| WORLD LONGEST TUNNEL SLIDE BY PEACE NEWS REPORTER |
(PEACE NEWS)You can now buy tickets for the world's tallest and longest tunnel slide at London's ArcelorMittal Orbit Tower.
Artist Carsten Höller -- developing on an initial proposal by Bblur Architecture -- has designed the 178 m-long (584 ft) helter skelter, set to open on 24 June. The slide is the latest intervention to the 115 meter-tall (377 ft) Orbit, conceived by Anish Kapoor for the 2012 Olympics, following an abseiling attraction completed last year.
"Since 1999, I have built a number of slides, both free-standing and attached to buildings, but never onto another artwork as in this case," says Höller, who installed a pair of spiraling slides at the Hayward Gallery for an exhibition last summer.
