Summer is winding down and seasonal water parks are ready to call it a season. But let’s head to the Caribbean where bathing suits are de rigeur year round for my review of Daredevil’s Peak, a crazy-tall water slide at Perfect Day at Royal Caribbean’s CocoCay.

It’s the first thing you see as your Royal Caribbean cruise ship approaches Perfect Day at CocoCay: the ominous Daredevil’s Tower. Rising 135 feet into the air, the sight of it is enough to get pulses racing. But pulses really start to race when visitors climb to the top of the tower and contemplate taking the plunge on Daredevil’s Peak, the tallest water slide on the tower, and one of the tallest water slides in the world.

Could you take the plunge? Only you could answer that. Some of you may be hardened thrill warriors–the proverbial daredevils for whom the attraction is named–and wouldn’t think twice about giving it a whirl. But many of you may have questions you would want answered before committing to such an extreme ride. Questions like: Just how thrilling is Daredevil’s Peak? What does it feel like descending the tower? Will I lose my bathing suit?
