Huge Waterslide Won’t Be Coming To Sioux Falls, Rapid City

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — Residents of South Dakota’s two largest cities won’t get a chance to go down a 1,000-foot waterslide this summer.

Organizers of Slide the City say they could not reach an agreement with officials in Rapid City and Sioux Falls to install the huge waterslide on city streets.

Minutes from the parks and recreation board in Sioux Falls show the city didn’t support the event because of construction taking place near the area where the waterslide would have been installed. Other scheduled events in Sioux Falls also created a conflict.

Slide the City has scheduled dozens of events across the country this year. Organizers were encouraged to reapply for a permit in Sioux Falls for next year.
