Royal Caribbean to open Tidal Wave water slide on Liberty of the Seas in June

The Tidal Wave water slide on Royal Caribbean's Liberty of the Seas has never opened to guests, but there is a new opening date that points to when guests can begin riding it.

Royal Caribbean updated its web site to indicate the new slide, "will be available in June."

The Tidal Wave is the first Boomerang style slide at sea, but has never opened to guests following its addition to the ship earlier this year.

We have heard the reason the slide remains closed is due to concerns of guests' safety while riding.

Royal Caribbean has had to design padding for the areas where guests may impact the slide, and that is being built currently.
