Measuring 200m (656 feet) in length, Cyclon also features a huge vortex tunnel measuring 20m (65 feet) in diameter.
Simulating the feeling of zero gravity, passengers whizz down the slide from heights similar to a 12-storey building (36 metres) on a four-seat raft.

With passengers hitting speeds of up to 37mph (60kmph), riders also face twists and turns before plummeting through the end.
Guests can now try it for themselves, having opened last month to the public for the first time.
Aqualandia is also home to the highest capsule slide in the world, Verto-Go, measuring 33m height (108 feet).
