Tidal Surge Now Open at SeaWorld San Antonio

SeaWorld San Antonio has opened their new S&S Screamin' Swing, named Tidal Surge, to visitors of the Texas theme park. The ride is advertised as the biggest of its kind, standing 105 feet tall and swinging riders up to a maximum of 135 feet in the sky. The above photo from the park shows off that swing nicely, and just how big Tidal Surge is when looked at towering over the park.

After a preview period for pass holders, SeaWorld San Antonio officially opened the ride to anxious guests. The swinging action also hits a maximum speed of 68 miles per hour, which is pretty darn impressive for a flat ride! Each of the two pendulum arms seats 20 riders, both forward and backwards, for a total of 40 riders per each 1 minute and 20 second ride.

The ride's location actually has passengers swinging out over the park's waterski lake, a nice added feature to provide even more thrills. It is also worth noting that the ride received a neat paint job and some additional theming to help it fit in with the park even more.

In additional to Tidal Surge, SeaWorld San Antonio has also opened their new Riptide Race dueling water slide in their Aquatica water park. The ride features two parallel slide paths that start from a 51 foot tower, with several dueling points built into the layout.
