La Gran Plaza "Carsten Holler Slide"

La Gran Plaza de Fort Worth prides itself in being an innovative shopping mall specifically when it comes to the artwork collection it displays. Inside El Mercado you will find a giant spiraled slide an exact replica of the original Carsten Holler slide first built and installed inside London’s Tate Museum. This German engineered replica was built and brought from overseas and installed in El Mercado by the same group of engineers who helped construct it. The slide is 34 feet in height and 88 feet in length and stretches from the third to the first floor of El Mercado, similar to the slide at the Tate Museum this specific one offers shoppers and visitors the opportunity to twist and twirl and see the more than 130 stores and businesses inside this section of the shopping mall.
