Barracuda Bay
Sounds challenging huh... you'll find an 18,000 square foot pool with three interactive play areas. It has a four and one-half story tree house with all kinds of gadgets and gizmos and slides!

Sea Splash

But what are these?... they're body slides!

Slippery Seals is a 63' tower with a 310 foot slide (and in some parts of it... it's dark and enclosed!).

Sea Snakes is a 51' tower that challenges riders for 200 feet in a bowl shaped slide section where you slide around the side of the bowl in a ciruclar motion!

Sea Tubes starts at 51' and you'll find a few challenges along the way!

Cyclone
Dropping from a 55' start you'll reach speeds of 20 miles per hour! It's an extreme 4 person raft that cruises into the largest enclosed reducing - radius tunnel in the world!

Tahitian Twister
From 55' up... on a five person raft you'll go through total darkness... well I can't say anymore that would spoil the fun!
