Clearly , someone over atMt . Olympus Water ParkinWisconsin Dells , Wisconsin , is quite hold with Grecian mythology . If the name of the park was n’t enough of a giveaway , the green ’s most late announced waterslide is a dead giveaway .

In case you were question which US water slide currently holds the honor of our land ’s tallest , agree tothe folks at WaterSlideDatabase.com , that would be Thrillagascar & Jungle Jammer at the DreamWorks Water Park in East Rutherford , New Jersey . That drive stands 142 feet magniloquent , three foot inadequate than The Rise of Incarus is coiffe to stand .
