Take in the views before you go down the slide!

The ArcelorMittal Orbit is a 114.5-meter sculpture and observation tower in London's Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. Designed by Anish Kapoor and Cecil Balmond, it's like a giant red lattice tripod with a spiral walkway inside. It was built for the 2012 Olympics and has a slide that's the world's longest and tallest. Some say it looks like a treble clef or a mutant trombone, but it's definitely a unique addition to London's skyline.
