‘Ride the Slide’, a brand new hair-raising experience at the ArcelorMittal Orbit!
Experience the twists, turns and drops of the world’s longest and tallest tunnel slide as it weaves its way through Anish Kapoor’s iconic red sculpture.
Enjoy breath-taking views of up to 20 miles across London from the ArcelorMittal Orbit’s two viewing galleries before experiencing an exhilarating 40 second descent in the 178m long slide. Travel through light and dark sections at speeds of up to 15mph as the slide loops its way around the sculpture 12 times taking in gentle curves, thrilling drops and a tight corkscrew named ‘the bettfeder’ – bedspring in German.
The viewing galleries are accessed by two high speed lifts and provide stunning panoramic views across 20 miles of London. Innovative screens allow visitors to learn about key sights across the capital from The Shard and St Paul’s to Canary Wharf and the world-famous sporting venues of Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. There’s also two incredible mirrors created by one of the sculpture’s creators Sir Anish Kapoor which flip and twist the horizon.
After leisurely taking in the views and experiencing the thrilling ride, visitors are encouraged to walk down the 455 steps which spiral around the central column so they fully experience the constantly changing perspectives from every angle.
The ArcelorMittal Orbit has full wheelchair access.
Please refer to The Slide Terms & Conditions before buying your tickets.
