This enclosed water slide will heighten all your other senses as you shoot through the dark to the bottom at a raging speed and into the splash pool. Dare it by yourself or grab a friend to join you on the double-person tube.
Solar Vortex
This high-thrill family raft slide combines high-banking rotations and rapid descents, sending sliders on a swirling journey through two open tailspin features.

Each slide will send you through 425 feet of spiralling tubes until you reach the splash run finale. Are you brave enough to take on Vanish Point®?
Wahoo Remix
Enjoy waves of water and sound as you splash to the beat of a remixed favourite attraction.
Formerly Wahoo Run, Wahoo Remix is Adventure Island’s first water slide to feature synchronized light and sound elements, delivering an all-new, high energy, family raft ride experience with ultimate party vibes. Enclosed tunnels that were once dark glow and groove as riders zoom through over 600 feet of fun.

Splash Attack
Splash Attack® is a maze of soakin' fun with a surprise centrepiece and a huge tree house with more than 50 water play toys. There's no telling what you will get you wetter, the 1,000-gallon wooden bucket that empties every seven minutes or the 500 feet of twisting open flumes and closed tubes gushing with swirling water. The tree house is filled with water toys like jets, levers, and rope pulls, plus twisting slides, bridges, cargo nets, and web crawls.
