Earlier this week, Schlitterbahn Park in Kansas City released heart-stopping footage of The Verrückt, a 168-foot waterslide -- the world's tallest -- that isn't meant for anyone scared of heights, water, speed or...well, fun, 'cause this thing looks awesome.

While The Verrückt is the king of waterslides for now, it's not your only summer option for aquatic summer thrill-seeking. Nothing makes you feel more alive than flying 70 mph straight down by just the seat of your swim trunks. If this is the last ride you take, at least you'll make a splash.

This promotional video doesn't look insane, but the Cannonball Loop at New Jersey's Action Park was only open for a single month in 1985, because too many people got injured on it, and several people died on other rides -- don't worry, though, the park's back this year...with some new safety regulations.
