Aquatica adds new ride in 2010
Aquatica, Orlando
2010 sees an expansion for Aquatica with the addition of a new ride; Omaka Rocka. Originating from the South Seas, Omaka Rocka means rocking river, and it should be welcoming its first riders in March 2010.
Omaka Rocka consists of two slides each with 3 funnels providing half pipe style maneuvers and a feeling of near weightlessness. Guests will ride in two-seater floats and there will be no height restriction, although you must be able to hold onto the grips and maintain the riding position.
Portions of the tubing will be semi-transparent, allowing more light and allowing waiting riders to see through.
Omaka Rocka will share a platform with Whanau Way on the wave-pool side of the park. The Whanau Way tower was built with expansion in mind.
Construction is already underway and guests should see the tubing go up during January.
