Zip through the sky on Kalahari’s new outdoor slides

You could hang out in a cabana or frolic in one of Kalahari Resorts’ outdoor pools. But if you want to add a splash of adrenaline to your getaway, there are five thrilling new slides at the 200,000-square-foot outdoor water park. Even die-hard thrill-seekers can get their fill from the Extreme Rush — which starts with a near-vertical shoot when the bottom falls away and plunges you into a 360-degree looped tunnel — or the Stingray, where the two-person raft navigates a tunnel and hill before catapulting into a funnel and catching zero-gravity feelings. “The extreme drop and the rush and the G-forces and the negative gravity — that appeals to some people,” says general manager Brian Shanle. “The centripetal force creates an amazing sensation as you ride.” Don’t worry, there’s shuffleboard or that cabana to calm your nerves. 7000 Kalahari Drive, Sandusky, 419-433-7200, kalahariresorts.com
