SINGAPORE – From June 7, visitors to beachfront adventure park Skypark Sentosa can ride two new slides standing 44m tall – each roughly the height of a 14-storey building – which is billed as South-east Asia’s tallest dry slide attraction.

Developed through a partnership between travel booking platform Klook and Skypark Sentosa, the new attraction called Skyslides by Klook features a pair of enclosed spiral slides named Skydrop and The Big Klook Slide.

The dry slides have been built around the park’s existing infrastructure, with both slides intertwining around its bungee tower. 

Skydrop is also the world’s tallest land-based drop slide due to its distinct drop-style configuration and ride profile. This is based on specifications provided by the attraction manufacturer, together with a review of publicly available information on comparable attractions globally and within the region, according to Skypark Sentosa.

The U-drop slide – which describes a type of slide with a falling start mechanism – features a near-vertical, free-fall drop at the start. This writer found the ride quite thrilling, especially at the initial drop, when trying it at the media preview on June 3.
