Cycle courier Meave, 21, posted on Twitter saying: “Stirling waterpark open for business kiddos.”
The hilarious clip shows Meave’s friend Harry Whyte, and two other lads, diving onto the soaking street.
The power of the water has created a natural slide and both Harry and the others are seen sliding down the street.

At one point one of the other boys came close to hitting a car which was trying to pull out of its parking spot.
Meave, originally from Aberdeen, can be heard laughing whilst filming and saying: “Oh my god!”
The clip then cuts to a flooded King Street and Harry decides to start swimming through the street.
Harry’s backstroke sent Meave into hysterics as she laughed: “Aghh Harry. Stop!”

The clip has since gone viral with many left in stitches.
Meave today said that it was all a bit of fun.
She said: “We were all just chilling at my pals flat watching the rain when we saw how heavy it was getting we decided to go out and have a splash around.
“We didn’t realise how bad it had got till we got to the bottom of my pals staircase and saw it was flooded.
“We then saw the two guys going for it and my pal Harry joined in.
“Once we were soaked we thought we might as well see how the rest of the town looked and when we saw the bottom of King Street had turned into a swimming pool Harry couldn’t help but give his backstroke a whirl.
Meave cannot believe the reaction her video has had on social media.
She added: “It’s all a bit mad, my phone won’t stop buzzing. We’re getting a lot of hate which we’re finding really funny.
“People are mad because they’re sliding in jobby juice and my accent is a bit funny."
