Divertical, the world's tallest and fastest water coaster, is located at Mirabilandia in north-eastern Italy.

Developed by Intamin, Divertical stands an imposing 60m tall at the apex of its elevator lift system. Riders hit a top speed of 110km/h, and traverses several hundred feet of roller coaster-style track.

After boarding their 10-passenger 'speed boats', riders are go through a relatively short flume ride-like section as they approach the lift.

Once engaged, the elevator lift hauls the boats up vertically 60m, tilting slightly on the way up to allow the other loading platform to pass by as it goes down to load the next boat.

Once released at the top, the boats plunge down a 180ft drop at a 45-degree angle into a 'mock water splash' section of track at 110km/h.

The boat then rises over an elongated hill before dropping slightly, then rising and falling through a left-handed U-turn which rises and twists into a mid-course brake run. From here, the train spirals down 360-degrees to the right, rises, and plunges into the soaking wet splashdown finale.
