A grand reopening for one of Michigan’s most famous slides was swiftly followed by its indefinite closure.

The giant slide on Detroit’s Belle Isle was closed Friday afternoon -- about five hours after it was reopened -- officials from the Michigan Department of Natural Resources announced in a statement on the Belle Isle Park Facebook page.

“We are going to be making some adjustments to the speed that we have seen users coming down today,” officials said. “Hopefully after our small adjustment we will be back up and running and the slide will be slower for more enjoyment.
