure sounds incredible… but the only problem is that the project isn't open yet. Its construction was announced in September 2022. So far, there have been no updates on any progress.

11. Express slide in Ingolstadt, Germany

Ingolstadt opened a fun two-lane racing slide called Speed ​​Pipe this year. Choose a red or yellow slide and race your opponents to the bottom, first across individual enclosed slides and then racing side by side along the partial wall between the two slides.
