Infinity Falls is a river raft ride manufactured by Intamin located at SeaWorld Orlando in Orlando, Florida. The ride opened on October 4, 2018, holding the record for tallest drop on a river raft ride. This record was previously held by River Quest in Phantasialand with a drop of 36 feet.[1]
History
On July 18, 2018, the ride's tower was topped-out.[2][3][4] By August 2018, it was reported that the ride's delay in opening was attributed to testing and weather among several other circumstances.[5] On September 19, 2018, the walls surrounding the area came down.[6] Though the ride was still in testing, a media day was announced a few days later.[7][8] Employee testing began on September 27, 2018,[9] with the ride soft-opened on September 28, 2018 with an official opening set in October 2018.[10][11] Infinity Falls officially opened on October 4, 2018.[12][13]
