The world’s longest drop tower multi-slide ride of its kind and the tallest and steepest in the southern United States, Ihu’s Breakaway Falls, will open on the 9th May at Aquatica Orlando.
Standing at nearly 80-feet tall and with a vertical drop measuring 40-feet long, the ride features four different slides each boasting the steepest and tallest 360-degree spirals in the southern United States. Riders step into one of three clear ‘breakaway boxes’ at the top of the ride where they face each other – not knowing who will drop first – before the floor disappears and they plunge down at a rate of 20 – 24 feet per second. Those who are looking for a slightly tamer experience can choose the fourth slide which allows them to control when they go.
Aquatica is a one-of-a-kind waterpark from SeaWorld, which immerses guests in the playfulness of the sea and boasts some of the world’s most unique water rides and animal encounters. Aquatica’s signature ride – Dolphin Plunge –shoots riders through a spectacular Commerson dolphin habitat. The park is home to some of the world’s most thrilling water rides, featuring 38 slides, rivers and lagoons and 84,000 square feet of sparkling white, sandy beaches.
UK visitors to Florida can now experience three parks for the price of two until 31st December 2014. The 3-Park Ticket offers 14 days unlimited entry to SeaWorld Orlando, Aquatica and Busch Gardens Tampa. Prices start from £89 for adults and £85 for children, for more information and bookings go to www.seaworldparks.co.uk.
