New Details on Water Slides Coming to SeaWorld Aquatica in 2010

  
  

We reported in November about new slides coming to Aquatica in 2010, and now even more details are coming out.

  • The ride will be called Omaka Rocka, which means rocking river.
  • It will share a platform with Whanau Way, on the wave-pool side of the park.
  • Whanau Way tower was built with another ride in mind for the future - but Omaka Rocka is not the ride that was originally planned for that spot.
  • There will be two slides with three funnels each.
  • The half-pipe element will provide "near weightlessness"
  • Guests will ride in two-seater floats on the ride.
  • There will be no height restriction, although you must be able to hold onto the grips and maintain the riding position throughout.
  • Although portions of the Omaka Rocka will be enclosed, the tubing will be "semi-transparent," allowing more light in.
  • Construction is under way, and passersby should be able to see the tubing go up during the first half of January. Although the good people at Screamscape.com found pictures of pieces of the new ride back in November.
