Riders live through the feeling of a real Tsunami by an 85ft drop which plunges them through the lagoon making one of the largest waves in the world created by a water ride. Watch out for the interesting queue line features, and be cautious as you exit the station, another wave can hit! I doubt it would make a difference though, you would have already been soaked to the skin. The person dryer at the exit could help.

  • Big Splash boats. The 2 boats leave the station and are hoisted straight up the hill, then around the corner and down a slope, splashing into the lake. Anyone standing 200 yards away from the splashing point will still get wet.
  • The exit ramp is designed so that it is just the right length so that by the time you are crossing the bridge, the next boat is splashing down. Watch out.
  • You will get very wet...no matter where you sit!
