Beat the heat and catch some air this summer at this Texas waterpark that's making a big splash with its giant water slide that actually shoots riders straight up into the air.
Located at the BSR Cable Park in Waco, Texas, the 'Royal Flush' water slide features three separate runs that each have a different type of ramp located at the bottom. Riders can choose which slide they prefer that will launch them to varying degrees of height up in the sky and ultimately into the pool.
The truly adventurous, who pick the largest ramp run on this giant water slide, are given plenty of time to pull off any flips, tricks or rolls they can muster and they shoot into the sky and up to waterpark glory.
