ORLANDO, Fla. – SeaWorld's Aquatica water park is set to unveil its newest attraction on Friday, just in time for the summer travel season.
[PICS: Ihu's Breakaway Falls]
Billed as the tallest and steepest water slide in Central Florida, Ihu's Breakaway Falls is already attracting a lot of attention.
Riders will climb the 80-foot-tall structure to climb into one of three cycliders, standing upright in a blue, orange or green container.
Once inside, the rider gives the operator a thumbs up, at which time the bottom drops out from underneath them, sending them shooting through the water tubes and into the slide below.
It's a fast ride that drops riders at a rate of 20-25 ft.-per-second, and the entire ride lasts only about 5-to-6 seconds.
There is a fourth slide -- a purple one -- that is designed for those who don't want the bottom to drop out from underneath them, but beware! The purple slide is still a fast one, boasting the largest freefall of any of the slides.
Ihu's Breakaway Falls opens to the public on Friday morning at 10 a.m.
