After having been delayed a year, SeaWorld San Antonio has announced the official opening date for their new Catapult Falls water coaster.
What’s Happening:
- SeaWorld San Antonio will host the grand opening of their new attraction, Catapult Falls, on Saturday, March 2nd.
- The first 500 guests to ride the attraction on opening day will receive a specialty pint glass.
- The opening was announced through the video below, shared on SeaWorld’s official X account.
- Although they didn’t reveal the exact dates, SeaWorld Annual Passholders will be able to preview the attraction prior to the official opening date.
- The first-of-its-kind ride combines 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.
- Eleven boats, each with eight riders, 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.
- Once at the peak of the ride, guests will experience the world’s steepest drop in a flume attraction! Angled at a staggering 53 degrees, the chute plummets riders into a watery splashdown at over 37 miles per hour. The duration of this one-of-a-kind attraction is in excess of five minutes, making for a wonderful family adventure.
- 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. The breathtaking views don’t last long as the ride prepares guests for the ultimate plunge!
