Slide Inside an Airport (Singapore)
It can be hard to travel with children, which is why Singapore's Changi
Airport was designed to be a family entertainment venue. Among its
amenities is a 40-foot tall slide. It's the tallest slide in Singapore
and the tallest slide in any airport anywhere. For every $22 spent in
the airport, adrenaline junkies (or really brave little kids) get tokens
for two rides on the slide. Visitors who don't want to travel at the
speed of 19 feet a second, can take a ride down the shorter,
one-and-a-half-story tall slide located at Terminal 3 Basement 2, which
is free.

slides. The Insano is the highest water slide in the world at 41 meters
high, a record listed in the Guinness Book of Records. Its height is
