New Waterslide
On the Gallows Corner flyover site. It’s part of the flyover refurbishment.
A giant waterslide is set to be built in the centre of Gallows Corner roundabout as part of new improvement works.
The proposed new flume - nicknamed the Romford Barbie - will be hot pink, to stand out from the grey of the flyover, and will follow a corkscrew shape.
Aiming to bring tourists into Romford from across the world, the slide will stand at 80 metres tall - breaking the record for the tallest waterslide in Europe.
To access the waterslide, thrill seekers will need to climb up one of five rope bridges, extending at a sharp diagonal from next to each each junction of the roundabout into the centre.
These bridges will also be hot pink.
The trees currently in the centre of the roundabout will be removed and the green space hollowed out to create a deep splash pool.
It will boost the local economy by bringing in water slide enthusiasts from across the world, and brighten up the town.
