Riptide - Florida's First
Four-Lane Mat Slide

Race three other riders for a competitive adventure like no other. All four racers start by lying on the mat and being released simultaneously from a height of 55 feet into their own enclosed tubes. Racers then twist through a hairpin turn before plunging into four open-air lanes for a drenching. You must be at least 42" tall to ride Riptide.
