Dolphin. Aquatica Orlando Florida
Dolphin-Plunge What is it? Well it's a plunge through a 250 foot of clear tube that you speeds you through to a commersons dolphin's habitat, where they will race along side you a s you zoom your way through the tube. This unusual and exciting attraction can be found at Aquatica in Orlando Florida. The fun water park is across the road from Sea world on International Drive, Orlando Who can ride this invigorating water plume? Well you must be at least four foot tall, you must be able to maintain a proper riding position and have a maximum weight of 300lbs or 136kg. Sorry life jackets, shirts or cotton shorts are not allowed on this ride! Well the lack of a life jacket rules me out. Why you would want to ride this attraction is a mystery to me? Apparently you can get stuck half way in, these brave souls who have ridden this ride, say there should be a way of determining how many people are in the tube at the same time, more moving water running through the tube may solve the problem? When the attraction opened it was considered the signature attraction of Sea world’s new water park, Aquatica. Its duel slides are woven through the lush entrance view into a large tank-home to several beautiful Commerson's Dolphin's. Riders waiting to see a fly-by of a animal may be disappointed, as the speed of your descent, the amount of water spraying in your eyes and the chances of any of these beautiful creatures being close enough to the viewpoint out of the slide, weigh highly against your chances of getting the "promised" experience of gliding alongside the creatures. Aside from the genuine aspect of sliding through a live aquarium, this attraction Plunge is still a decent slide, and from a non-rider perspective, it is quite fun to look at. With permission from the park staff, you may have the opportunity to film exactly what happens in the ride, with a water proof camera of course.!
