BUENA VISTA GUANACASTE WATERSLIDE - COSTA RICA
Four hundred meters of solid concrete fun, the Guanacaste Eco-Slide of the Buena Vista Lodge is the world’s longest waterslide and one of the few that requires a helmet. Details on the Eco-Slide are oddly hard to come by (the Buena Vista Lodge’s “Frecuently Asked Questions” page is empty) but information on the rest of the sustainable eco-tourist resort paints a picture of a scenic if unconventional mountain getaway, including a guided tour of the regions twenty varieties of huge, deadly snakes.
Given that the eco-slide is an open-air chute through the jungle, you might well have a chance to see those snakes during your slide as well.

Who writes this stuff? "crude sleds or carts featuring cruder brakes and (if you’re lucky) seatbelts." Hello? What good do seatbelts do on a "vehicle" that masses less than you do? Just guarentee that your sled comes flying with you (adding to you mass), rather than go flying off course by yourself!

In fact, one was a woman on the Lighting (uncertain if she jumped or fell), and the one attributed to the Cyclone was a man who decided to stand up and take his coat off (showing stupid customers are not a modern convention, though "idiot stopper" restraints are). Hardly attributable to the design or construction of the ride.
