    ZOMG ‘No one knows who will drop first’: Would you brave the world’s steepest water slide?




    Kerry McQueeney

    There’s no mystery surrounding what will happen if you dare ride the Breakaway Falls.

    One moment thrill-seekers stand upright in an enclosed tube. The next, they free fall in a terrifying vertical drop.

    The worst part is, they have no idea when it will happen.

    The moment between entering the pod and a water park worker releasing the trap door has to be one of the most nerve-wracking theme park experiences.

    The water slide is the latest attraction to open at the Sea World Orlando Aquatica park in Florida.

    Only part I dont like is the enclosed part.. I feel like the other end could get clogged and I would drown.. But I'm weird like that.

    they should intersect the tracks at certain points so the riders may collide badly with each other
