The Escape Theme Park in Penang, Malaysia has several attractions, including luge sleds, waters slides, zip lines and obstacle courses, catering to adventurous visitors who want to connect with nature.
Come August 2019, they will also be home to the world's longest water slide.
More than 1km long
The water slide, when completed, will measure at an impressive 1,140 m (or 1.14 km) in length, with a height of 70 m.
The current Guinness Book of Records record holder, the New Jersey water slide is 605 m long.
What makes this particular slide unique is the fact that it's built within the forest, without the aid of heavy machinery that may damage the surrounding flora and fauna.
