There is a small place in North Carolina that has suddenly skyrocked onto the map. Emerald Pointe opened up the past couple of years a 76 foot tall free fall slide, some Pipeline Peak-type slides, and this year they just opened a Caripro suspended water-play coaster. They have an awesome wave pool where you can literally surf and they have tons of other awesome rides as well.
