SeaWorld Orlando has announced a new attraction which it claims is the tallest river rapid drop in the world.
Infinity Falls is set to debut next summer. Its rapids will take guests through the park’s new rainforest river experience, while thrill-seekers can plunge down the drop.
“We are constantly looking at new ways to amaze our guests – Infinity Falls will do that, and more,” said Jim Dean, president of SeaWorld Orlando Parks.
“From the excitement of the thrilling rapids, to the unique vertical lift element, it will be an adventure that appeals to the entire family.
“Infinity Falls continues our commitment to investing in our park, and developing new ways to entertain and inspire our guests with meaningful, fun-filled vacations.”
Designers were inspired by the rainforests and rivers of South America. Each raft will twist and turn through a jungle themed environment as guests experience Class IV rapids. A vertical elevator will lift the rafts for a launch into the river 40 feet below.
Brian Morrow, vice president of theme park design experience said: “We developed Infinity Falls to tell new stories that showcase the beauty and sheer power of water and the amazing wildlife that lives in it.
“The result is a new river rapids adventure for our guests to explore, and actively help freshwater ecosystems in a way that only SeaWorld can bring to life.”
