Well, that was unexpected. As the hype surrounding the news that Slide Melbourne plans to bring us the world’s biggest street slide continues to build, it has emerged that a second slide team, Slidestreet, is taking over Lansdowne Street on Saturday January 24 – the same proposed location as Slide Melbourne.

Slidestreet is the team behind the slide that launched in Perth in December. It’s set to hit Sydney and Adelaide as well.

If you missed out on tickets for Slide Melbourne’s longer slide on Sunday February 15 (400 metres) or the waiting list for Monday March 9, then hop on Slidestreet’s 315-metre one.
