Bigger slides, bigger thrills, and even more fun for the entire family! The north half of Water World is undergoing a major transformation featuring an all-new Endless River and two huge 5-person family raft slides! One slide will feature an exciting yet not-too-scary combination of spirals, tunnels, and dips. The other slide will begin with a semi-translucent helix, then take a white-knuckle plunge before climbing a nearly vertical wave-shaped wall, giving a moment of zero-gravity weightlessness. Our new Endless River will offer the same relaxing experience we’ve all known and loved, but with a new variety of interactive water elements and a modern, more accessible design featuring zero-depth entry and exit. A few years down the road, Phase II of this project will feature additional dueling and twister inner tube slides unlike anything else in Water World!
Waldameer is a great “mom-n-pop” old school amusement park, if anyone has never been I encourage you to go. As much as adding to the water park is important, at some point investment should be made in a coaster. I’ve always thought a Premier Sky Rocket would be a great fit; minimal foot print, great aerial views of the lake from the barrel roll, hits the thrill target market, and it’s the right capacity for their attendance levels that could pay for itself in a couple seasons. Of course another option is the great work Vekoma is doing and they also have some layout options that could work.
