You can now buy tickets for the world's tallest and longest tunnel slide at London's ArcelorMittal Orbit Tower.

你現在可以買世界上最高最長的隧道滑梯的門票了!它就位於倫敦安賽樂米塔爾軌道塔。

Artist Carsten Holler -- developing on an initial proposal by Bblur Architecture -- has designed the 178 m-long (584 ft) helter skelter slide.

藝術家賈斯頓·歐雷設計了這個由Bblur建築工作室初步規劃的、全長178米(584英尺)的極速滑梯。

"Since 1999, I have built a number of slides, both free-standing and attached to buildings, but never onto another artwork as in this case," says Holler, who installed a pair of spiraling slides at the Hayward Gallery for an exhibition last summer.

歐雷表示:“自1999年起,我建造了不少滑梯,都獨立地附在建築物上,但從來沒有像這次這樣放在另一件藝術作品上。” 爲了去年夏天舉辦的一次展覽會,他在海沃德畫廊上打造了一個雙螺旋滑梯。

"Now that the two artworks will be intertwined with each other, I see it as one of these double situations that I am so interested in."

“現在這兩個作品彼此交織,我把它看做是我很感興趣的雙重局面。”

The Orbit Tower slide will be made up of 30 sections -- 12 of which are now complete -- and feature 12 turns. It starts at a height of 74 meters and has a top speed of 15 miles per hour, taking 40 seconds to go down.

軌道塔的滑梯由30節組成--其中12個已經完成--還包括12個轉彎。該滑梯從距地面74米高的地方開始,最高時速可達15英里每小時,遊客從頂部滑至底部只需40秒

Tickets for the attraction cost $22 and include access to the Orbit's viewing platform.

此巨型滑梯的票價是22美元,其中包含了進入軌道的觀景臺的費用。

London isn't the only city expecting a helter skelter either, with plans afoot for a glass slide 1,000 ft up Downtown LA's US Bank Tower.

據悉,並不是只有倫敦在建造極速滑梯,洛杉磯的聯邦銀行大樓正在計劃建造一座1000英尺的玻璃滑梯。
