Slide Melbourne
Be the first to experience the biggest street slide in the world.
Overview
Okay, Melbourne. Slidestreet gave you a trial run, now you're ready for the big time. This local startup, Slide Melbourne, is promising you the biggest street slide in the entire world. Just like its predecessor, this blissful creation will be lining Lansdowne Street alongside Fitzroy Gardens. Unlike its predecessor, it measures up at a whopping 400-metres in length.
Though there were initial concerns about the group obtaining a permit from Melbourne City Council, with less than a week to go, it looks like all systems are now go. The three-lane slide is due to be christened on Sunday, February 15 with a second session already scheduled for Monday, March 9. For $40 you can guarantee yourself a two-hour session of fun from either 10am, 12pm, 2pm or 4pm.
Even better, Sunday's weather is forecast as a slide-worthy 32 degrees.
If you've missed out on tickets for this one, get ready for a road trip; Slide Melbourne will be taking on Ballarat on March 1 and tickets have only just gone on sale.
