Ray Rush Rises at Aquatica

February 22, 2018
A lot has happened since our last update and Ray Rush is starting to take shape! Check out our most recent construction milestone.

About a month has gone by since our last update and we thought it was time to show you how things are coming along at Ray Rush. A lot has happened since our last update and the brand-new attraction is starting to take shape!

Over the past several weeks, crews have been installing the bright blue and green slide pieces and have already completed several tube sections, some of which measure 10 feet in diameter! You can even see our giant manta ray shaped half-pipe rise into the air.

We are also excited to share an exciting construction milestone! The iconic giant sphere that Ray Rush riders will slide through has been lifted into position. This piece weighs over 12,000 pounds and will be the first thing our guests will see when they enter Aquatica and a whole lot of fun to ride!
