 Aquatica Orlando- Ihu's Breakaway Falls Completed.

 Yesterday at Aquatica Orlando, the final slide section of Ihu's Breakaway Falls, the newest ride opening soon at the water park, was put into place.

 As you can see from the image, the last slide section after your "drop" has been put into place. The other two slides of Ihu's are already complete and in place. This new waterslide attraction is set to open on May 9th to the general public.

Aquatica's New Slide- Ihu's Breakaway Falls

 After weeks of teasing the public, Aquatica has finally released more information on the their water slide- Ihu's Breakaway Falls.

 From previous teasers and leaked plans, we knew this new attraction to be 105 feet tall but that was all they gave us for over a month. Finally we've got some more details on exactly what kind of attraction we're looking at.

 A Drop Slide. These are famous for loading you into a small compartment and randomly dropping you into a steep, plunging speed slide. Ihu's Breakaway Falls is going to be the tallest in Orlando as well as the only multi-drop slide in the area. From the promo-teasers the park has released, it appears to have a total of 3 platforms. At this time it's unknown if that's 3 slide per platform or if it's three total slides.

 This slide is named after the parks colorful gecko mascot, who searched for thrills, hills and chills inside the water park.

 No formal opening date has been announced aside from "Coming in 2014".  This will be the parks first new addition since 2010 when they added in 'Omaka Rocka'.

Seaworld Orlando's 'Aquatica' Announcing Today? UPDATED

Rumor has it that Aquatica, Seaworld Orlando's waterpark will be making a massive expansion announcement at some point today.

According to the spy network over on Screamscape, this new expansion will be called "Taruka Rush".  This may or may not begin a ten year expansion plan, adding many new attractions to the park. Beginning with "Taruka Rush" which is a new duel slide, which may be a fusion of two attractions already found at the San Antonio Aquatica.

Screamscape guesses this may be a mixture of a Stingray Falls and Wahalla Wave. This means a mixture of a 'Tornado' style ride and a family raft ride. This may also incorporate some form of animal viewing which Aquatica is famous for with it's attractions.

UPDATE:

Well, whatever this new slide or attraction coming to Aquatic may be it seems it's going to be 105 feet tall. Seaworld's Twitter account released this image, now I'm not sure but I can't seem to find a slide in what we suspect is this style that quite this tall. However, I will keep looking so we have the most accurate information!


InSanity lurks Inside will update as news becomes available about this expansion and when the announcement is made!
