Aquatica Orlando Completes Final Slide on Orlando’s Tallest Drop Tower

[quote]Ihu’s Breakaway Falls is the only high-speed water thrill slide in the world that propels guests through four, 360-degree spirals”[/quote]

Orlando, FL, USA (April 9, 2014) — The final slide section was installed today at Aquatica Orlando’s newest attraction, Ihu’s Breakaway Falls. More than 200 sections are bolted together to make Orlando’s tallest, steepest and only multi-drop tower slide of its kind.  Ihu’s Breakaway Falls opens May 9.

With slides nearly 80 feet tall, thrill seekers will face their fears and each other. Riders will step into one of three clear “breakaway boxes,” and watch each other fall one-by-one as the floor underneath them disappears OR test their bravery on a just as thrilling fourth open slide.  They’ll never know who’s going to breakaway first – and the anticipation of who drops next is part of the wild ride.
