World's longest tunnel slide opens on June 24

World's longest tunnel slide in London is set to open on June 24. the slide which is Designed by Artist Carsten Holler (who installed a pair of spiraling slides at the Hayward Gallery for an exhibition last summer), is 178 meter long (584 ft) helter skelter. The slide is the latest intervention to the 115 meter-tall (377 ft) Orbit, conceived by Anish Kapoor for the 2012 Olympics, following an abseiling attraction completed last year.
People who want to ride the Slide are to note that they must:

Buy a combined entry ticket for the ArcelorMittal Orbit and the Slide,

Select the time that you want to slide,

Be at least 1.3m tall,

Holler says "Since 1999, I have built a number of slides, both free-standing and attached to buildings, but never onto another artwork as in this case,"

 "Now that the two artworks will be intertwined with each other, I see it as one of these double situations that I am so interested in."

The Orbit Tower slide will be made up of 30 sections -- 12 of which are now complete -- and feature 12 turns, including a tight corkscrew twist. It starts at a height of 74 meters and has a top speed of 15 miles per hour, taking 40 seconds to go down.

Tickets for the attraction cost £15 ($22) and include access to the Orbit's viewing platform.
