SAN ANTONIO -- The tallest multi-tower drop slide in Texas will open Mach 9, along with many other attractions coming to SeaWorld’s water park. Aquatica San Antonio is kicking off the season the opening of Ihu’s Breakaway Falls.
- Riders will climb nearly 70 feet to the top of an eight-story tower
- Descend at 20-24 feet per second into a spiraling speed slide
- SeaWorld adding three more new attractions
Riders will climb nearly 70 feet to the top of an eight-story tower and step in to one of two colorful breakaway boxes, or face the plummet slide.
As the door closes, riders cross their arms and give a thumbs up in preparation for their drop and floor beneath them will disappear. Facing each other, riders will watch as fellow riders fall. After dropping in, riders will descend at 20-24 feet per second into a spiraling speed slide before racing into a final splashdown.
“We are really pleased that guests at Aquatica San Antonio can experience this thrilling drop-tower so early in the 2019 season, giving them more reasons to visit the park again and again,” Carl Lum, SeaWorld & Aquatica San Antonio Park President, said.
SeaWorld San Antonio will also be adding three new experiences this spring, including:
- Turtle Reef™: an interactive sea turtle attraction that will give guests an up-close look at threatened and endangered sea turtles and the threats they face in the wild
- Riptide Rescue™: a ride where young guest can board a boat on their own sea turtle rescue mission
- Sea Swinger™: one of the tallest, fastest and most thrilling swing rides in the entire state of Texas - swinging riders 180-degrees in both directions while twisting riders in a circle
SeaWorld San Antonio will feature a year of special Sesame Street experiences and festivities, including the debut of Super Grover’s Box Car Derby, a family friendly coaster that opened on February 23, and Sesame Street Kids Weekends.
