Solar Vortex water slide to open at Adventure Island this March

Adventure Island water park in Tampa, Fla. is kicking off its 2020 season on Friday, March 13 with the opening of the record-breaking new water slide, Solar Vortex.

Once open, Solar Vortex will be America’s first dual tailspin water slide. After experiencing it for himself, Adventure Island’s new Vice President, Brandon Thom, had this to say:

“Adventure Island is heading into its 40th splash-filled season and we couldn’t be more excited to kick-off 2020 by adding America’s first dual tailspin water slide to our portfolio of slides. As a family raft slide, Solar Vortex packs a bigger thrill than I was expecting — the high speed generated by the tailspin feature really amps up the ride journey.”

Solar Vortex features new water slide elements that are unlike any other attraction at Adventure Island. The family raft slide offers high-banking rotations and rapid descents, sending riders on a wild journey through two open tailspins. The new water slide also has three AquaLucent elements, using the Florida sun to create colorful patterns in the slide.
