The artist Carsten Holler has designed and installed a huge slide (170ft long and an 80ft drop) in the vast Turbine Hall at the Tate Modern. The slide will be open to the public from 10th October 2006 to 9th April 2007. Visitors will be able to travel up to the fifth floor of the art gallery, pick up a canvas sack and whizz down the installation. It is thought that visitors will reach speeds of 30mph.
I do not yet know whether the slide will be open to children, but it is likely that it will be possible for older children to have a go if they meet certain height restrictions. No matter what, I definitely want a go! The question is, how long will it take to go back up to the fifth floor to have another turn?
