RipTide Race at Aquatica update

SMAX · 2 Mar 20, 04:33 PM

Aquatica Orlando, voted Orlando's No. 1 waterpark, is racing into 2020 with a one-of-a-kind new park attraction that will thrill park-goers — Florida's first-ever duelling water slide, Riptide Race.

Starting atop a 68-foot tower, riders will be able to grab a raft and take their marks in side-by-side racing lanes at top speeds. Each raft holds a team of two, so every rider will have a partner as they plunge toward a hopeful victory. Plus, Riptide Race rafts feature low walls to ensure full view of the competition. Duelling face-to-face, racers will navigate tight loops and accelerations through indoor and outdoor sections. It’s a marathon to the finish through nearly 650 feet of splashing slide.

The video below is from a hard hat tour showing the new ride is nearly complete. The video also contains an interview about the new ride.
