A water park in Michigan has the state's only "launch water slides".
Water Warrior Island water park at Bald Mountain State Park in Lake Orion introduced three "Warrior Whoa Slides" last summer.
Each is 30-feet high. Sliders zip down at an approximately 75-degree angle and then at the bottom are launched high into the air.
You could be launched as far as 20 feet out into the lake!
Water Warrior Island co-owner Sam Fulton told MLive these were actually the first slides of their kind in the entire country!

Cost is $5 for one slide, $10 for three, $15 for five, or $25 for ten. There's also an all-you-can-slide pass 6 p.m., Mondays through Thursdays and beginning at 7 p.m. on weekends for $55.
These wild slides aren't the only attraction at Water Warrior Island.
You'll find inflatable slides, obstacle course, and kayak and paddle board rental. There's also cabanas!
You will need a recreation passport to get in, as it's inside the state park. Depending on what activities you're interested in, pricing varies. But if you just want to hang out on the beach and swim in the lake, it's free!
