We were excited to be invited to the media day for Aquatica Orlando’s newest big water park attraction. Aquatica hopes to race into Spring with Florida’s first-ever and only dueling racer — Riptide Race.
Featuring high-speed tunnels and more twists and turns than you expect, Riptide Race is an adrenaline-pumping water slide race that pits teams against each other in a splash to the finish line.
This video captures the on-ride experience including a side-by-side comparison.
很高興能被邀請參加奧蘭多Aquatica最新大型水上樂園景點的媒體日。 Aquatica希望與佛羅里達州的首個也是唯一的決鬥賽車手Riptide Race一起參加春季比賽。
Riptide Race擁有高速隧道和比您期望的更多的曲折，是一種腎上腺素泵浦水上滑行競賽，使團隊相互爭奪並沖向終點。
該視頻記錄了騎乘體驗，包括並排比較。
The attraction is family friendly, smaller ones can ride with an adult, in groups of one or two. When you get to the top be sure to tell the lifeguard that you want to be paired with another tube so you can experience the thrill of the race experience.
該景點是家庭友好的，較小的可以與一個成年人一起乘坐，以一到兩個為一組。 當到達最高點時，一定要告訴救生員您想與另一隻管配對，這樣您才能體驗到比賽中的快感。
“We are thrilled to introduce Riptide Race, an experience you won’t find anywhere else in Florida. Aquatica is the first waterpark in the state to have a dueling racer and we know our guests are going to love the fun of challenging their friends and family in a race to the finish,” said Kyle Miller, Park President.
Aquatica has more waterslides than any other waterpark in Orlando, which means everyone in your party can find something fun to enjoy. Big slides like Riptide Race will set hearts racing, but there are also kid-friendly water play areas, and white-sand beaches offering the perfect spot to relax (although we prefer seating in the paved areas).
As with all theme parks in Orlando, guests will encounter enhanced health and safety protocols. Each water park experience includes increased cleaning and sanitation, temperature checks, social distancing marks in queues.
“Riptide Race is the perfect addition to our attraction portfolio, complementing what is already one of the most family-friendly waterslide lineups in Orlando,” said Miller. “Health and safety continue to be a top priority for our parks, and we can’t wait to see our guests enjoy this new ride.”
“我們很高興推出Riptide Race，這是佛羅里達州其他任何地方都找不到的體驗。 Aquatica是該州第一個擁有決鬥賽手的水上樂園，我們知道我們的客人一定會喜歡在挑戰比賽中挑戰朋友和家人的樂趣，”公園總裁凱爾·米勒（Kyle Miller）說。
Aquatica的滑水道比奧蘭多的任何其他水上樂園都要多，這意味著您聚會中的每個人都可以找到一些有趣的東西。像Riptide Race這樣的大型滑梯會讓您心馳神往，但也有適合兒童玩耍的水上游樂區，以及白沙海灘，是放鬆身心的理想場所（儘管我們更喜歡在鋪好的區域就座）。
與奧蘭多的所有主題公園一樣，客人將遇到增強的健康和安全規程。每個水上樂園的體驗都包括增加清潔和衛生設施，溫度檢查，排隊時的社交距離標記。
Miller說：“ Riptide Race是我們吸引力產品組合的完美補充，已經成為了奧蘭多最適合家庭使用的滑水道產品陣容之一。” “健康和安全仍然是我們公園的重中之重，我們迫不及待地看到我們的客人喜歡這種新遊樂設施。”
Note that the Riptide Race attraction does have a weight maximum for riders. Individual riders cannot weigh more than 250 lbs and doubles can not weigh more than 400 lbs.
There are a couple of different attractions at Aquatica Orlando that have similar weight restrictions, so if you’re a larger size individual, make sure you check the weight limits before you start to climb those stairs.
I’m not sure why SeaWorld and other theme parks continue to build attractions that exclude a large portion of their audience. They can look around on any given day and see that many of the water park’s visitors won’t meet the weight limits. Given that this attraction was built from scratch, Aquatica could have specified a higher weight limit at the outset.
請注意，Riptide競賽景點確實對騎手有最大的重量。 單個車手的重量不能超過250磅，雙打車的重量不能超過400磅。
在Aquatica Orlando，有幾個不同的景點也有類似的體重限制，因此，如果您是一個較大的個人，請確保在開始爬樓梯之前先檢查體重限制。
我不確定為什麼海洋世界和其他主題公園會繼續建造吸引大部分觀眾的景點。 他們可以在任何一天環顧四周，並看到許多水上樂園的遊客都達不到體重限制。 考慮到這種吸引力是從零開始建立的，因此Aquatica在一開始就可以指定更高的重量限制。
