LONDON -- There are already a million reasons to hit up Stratford's Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in east London, from the country's largest urban beach to the massive Olympic pool, the velodrome and Westfield's endless shops nearby.
Now the area is set to get even more fun with the addition of the "world's longest and tallest tunnel slide," snaking down and around the distinctive red Orbit tower.
Measuring around 178 metres and standing 76 metres high, the slide will open next spring and will cost £5 a go (plus the cost of visiting the Orbit itself).
The descent will take around 40 seconds at a speed of around 15mph and there are transparent sections so you can catch glimpses of the park as you whoosh down.
The Orbit, which was designed by Anish Kapoor and Cecil Balmond, is the UK's tallest sculpture, and offers two observation decks looking out across the park. It's previously been used for freefall abseilers too.
