Ihu's Breakaway Falls at Aquatica
Episode 7 of theDIBB 4 SeaWorld Parks tour literally drops me into Aquatica. Ihu's Breakaway Falls is the newest slide in SeaWorlds water park. It is also not your average water slide.
Aquatica is a fun day out. Many people on theDIBB have suggested that it is the best water park in Orlando for fun, entertaining rides. I first visited Aquatica when it originally opened back in 2008. It has continued improving since that day with new rides, restaurants and rentable cabanas for a bit of luxurious and much needed shade. One of the best new attractions in Aquatica has to be Ihu's Breakaway Falls. Situated right across the park from the entrance and the much loved Dolphin Plunge, you cannot miss the height of the slide structure. It is nestled between the wave pool and Kata's Kookaburra Cove play area for kids. There are 4 different coloured slides all of which give a slightly different experience. Three of these slides are drop slides. What do I mean by drop slides? Well traditionally on a water slide you sit down and push yourself off to start the experience. one of the slides is like this but the others have a vertical launch system. You walk into what can only be described as a capsule with a transparent door. You need to cross your arms and ankles and as the door closes your hear a pounding heart beat as you prepare to drop. This add to the tension to get the adrenalin going before your drop. The video below will show you more along with my reaction to the initial drop. It is an exhilarating ride. It is always busy and even with quick queue it can take a while to ride this. Especially if you wanted to try all 4 versions of the ride. I will be back to ride this again. 10/10 for a water ride from me! Ep1 - Mako Ep2 - Cobra's Curse Ep3 - SeaWorld Rescue Ep4 - SeaVenture at Discovery Cove Ep5 - Falcon's Fury at Busch Gardens Ep6 - Discovery Cove Dolphin Swim |

You never fail to amaze me with your bravery Simon! What with this and Falcon's Fury... you are a daredevil! I stood at the bottom and waited for OH on this one... I don't think you could pay me to get me up there!
Thank you for sharing another great day |

Brilliant ride. Literally just went yesterday (Wednesday) and the park was dead. Walked on this twice in the morning and once in the afternoon. Would have been more but asyou said. A lot of steps lol I go to aquatica mainly for this slide.
