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

你现在可以买世界上最高最长的隧道滑梯的门票了!它就位于伦敦安赛乐米塔尔轨道塔。
Artist Carsten Holler -- developing on an initial proposal by Bblur Architecture -- has designed the 178 m-long (584 ft) helter skelter slide.
艺术家贾斯顿·欧雷设计了这个由Bblur建筑工作室初步规划的、全长178米(584英尺)的极速滑梯。
"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.
欧雷表示:“自1999年起,我建造了不少滑梯,都独立地附在建筑物上,但从来没有像这次这样放在另一件艺术作品上。” 为了去年夏天举办的一次展览会,他在海沃德画廊上打造了一个双螺旋滑梯。

"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."

“现在这两个作品彼此交织,我把它看做是我很感兴趣的双重局面。”
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.
轨道塔的滑梯由30节组成--其中12个已经完成--还包括12个转弯。该滑梯从距地面74米高的地方开始,最高时速可达15英里每小时,游客从顶部滑至底部只需40秒
Tickets for the attraction cost $22 and include access to the Orbit's viewing platform.
此巨型滑梯的票价是22美元,其中包含了进入轨道的观景台的费用。
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.
据悉,并不是只有伦敦在建造极速滑梯,洛杉矶的联邦银行大楼正在计划建造一座1000英尺的玻璃滑梯。
