Slide The City is making waves with inflatables around the world, transforming streets into giant waterslides from Las Vegas to Malaysia.
This summer the mega slip 'n slide embarks on a national tour around Australia, with it most recently taking over Sydney's Centennial Park during the weekend of Jan. 16 and 17.
Stretching more than 300-metres (328-yards) long, punters get to slide down a gentle hill, making the ride a real thrill. The walk up to the top after you slide, not so much.

With a run-up, riders propel themselves down the slide, which is drizzled with soapy water for maximum action. It's a super-sized version of the standard backyard slide, delivering unexpected fast speeds, except on a busy day when the traffic, friction and bumps will slow you down.
We were lucky enough to try it out on a dreary Friday afternoon, before it was open to the public over the weekend.
Each ride lasts around about two minutes, quicker if you get a speedy, clear run down. You'll be tempted to race your mates, which makes us wish there was some sort of timer to track your ride down.
Here's the intense moment I hit the slide, which was captured in slo-mo by Sony's RX100M4 camera, who teamed up with Slide The City:
Unfortunately, you will have to battle a queue when it is open to the public, but it is a helluva a lot of fun, as indicated by the drenched riders walking off with a childish grin from ear to ear.
Slide The City appears next in Perth and Brisbane.
