Am I right in saying that none of the Orlando waterparks have this type of slide? Thanks.

From the article linked to:

...making Hurricane Harbor the premier water park in the Midwest and the only free water park with theme park admission!

Really? Make they should be checking "other" Six Flags news before making a statement like that?

Maybe they figure they can get by with saying that since Hurricane Harbor at SFGAm isn't constructed yet. Or, maybe the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing at Six Flags....Again.

....or, maybe they've been reading the 'Buzz too much, and they're as confused as we are when it comes to defining "Midwest"....

Besides, Indiana is *definitely* Midwest even by the most insane standards, so even if you don't count the *in-process* waterpark in Gurnee, doesn't HW have an included waterpark...

Well it didn't say St.Louis' Hurricane Harbor, so I guess they both fall into that statement. I do think Bill is right though, Holiday World does fall into that category as well.

Frank, thinks that EVERY amusement park uses claims like that in their advertising, not just SF.

My guess is this is the same water slide that will be going in at SFKK since there hint is....

New 2005....
"It's still a BIG secret, but it will definitely BLOW YOU AWAY! Watch for Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom new attraction announcement on Tuesday, February 15, 2005"

Just a guess!

Immitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

Indiana IS considered the midwest, BUT HW is in the southern most part, comming very close to Kentucky, which I consider part of the south.

Yay another geography lesson on Cbuzz!

Joe "cool, another Tornado!" C.

I am always right about everything in life. Tom's my name, Geography's my game.

- Tom "SOUTHERN INDIANA is NOT in the MID-WEST" Huss. Really that dude's signature sums it up. Tornado slides are FUN regaurdless of how they are advertized.

Holiday World is definitely located in the Midwest.

Yes, we're close to Kentucky, which is the South...but we are not a southern state.

...and Splashin' Safari has never had a separate ticket; we've had "two parks for one price" since the water park opened in 1993.
