Attention JetBlue flight attendants: Singapore’s Changi Airport has the perfect slide for you.

Changi is the Mall of America of airports, sporting a movie theater, DJ and art studios, a swimming pool, a spa and a nature trail. But they’ve outdone themselves this time, installing a 40-foot twisting slide. On the steeper slide, you fly down at 19 feet per second. If you spend $22 at the airport, you get two tokens for the slide, while a shorter, less-steep slide is free. Check out the video below to see how it was built.
