Kuwait NEEDS: Largest Water Slide Event

Photo Courtesy to Live More Awesome
Having the largest/longest water slide would be amazing. The current record is held by a 600 meter inflatable slide down in West Auckland slope (New Zealand). Since the whole slide is inflatable, it is set up just for 3 days and that also for charity. Below one can see the POV (First Person Point of View) video of a person sliding down in New Jersey USA (CLICK HERE).
Due to the nature of the slide being inflatable, the setup is temporary and can be set up at any appropriate location - definitely with safety in mind.

During the summer months and the months before and after are really the time when people jump into the sea or swimming pools. A lot of people have pools in their backyards or beach houses. So having a long Water slide will be a different experience. People staying in Kuwait may have accessed Aqua Park which is next to Kuwait Towers in Dasman. It is one of the most popular Water Park in Kuwait.

Indoor Surfing Wave Machine / Surf Simulator is as the name suggests a surfing simulator which can of course be used 24 / 7 throughout the year without any dependency on the weather outside. I am sure there are many in Kuwait who know surfing and if this opens up then it will definitely help in giving them better experience and also encourage many more youth to take up surfing.

Wave Loch Inc. is a surf ride manufacturing company responsible for such water rides as the FlowBarrel, FlowRider, Flying Reef, Surf Pool and Wave House franchises. Look below for varieties of Surfing Simulators.

It would be nice to see a Vertical Wind Tunnel or Indoor Skydiving Tunnel in Kuwait. Right now the nearest ones are in Dubai & Abu Dhabi. Kuwait might have a good market for it and might lead to other related events like sky diving. The best thing is that even kids as young as 3 can do indoor skydiving.
