Giant waterslide for SuperStar Virgo

During her scheduled drydocking this month, Star Cruises’ SuperStar Virgo will be fitted with what is believed to be the world’s first stainless steel water slide on a cruise ship.

Costing US $550,000, the 100m waterslide is a product of Wiegan Maelzer, the supplier to water parks worldwide. The waterslide will rise 10.54m above the ship’s deck and have an average inclination of 10%, providing a maximum speed of 7m/sec, together with a spectacular 5m long glass tube at 25m above the ocean.
