Ah, the slide. What a simple, yet so incredibly entertaining thing, especially for kids. Despite being one of the simplest attractions amusement parks offer, often times they are one of the most popular, as it is with York’s. While everything else typically has no wait at all, this generally has a modest wait of about 5 minutes, the longest of anything in the park. Well, it’s pretty much due to the attraction’s popularity among kids, as they can’t get enough of this slide, as they run right back in line usually immediately after their ride. So is it worth the wait for adults? Not really.
I will say this though that the park takes pretty good care of their slide. Sporting a vibrant, hot pink paint job, the slide seems to be in great shape, which should be the case since its one of the park’s newest attractions, replacing the park’s older, inflatable slide. And I will say that this is definitely an upgrade over the original slide for sure.
Really my enjoyment of these carnival slides is dependent on the sheer speed I can attain, which generally is dependent on whether or not the park has recently waxed their slide. This one is a fairly mediocre slide in my opinion even despite the park’s frequent waxing of it. For some reason no real speed is ever achieved leading to the humps on the way down being rather tame and not intense at all.
York’s Super Slide is a mediocre version of a really simple attraction. While it does look great and is popular amongst kids, it really isn’t all that good in my opinion thanks to the slow speed achieved on the way down. Really this is a passable attraction during your visit to York’s since it’s nothing special like some of their other attractions.
