Rapids Waterpark, South Florida’s largest waterpark, recently revealed its latest and most thrilling attraction to the media—MEGA MAYHEM, the only Dueling Water Coaster in Florida! The official grand opening of this water coaster will take place on April 4th.
MEGA MAYHEM is a massive water ride that promises an unforgettable experience for thrill-seekers. The ride is about 54 feet tall and consists of 2 flumes that span over 1,600 feet in length. This unique water coaster features two side-by-side lanes where riders can race against each other down twists, around high-banked turns, and uphill, propelled by a powerful blast of water at high speeds.
The innovative technology used in this water coaster launches riders forward in a two-person raft as they zoom through three “blast zones”, adding an extra level of excitement to the race. Additionally, riders speed around four exhilarating giant bowls at high speeds before racing to the finish. If you’re a fan of water adventures, MEGA MAYHEM is the perfect ride for you!
”This ride will blow you away. The blast zones are incredible and like no other water ride. This isn’t just a slide; it’s a water coaster, launching you through the twisting, turning race course,” said Bryan Megrath, Rapids Waterpark’s General Manager. With more than 40 rides and attractions, the addition of MEGA MAYHEM transforms Rapids Waterpark into the Thrill Capital of South Florida.”
Riders on the MEGA MAYHEM water coaster will catch glimpses of their friends and family racing alongside them during the ride. With a series of turns, drops, and uphill blast zones, no two rides are ever the same. Designed by industry leader ProSlide Technology Inc., MEGA MAYHEM will be the longest dueling water coaster of its kind in North America. Its installation marks a milestone for Rapids Waterpark, as it is the biggest attraction ever built in the park’s 45-year history.
