According to WSB-TV, the ride, named the Apocalypto, is part of the expansion at Margaritaville Lanier Islands and will make history with the largest “blasterango drop” in the United States. It propels riders up and downhill at a breathtaking average speed of 30 mph. This innovative feature promises a rush, setting a new benchmark for nationwide thrill rides. “Apocalypso is a fusion of heart-pounding drops and uphill blasts that will keep you on the edge of your seat. It starts with the largest drop of its kind in the U.S., sending riders on rafts down steep valleys and blasting them up hills. You’ll experience a dramatic final valley before a near-vertical ascent up the wall of Apocalypso, with one last surprise hump for an electrifying finish. This incredible attraction spans 418 feet of slide,” the company said in a statement.
Additionally, the tower will be the starting point for three other slides called the Serpentine Storm, Dreamsicle Dive, and Mango Mania. These rides were designed with younger riders in mind. “Bucky” Perry, Vice President of Margaritaville at Lanier Islands, shared his enthusiasm about the project: “This blockbuster tower of slides, featuring Georgia’s first waterslide coaster, will be an epic addition to Margaritaville at Lanier Islands.” He further emphasized, “For those seeking an escape and a nonstop day of high-speed intensity thrills and family fun, Margaritaville at Lanier Islands is the place to be.”
