Giant Slide at Belle Isle opening delayed

The Belle Isle Giant Slide in Detroit, known for its iconic and controversial status, is set to reopen later this summer after delays in final preparations. Originally scheduled for Memorial Day Weekend, the reopening was postponed due to manufacturing delays. The slide, a 40-foot-tall attraction since 1967, gained viral attention in 2022 for safety issues and underwent significant safety improvements before reopening in 2024. No specific reopening date has been announced yet, but updates will be provided by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources.
