    Ray Rush at SeaWorld’s Aquatica Orlando to open May 12

    SeaWorld has announced that their new water slide, Ray Rush, is set to open at Aquatica Orlando on Saturday, May 12.

    The new attraction combines three unique slide elements, never before seen at Aquatica, into one action-packed attraction the entire family can enjoy together.

    First, riders will be launched with water jets designed to propel rafts into the first of several enclosed tube sections. Next, riders will swirl into the giant sphere. Finally, riders will drop into an open-air halfpipe that resembles the shape of a manta ray before ending with a splash.

    Ray Rush will have a height requirement of 42” to appeal to families with children and will accommodate up to four riders per raft.

    The new slide is located on the north side of the park next to Walkabout Waters. A neighboring attraction which was temporarily closed to accommodate the construction of Ray Rush, Walhalla Wave, reopened this past weekend.

    Inside Universal will be checking out the new slide this week during previews on Friday, May 11.

    Stay tuned to Inside Universal for more coverage on Aquatica’s newest slide.
