[WATCH] Belle Isle Makes Changes To Its GIANT SLIDE After It Goes Viral For It’s Wild Ride

Have you seen the footage of kids getting DESTROYED on a giant slide over on Belle Isle?

It’s only funny because no one got seriously hurt. But they certainly could have . . these poor people are being launched in the air.

(A Detroit rapper named Gmac Cash posted a track called “Giant Slide”, and someone paired it with footage of kids getting demolished.)

The slide has been there since 1967, children around Detroit and some Windsor folks would climbed 40 feet into the sky overlooking the the Detroit river into Windsor to brave its metallic fury in a burlap sack.
It closed in 2020 and just reopened with a fresh coat of wax.  Kids AND parents were going so fast, they’d ramp off each one and land really hard. So it had to be shut down a few hours after it re-opened.
The videos of it started blowing up after it was mentioned on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” this week. And now a SONG about it is making the rounds too.

Officials scrubbed the surface of the slide to slow it down, and now it’s open again. A video on how to properly ride it has also gotten millions of views.
