Remember the good old days when you’d head to the playground and see how much speed you can pick up when going down the slide? We’re here to tell you that those good old days are still alive and well.
Though it seems like it’s just for kids, Slick City Action Park is a playground in Columbus that’s fun for all ages! Even Grandma can relive her childhood adrenaline-junkie years. Sure, she probably shouldn’t go down the slides that literally launch you in the air (more on that in a minute), but there are plenty of fun (and safe) slides that awaken your inner child.
These Aren’t Your Average Playground Slides
If you took all your wildest wishes as a kid for what the slides at your playground looked like, Slick City brings them to life.
Seriously, these aren’t your everyday slides.
Take the Mega Launch slide, for example. This slide towers over the rest of the facility, with a 70-degree drop angle that literally launches you in the air. You’ll get serious hang time before landing softly on a massive pad. You won’t believe how wild it is until you try it yourself.
There are also “Fast Lane” racer-style slides where you can see which of your friends are the fastest, as well as the Royal Flush which, like the name suggests, is similar to a toilet bowl, letting you go round and round until you fall through the middle onto a pad.
Consider this your unfair advantage in Columbus.
