A 15,000-lb, roughly 36-foot-long playground slide shaped like a Western Diamondback rattlesnake, installed at the campground playground of McDowell Mountain Regional Park (Maricopa County Parks) near Fountain Hills/Fort McDowell, complete with a rattle-tail spinner. Manufactured in Fort Payne, Alabama and shipped to the park as part of a county-wide regional-park playground renovation; only one other identical slide exists, in Las Vegas. Real Western Diamondbacks reach roughly 5-7 ft, so the slide is many times life-size.
