Be part of history at the Great Wolf Lodge “World’s Largest Waterslide-athon” and help out Big Brothers Big SIsters. Every slider who descends the designated slide will count toward breaking the record for longest distance traveled on waterslides over a 24 hour period.  

The current Guinness Book of Worlds Record for this attempt was set in Germany in 2007 with a total distance of 843 miles.

Participants in the Great Wolf Lodge “World’s Largest Waterslide-athon” will be asked to donate $1 per slide, with proceeds from all locations going to Big Brothers Big Sisters of America. Great Wolf Resorts will be matching each donation, up to $50,000.
