00:00It's a hot and humid morning here in Dubai, but it's a good thing we're at World Wadi
00:08to try the new and improved Jumeirah Scarer.
00:11It's actually not one ride, but two.
00:13They've taken down the old Jumeirah Scarer and put in a terrifying two Jumeirah Scarers.
00:18The ride lasts about seven seconds.
00:19I'm really nervous and I don't scare easily, but let's see what we've got in store.
00:27Here we go.
00:57We're opening Jumeirah Scarer and we replaced our old Jumeirah Scarer and the major difference
01:22with the old speed slide is that you started laying down.
01:25So you laid on your back, crossed your arms, crossed your legs and then descended the 120
01:30meters to the exit.
01:31The big difference is the three, two, one drop floor entrance, where you start standing
01:35up and there's a drop floor after the countdown, which releases and you're traveling at speeds
01:41of about 80 kilometers an hour on a 70 degree angle for about 10 meters before it starts
01:46to flatten out.
01:47And then again, at the exit, there's another big drop.
01:49So that's the big difference.
01:51And instead of having one, now we have two, so you can bring a friend.
01:54We've done hundreds of test rides, incident-free, despite the screaming that you hear in the
01:59background.
02:00Listen, it's scary.
02:01It makes people nervous.
02:02But in terms of safety, we're adhering to the highest international standards with well
02:07reputable companies that design these slides and install them all over the world.
02:11It's fun.
02:12It's something you've never done before, whether you want to ride on your own and experience
02:15something different or whether or not you want to see somebody do something different,
02:18because it's a lot of fun to watch and to listen and to see the anticipation build up
02:23for people who are contemplating riding the slide.
02:25Amazing.
02:26It's so good.
02:27It's such a thriller.
02:28I actually feel this is better.
02:29Yeah, this is better.
02:30A lot better.
02:31This is great.
02:32I love it.
02:33It's more surprising.
02:34When it starts counting down, you're just there and you're like, no, I don't want it
02:35to go.
02:36But then when it goes, it's just absolutely amazing.
