6 great water slides to ride around San Diego County

🍪 Cookie's Monster Mixer, Sesame Place San Diego: This six-story, four-person raft slide has a giant funnel that spins you around before the splashdown.

🌊 56-foot waterslide, Gaylord Pacific Resort: The Chula Vista resort has two major waterslides, including one that rises 56 feet, as part of its huge 4.25-acre water park.

🌀 Twister, Town and Country Resort: A four-story, 150-foot looping slide that the Mission Valley resort bills as the longest hotel waterslide in the city. Not a lot of competition probably, but still.
