Aquatica’s Top Attractions 2016

Hey Thrill Seekers,

I’m going to be taking a look into what you guys have voted as your favourite attraction of 2016 for each individual park. Starting with Aquatica.

Drum roll please….

Its the worlds longest drop tower multi-slide.. Ihu’s Breakaway Falls! The 80 ft tall, vertical slide doesn’t seem to have phased any of you thrill seekers as it has been voted as the favourite attraction in Aquatica.

This attraction boasts 4 different slides each with its own steep and very very high 360 degree spiral. You will need to prepare to be unprepared as once you step foot into of of the ‘breakaway boxes’ you have accepted your fate and will not know when you are going to drop vertically at a rate of 20 – 24 feet per second! If the fear of the unknown is too much for you to handle then you will always have to option to choose the fourth slide which will allow you to choose exactly when you drop – I think I would find it more difficult trying to force myself to push the button!

Second Place: Roa’s Rapids – four times faster than your average river rapids this definitely isn’t a ‘lazy’ river. Look out for the geysers and waterfalls!

Third Place: Dolphin Plunge – This 250 foot Slide consists of clear tubes immersed in a Commerson’s dolphin habitat where you can race with the dolphins as you whizz through the slide!

Fourth Place: Hooroo Run & Walhalla Wave – This 6 storey triple drop water slide is 7 foot wide and 250 foot high! This slide is sure to be a thrilling experience.

Fifth Place: Walk About Waters – Absolutely perfect for the kiddies! With plenty of water cannons, slides and rides your kids will be entertained for hours.

I can see why Ihu’s Breakaway Falls would be the favourite slide at Aquatica due to the extremely high thrill factor and the sense of achievement you feel once your wobbly legs carry you out of the ‘landing area.’ Good choice guys!

Hey Thrill Seekers,

In this latest installment, Aquatica Orlando’s Vice President Bryan Nadeau goes Behind the Falls of Ihu’s Breakaway Falls™ to see what it takes to build Orlando’s tallest, steepest and only multi-drop tower slide of its kind. From the installation of three “Breakaway Boxes” to raising the more than 40,000 pound signature Aquatica roof, crews have been working day and night to get ready to open Ihu’s Breakaway Falls on May 9.

This drop ride looks like its going to be a massive hit. I can’t wait to try it out.

We love drop rides with a Twist,

Bit More Info About Ihu’s Breakaway Falls At Aquatica Orlando

Hi Thrill Seekers,

Its not only the theme parks that are launching new attractions this year the water parks are too, and one that’s captured our imaginations is Aquatica’s Ihu’s Breakaway Falls. Billed as the Tallest, Steepest, Longest and only multi person drop side in the southern United States visitors can expect to ride this beast from May the 9th.

Aquatica has dropped little hints here and there regarding what we can expect but nothing really definitive, that was until now. Today Aquatica Orlando’s Vice President Bryan Nadeau revealed some additional information via this video;

From what we’ve seen here, riders will start in a standing position inside 3 clear breakaway boxes. None of the participants will know which box will open first adding to the excitement.

When the box does open riders will drop an initial 40 foot at an almost 80 degree angle. They will then hit 1 of 4, 360 degree spiral tubes until they emerge at the bottom.

Don’t know about you but that sounds pretty freaky.
