Thanks!

At this point, there appears to be no vertical
construction of the slides yet, however the
main entrance building for the water park is
well underway.
Check back on this page for construction
updates and more information. |

Whirlpool
Whirlpool, where speed and centrifugal force will keep you
glued to the outside wall of a 40-foot diameter bowl! You’ll
experience multiple thrilling revolutions and a 50-foot drop
before reaching the refreshing splashdown channel below! The
Whirlpool advent ure
begins once you and a friend board a customized two-person
tube. You’ll enter a suspense-filled 54-inch in diameter,
enclosed tunnel slide, quickly accelerating into a long,
arching right hand turn leading to further surprises. During
the course of your journey, you’ll experience multiple
revolutions inside a 40-foot diameter giant bowl, before
slowly decelerating through the corkscrew slide finale. A
custom enclosure over the bowl will allow for special
lighting and sound effects throughout!

• Big
Bender
Located adjacent to and at times intertwining with Whirlpool
will be Big Bender, a second unique tube slide, but
providing an entirely different experience! On Big Bender,
you and a friend will plunge down dips and curves, blast
through tunnels and thrill to spectacular twists and turns
alternating in unexpected darkness and daylight! With an
impressive flume length of over 400-feet and a heart-racing
50-foot drop, Big Bender may accommodate up to 720 riders
per hour.

Hill
Country Racer
Located in an entirely different area at the water park will
be Hill Country Racer, a six-lane speed slide attraction.
You and up to five friends may race head first on specially
designed mats up peaks and down valleys in a race to the
finish!
• Splashwater
Springs
With somewhat different appeal, the little tykes have
certainly not been forgotten with the unveiling of a very
special area designed just for them, Splashwater Springs!
Located in the upper tier of the water park, this area
boasts excitement on an appropriately smaller scale, but
with all the enchantment and awe a younger audience
appreciates! Elements include a Pirate Ship, Beached Boat
Slide, Water-squirting Palm Trees and Friendly Whales, Frogs
and Turtles. All these fun attractions are nestled within
and around two separate shallow lagoons, framed by lush
landscaping and convenient rest and food facilities.
|
• Various
Upgrades
To add to the increased appeal of the water park, an
entirely re-designed entry plaza featuring a landmark water
tower and new merchandise facility will also be included.
The broader entry will allow easier access to the new
attractions plus expanded food and merchandise locations. At
the Beach Bum Surf Co., you’ll be able to pick up any items
you may have forgotten, as well as customized water park
apparel. |
