Shark Tooth Cove

This kids’ zone features a bigger pool, more slides, and 360° seating to watch your little ones.

Turtle Creek

Trade in fast rides for a relaxing float in Turtle Creek. This lazy river is a half-mile, slow-moving stream that lets you take a break from the action and enjoy a beautiful summer day.

Force 3

The Force 3 gives you triple the slide action! This ride stands 32-feet tall and features three slides to keep the fun going all day long.

Pirate’s Passage

Take the plunge! Pirate’s Passage riders hop on a double-seater inner-tube and slide down a five-story enclosed tower. It’s fast. It’s furious. It’s fun.

Guests must be 48” tall to ride.

Frantic Atlantic Wave Pool

Catch a ride on these waves! The Frantic Atlantic pool is more than 500,000 gallons of water, and waves reach heights of more than two feet, making it the coolest pool around.

Nature’s Revenge

Nature’s Revenge stands 40 feet tall, and boasts two fierce slides: The Hurricane and The Tornado. Each slide twists and turns, sending riders into a spiral before dropping them off with a splash in the catch pool.

Guests must be 42” tall to ride.
