<div id="urb-ads-toc-box" class="post-ads-toc-box urb-ads-toc" style="display:none;"></div><p>Experience monumental sculpture like you never have before with a new 15-story tunnel slide that spirals around London&rsquo;s ArcelorMittal Orbit monument, set to be the world&rsquo;s longest. The UK is really pushing its public art to the next level by adding a record breaker to a record breaker, as the sculpture already holds the title of tallest in the nation. The slide wraps around the sculpture 12 times, and it takes forty seconds to get from the very top to the bottom in a trip through the tube.</p>

<p>Opening to the public on June 24th, 2016, the Carsten H&ouml;ller-designed slide features both opaque and transparent sections so riders get brief glimpses of the London skyline before plunging back into darkness. A tight corkscrew section snakes its way around the red geometric structure, ending in a straight run to the ground. The slide&rsquo;s total length is 584 feet.</p>

<p>London erected the strange and rather controversial ArcelorMittal for the 2012 Summer Olympics, offering panoramic views of the city from its location in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.<a href="http://arcelormittalorbit.com/whats-on/the-slide/"> Tickets for the attraction are already on sale </a>for &pound;15 ($22), with a limited number available each day, and you can book more than one ride at a time.</p>
