The Volcano,The Blast Coaster is the first electro magnetically propelled suspended rollercoaster, i.e. this is the first ski lift style coaster that uses a propulsion system of huge electromagnets instead of hills and gravity. It is very quiet, at least until you climb 155 feet, reach top speeds of 70 mph, drop 80 feet, go through 4 inversions, and withstand G forces of 4.2. This explosion coaster is built around an effects-laden, lava-spewing simulated volcano.
A Bigger, Better, Wetter Water Park! It's 16 acres of the wettest stuff around. Start with Big Wave Bay, the 650,000-gallon wave pool that's guaranteed to give moms, dads, and kids a thrill. Add Surf City Splash House, where parents and their kids can play together with over 50 water-filled features... including a swinging bridge, water slides and a 40' high bucket that tips a boatload of water every few minutes. The whole family can get drenched - together. And for the younger ones, there's Lil' Barefoot Beach - home of the shallow pool of big fun. Add Lazy Rider, Sharky's Eats and over 17 thrilling slides - like FreeFallin' and Baja Bends - and you've got the best place around for the wettest family fun!
General park admission is $33.99 for ages 7 and up, with a special price of just $28.99 for our 55-and-over patrons. Three- to six-year-olds pay $24.99, as do older children who are under 48 inches tall (since that's the minimum height requirement for many of the rides).
