Ihu’s Breakaway Falls Opens at Aquatica on May 9, 2014

Ihu’s Breakaway Falls™ opens at Aquatica, SeaWorld’s Waterpark™ May 9. It will be the tallest, steepest and only multi-drop tower slide of its kind in the southern United States. At nearly 80 feet tall, Ihu’s Breakaway Falls is where thrill seekers face their fears and each other. After stepping into one of three clear “breakaway boxes,” they’ll watch each other fall one-by-one as the floor underneath them disappears. They’ll never know who’s going to breakaway first – and the anticipation of who drops next is part of the wild ride!
