New Adventure Island water slide kicks off with 70-foot drop

Adventure Island‘s newest water slide will give you a sinking feeling, thanks to its sudden 70-foot drop.

The new ‘Vanish Point’ ride at Busch Gardens’ water park gets you started in a hurry, literally pulling the floor out from under you and sending you hurtling through a slide over 400 feet long.

FOX 13’s Merissa Lynn previewed the ride on a surprisingly chilly 50-degree Thursday, and afterwards proclaimed the drop to be “terrifying.”

For a sec I thought she was gonna hold the mic and I was so nervous that she would😂

I leaned forward and I swear it felt like I didn't touch anything for about a second and a half... I used to jump into quarries years ago and it was the same feeling except you don't get to jump out...

I'm glad you made this video because there's a water slide like that where I'm at and I was really scared! But this definitely made me feel more at ease. 🤗

Would love to see more of the third person camera mount view, it gives a unique feel to the video!

I tried in our local water park, and you feel like falling from a 5th Floor building. 😂

i live 30 mins out from this water park. I personally am too much of a sissy to ride this after 4 years but my friends bf did it and he got his back scraped up from where the slide connects but besides that it was really fun for him.
