Hydro Plunge

FEED YOUR NEED FOR ADVENTURE ON OUR
WATER COASTER

Find out what it's like to ride a combination water slide and roller coaster! On Hydro Plunge, a motorized track slowly propels your tube up a steep climb, only to send you plunging down a thrilling 52-foot vertical drop. Hold on tight as you zip through enclosed tubes and quick-change, twisting curves. It's a unique roller-coaster-style water slide that’s sure to keep you and your pack howling for more. Designed for the more adventuresome family members, you can tackle this one in tandem tubes or even ride triple for three times the fun.
