The starting point of the slide is an observatory with a height of 76 meters. Starting from this observatory, where you can see up to 30 kilometers away, you slide down while repeating a total of 12 turns. Inside the turn, there is a corkscrew section named "Bed Spring", and you can enjoy the power like a roller coaster while bouncing (?).
