After an extra year of anticipation, Catapult Falls is finally opening at SeaWorld San Antonio. The ride is being marketed as the world's first flume coaster. Manufactured by Intamin, Catapult Falls features two world's first elements: a 30 ft / second launch and the steepest drop for a flume at 53 degrees.
Catapult Falls has an outdoor theme featuring many nods to both camping and the San Antonio area. The attraction is located on the site of the former Texas Splashdown ride nestled between Penguin Encounter and Wave Breaker. Catapult Falls opens March 2nd.

If you're expecting Chiapas or Dudley Do-Right, it's not going to be that, but in the realm of modern flume rides this ride is a ride like no other and certainly will be a crowd pleaser.

During the preview event, I made sure to ride in every seat. The middle rows are the driest. The back row is the wettest, but also the most thrilling.

The front row of course provides the best view, and if you get lucky, may not result in you getting soaked.
