Saying only that the new slide will stand 105 feet in height, Aquatica Orlando has started teasing their 2014 new addition.

The park points out that they recently did a height test using a balloon, hence the image they released above, to see just how tall a 105 foot slide would appear on the property. The exact nature of the slide is still a secret, however.

This post of Facebook clarifies the record that will be broken by the slide - just a bit - saying only that "it will be the tallest water thrill ride of its type in Orlando." There are a lot of really cool looking slides on the market these days, perhaps this could be a trap-door type slide, or perhaps even one that features a loop after the first drop? Usually really tall water park attractions are body slides, and the Aqua-Loop slides certainly have a lot of marketing potential.

I could be totally wrong, though! Either way the park plans to do a full reveal sometime in the future so we will have to keep on the lookout.
