These are the 10 craziest water attractions in the world

Water is an incredibly exciting element, especially since eighty percent of us humans are made up of it. Seas, lakes, rivers? they are always places of fascination, but also of fear. We have a fewWater attractionsselected that are in the same vein.It couldn't be worse!

Some of the attractions listed here are harmless and some are dangerous, so if you have the opportunity to travel there and try them out, please take care!

The pool at Bondi Beach in Sydney is one of the most beautiful and spectacular swimming pools in the world. What makes the pool so special: It was literally built into the sea, which means that thunderous waves regularly crash over the edge of the pool into the pool? It is therefore logical that the pool is not chlorinated, but rather a salt water pool. The pool is always a little colder than the sea, which is pleasant in the Australian summer, but it can get chilly in Sydney in the winter. But the swimmers from the local swimming club don't care. The Bondi Icebergs swim here all year round, even when water temperatures are below 15 degrees. But it's even worse: There are stories about sharks landing in the pool during storms and having to be fished out again. We assume that the swimmers in the pool subsequently swam the best time.

A pool that is also only for adrenaline junkies is the one inThe Joule Hotelin Dallas, USA. It protrudes almost three meters from the building, giving you the feeling of swimming over the edge of the hotel into nothingness. The pool is on the tenth floor, meaning if you crashed down there it would be a long flight but a short life. But that certainly won't happen, because the glass is of course extra thick and is considered shatterproof (but wasn't that what was said at the time about the AquaDom disaster in Berlin?!). The pool is certainly an attraction, which also explains the price of a day ticket: you have to shell out a whopping forty dollars for it.

Action Park was an amusement and water park in Vernon, USA, which closed in 1996. Although it was initially considered one of the most modern water parks in the world? Was it built in 1978? and attracted numerous adrenaline junkies, but it also quickly had a bad reputation: inadequately trained and far too young employees, drunk employees and guests, and poorly designed rides led to a poor safety record, which gave the park the nickname "Accident Park". brought in. At least six people died in the park and countless others were injured? especially in the so-called Cannonball Loop, a water slide with a loop that was only in operation for a single month in 1985. Why? The luckier ones just scratched their backs, others fell while looping from above, and the worst part: at the end of the slide there was no pool, just a wet mat! For people from New Jersey, Action Park was still something you had to visit at least once in your life. To this day, emails go around saying, "You know you're from New Jersey if you've been seriously injured at Action Park at least once."

It is probably the most dangerous natural pool in the world: the Devil's Pool in Zambia on the Zambian side of Victoria Falls. You are exactly 108 meters high when you lie in the pool from which the water cascades down the rock face? something that you should never, under any circumstances, do without a guide! Because people have already fallen to their deaths from the natural infinity pool? especially since swimming in this pool is only possible for a limited period of the year when the water level is low. Otherwise, you can write your will straight away.

The US Las Vegas is known for its strangeness and the pool at the Golden Nugget is definitely one of them. At first glance, the round pool looks quite ordinary, but it is not. Because in the middle there is an aquarium full of sea creatures? including some sharks. That's not all: The pool also has a water slide and it leads directly through the aquarium, so you can practically slide through the sharks. If that's not awesome, we don't know what is!

Speaking of sharks: Diving with sharks in appropriate cages is already intense enough. But in Australia you can also go diving with crocodiles at Crocosaurus Cove in Darwin. The trust-inspiring name of the spectacle:Cage of Death. The name is misleading, because strictly speaking it is not a cage, but a glass cabin that initially hangs over the crocodile enclosure before being lowered into the water so that you can get very close to the crocodiles. As a rule, the crocodiles are also fed in order to have as much blood-dripping action as possible? and to distract from yourself. The whole thing is pretty uncool.

The world's largest infinity pool is located in Singapore, more precisely: in the 5-star resort Marina Bay Sands. It is a gigantic platform that stretches over the tops of three different skyscrapers and offers a bird's eye view of the entire city. The Marina Bay Sands is particularly famous for its extraordinary infinity pool, which protrudes about seventy meters from the northernmost tower, 57 floors above the ground. Of course, the "infinity" in the pool is just an illusion, you can't really swim over the edge, as the pool boundary is on the other side, directly under the water surface. Still, you get a sinking feeling in your stomach when you jump into the pool.

Do you like water slides? Really?! Then you probably haven't been to the Brazilian Beach Park Insano in Fortaleza. According to the Guinness Book of Records, the slide there is the highest water slide in the world. You slide down from 41 meters, which is roughly the height of a 14-story building. But don't worry: the torture only lasts four to five seconds because the slide goes down so steeply that it feels like you're jumping? no wonder at speeds of over 100 km/h. Crazy.

Another water park, another slide: that one tooScorpion's Tailat Noah's Ark Waterpark in the Wisconsin Dells is an absolute attraction and only for the toughest among you. This is the first almost vertical water slide in the USA, where you can literally touch the ground under your feet. uh ? the bottom loses. And as if that wasn't bad enough, does it then go into a loop? violent!

Similar to the Golden Nugget in Las Vegas, you can also slide through sharks at Atlantis Paradise Island in the Bahamas. from a twenty meter high replica Mayan tower. You have to come up with an idea like that first. The whole thing is titledLeap of Faith. We think that's pretty crazy. And you?!
