圣安东尼奥，德克萨斯州. (9月. 28, 2023) – 海洋世界 San Antonio is thrilled to share that the much- anticipated “Catapult Falls” will now open in Spring 2024. 的 groundbreaking coaster will be the world’s first launched flume coaster with North America’s only vertical lift. It also will have riders screaming in anticipation of a speedy downward plunge with the steepest drop of any flume ride.
“Sometimes it takes a little delayed gratification to produce something completely innovative; it was important to us to ensure that our first-of-its-kind water flume coaster is perfected in every part of the ride experience and that is what we have done,乔迪·达文波特说, 圣安东尼奥海洋世界总裁. “We know our guests are going to agree it was worth the wait once they take their first jaw-dropping plunge on the world’s first launched flume coaster.”
“Catapult Falls” will combine the thrill of a launched roller coaster, the excitement of a vertical lift elevator that lifts riders above the theme park, and a water flume ride with the steepest drop, to produce multiple rushes of adrenaline as well as moments of exciting splashes to cool guests down.
十一个船, 每辆车有八名骑手, will catapult through the launch at speeds of 30 feet per second, allowing riders to feel the rush of a coaster while experiencing the rocking and swaying of riding on a track of water. After winding through a series of twists and turns, “Catapult Falls” uses a state-of-the-art elevator, the only one on the continent in an attraction of this kind, to lift guests up seven feet per second to reach a height of over 55 feet.
Once at the peak of the ride, guests will experience the world’s steepest drop in a flume attraction! 呈惊人的53度角, the chute plummets riders into a watery splashdown at over 37 miles per hour. It’s a perfect ride for guests to get wet and cool down in the hot Texas heat.
“Catapult Falls” will join the collection of other award-winning and unique industry-first coasters that include Tidal Surge, the world’s tallest and fastest ride of its kind; Texas Stingray, the tallest and fastest wooden roller coaster in Texas; Wave Breaker: the Rescue Coaster, where guests board jet ski-like cars and join 海洋世界’s Rescue Team to help an animal in need, 还有更多.
