\nSeaWorld Orlando announces its latest world-class attraction, Infinity Falls, to debut summer 2018. Thrilling rapids will roar through the brand new rainforest river experience, while adventure-seeking guests plunge down the world\u2019s tallest river rapid drop.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are constantly looking at new ways to amaze our guests – Infinity Falls will do that, and more,\u201d said Jim Dean, President of SeaWorld Orlando Parks. \u201cFrom the excitement of the thrilling rapids, to the unique vertical lift element, it will be an adventure that appeals to the entire family. Infinity Falls continues our commitment to investing in our park, and developing new ways to entertain and inspire our guests with meaningful, fun-filled vacations.\u201d<\/p>\n
To bring Infinity Falls to life, designers were inspired by the rainforests of South America and the flowing rivers found within. Each raft will twist and turn through a lush jungle environment as guests experience the feel of exhilarating Class IV rapids. A unique vertical elevator will lift each raft for a dramatic launch into the river, 40 feet below.<\/p>\n
\u201cWater makes up more than 70% of our planet,\u201d said Brian Morrow, Vice President of Theme Park Design Experience. \u201cWe developed Infinity Falls to tell new stories that showcase the beauty and sheer power of water and the amazing wildlife that lives in it. The result is a new river rapids adventure for our guests to explore, and actively help freshwater ecosystems in a way that only SeaWorld can bring to life.\u201d<\/p>\n
The addition of Infinity Falls is the perfect addition to SeaWorld\u2019s ever-growing ride portfolio. From the roller coaster thrills of Mako, Manta and Kraken to the water flume fun of Journey to Atlantis, Infinity Falls will soon join the park\u2019s famed attractions as a must-do experience in Orlando.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Infinity Falls will be the centerpiece of a newly themed surrounding area, fully immersing guests in a rainforest canopy. After riding the rapids on Infinity Falls, the entire family can explore the village and take part in interactive experiences that combine play with education to create a positive impact on freshwater ecosystems. SeaWorld\u2019s Animal Ambassadors will also provide up-close encounters with animals native to South America.<\/p>\n
Infinity Falls will open at SeaWorld Orlando in summer 2018.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
