SeaWorld’s Adventure Island waterpark in Tampa, Florida, has welcomed a new addition in the form of Rapids Racer - the world’s first ProSlide Dueling FlyingSaucer.
A new innovation from ProSlide, the water ride combines aspects of ProSlide’s Dueling Pipeline and FlyingSaucer into a single water ride feature.
“These are two of our most popular water rides around the world”, said Greg White, ProSlide’s vice-president of products. “Both draw a tremendous amount of their inspiration from our company’s history in competitive ski racing, so combining them into a single experience was a natural progression for us.”
With the Dueling FlyingSaucer, two vehicles enter via two closed duelling flumes. As riders descend “like world cup skiers through a giant slalom ski turn”, they can see and hear their competition, creating a neck-and-neck competitive racing experience.
