Standing nearly 60 feet tall, Ray Rush invites you to climb aboard a four-person raft for a wild journey featuring three distinct slide elements. For starters, powerful water jets will propel you into the first of several enclosed tube sections.
Next, you’ll enter a giant translucent sphere, where you’ll rock back and forth as water swirls around you. Last but not least, you’ll encounter the ride’s signature element: an open-air halfpipe designed to resemble a manta ray’s wings!
Located next to Walkabout Waters on Aquatica’s north side, Ray Rush has a rider height requirement of 42 inches.
Ray Rush is just the start of everything there is to experience at Aquatica, which features 42 slides, rivers and lagoons, as well as 84,000 square feet of white, sandy beaches. Other top attractions here include Ihu’s Breakaway Falls, which is the tallest, steepest multi-drop ride in Orlando, and Dolphin Plunge, where enclosed tube slides will send you flying through a pod of playful dolphins.
Nearby, SeaWorld Orlando's theme park offers plenty of pulse-pounding excitement, including the Manta, Kraken Unleashed and Mako roller coasters, plus the brand-new Infinity Falls. It also gives you the chance to enjoy close encounters with a wide range of aquatic animals at the Dolphin Nursery, Manatee Rehabilitation Area and Stingray Lagoon, among other locations. And as of 2019, it’s home to Sesame Street, complete with themed rides, character encounters, interactive play and more!
SeaWorld also offers one of Orlando’s most awe-inspiring attractions: Discovery Cove®, a one-of-a-kind day resort where you can snorkel with tropical fish and rays, hand-feed exotic birds, frolic with otters and marmosets, and even swim with dolphins.
SeaWorld operates Busch Gardens Tampa Bay and Adventure Island water park on Florida’s west coast, too, ensuring endless adventures when you visit Orlando!
