  (#2) The Joule Hotel Pool - The Joule Hotel

  The infinity pool located in Dallas' Joule Hotel is cantilevered eight feet out from the rest of the building, which essentially creates a pool that dangles hundreds of feet in the air. To make the experience even scarier, the end of the pool that juts out from the building is made entirely of glass. There's also bar service in the pool area, so that may explain the popularity of The Joule's mysterious hanging pool. If all this sounds a bit unsettling, that seems to be just what the hotel is going for. According to The Joule's website, the pool "gives guests the sensation of swimming out beyond the hotel’s edge."

  (#3) The Cannonball Loop - Action Park

  Quite possibly the worst water slide ever conceived, the Cannonball Loop that used to stand at Action Park in Vernon Township, New Jersey, is exactly what the name implies: a water slide with a loop in it. The slide was only open for a month in the summer of 1985, after which it was permanently closed because of the amount of injuries. Some people didn't quite make the loop and fell off the top, because of, you know, gravity. Other, more fortunate souls (just?) had their backs scratched up by all the sand and dirt that collected at the bottom of the loop by, again, gravity. Also, confoundingly, there was no pool at the bottom of the slide. Disoriented and often injured Cannonball-ers were greeted by nothing more than a wet mat to stop their downward trajectory.

  (#7) SkyPark - Marina Bay Sands

  Skypark in Marina Bay, Singapore, is a ginormous platform that rests across the tops of three different skyscrapers and offers a bird's eye view of the entire city. Its claim to fame is the infinity pool cantilevered out from the northernmost tower by about 220 feet, 57 stories above the ground. Obviously, the pool is just an illusion; you can't really swim over the edge because there's a ledge just below the water's surface on the other side. Still, if heights or water (or both) aren't your thing, you'd best be advised to avoid what would surely be an anxiety-inducing dip in the SkyPark's pool.

  (#20) Mammoth - Holiday World & Splashin' Safari

  Mammoth at Holiday World & Splashin' Safari in Santa Claus, Indiana, is the longest water coaster in the world, a sort of water slide-roller coaster hybrid that contains all the scariest parts of both rides. Six- and eight-passenger watercrafts careen over seven hydromagnetic peaks before they hit a 270-degree turn, which throws the entire vessel up against a high wall. In all, Mammoth covers over three acres and seven stories, from highest point to lowest.

  (#15) Verrückt - Schlitterbahn Kansas City

  The aquatic attraction known as Verrückt at the Schlitterbahn Kansas City water park was, at one time, the tallest water slide in the world. The first drop, at a terrifying 168 feet, was followed by another stomach-in-the-throat drop of 50 feet. But Verrückt was shut down permanently in 2016 after a 10-year-old boy died on it. Criminal charges were eventually brought against the ride's designers and operators, as well as the owner of Schlitterbahn.

  (#10) L2 - Wave

  The first double-looping slide in the world, L2 is located at Wave water park in Wörgl, Austria. It drops riders from a whopping 40-story height before sending them careening through two gigantic loops at more than 40 mph. By the time the thrill-ride ends, most riders aren't even sure what hit them.
