Marineland announces "highest" freefall ride

Well, according to Screamscape, which confirmed this a few months ago, the tower will be 300' and the ride will be situated on top of a 150' man made mountain, the hopes of the park is to possibly see the falls from the highest point.

Is it a S & S Power?

either S&S or intamin

It is indeed S&S... and it's a triple tower, but there's no specific word on what the ratio is going to be for the drop vs the turbo shot.

But how can they have the Worlds Highest free fall ride, from what I read it wont come even close to the height of the Stratosphere Tower

It isn't so bad. . .
Once you're used to it

According to the January 6 Amusement Business they are combo towers (essentially the same set-up as in Texas except on a hill and without the flagpole).

"Highest" triple tower :-P

The Big Shot technically isn't a "freefall" ride because it is a space shot, I guess. Clever wordplay doesn't make the ride any better or worse, though.

I always thought this park had room for a lot of development. As cool of a ride as the Dragon Mountain coaster is, I'd love to see them get another coaster or a "marine" themed dark ride.

Any news on when all the new attractions will be ready, including the World's Largest Aquarium Complex, i.e. will the be ready for next year?

True that *clever wordplay* won't make the ride any better or worse, but the advertising on the ride is at least *accurate*. Given the amount of grief parks are given for their "potentially misleading" ads, at least this ride is billed exactly AS IS....highest, freefall....not tallest, not a turbo shot ride...;)
