FEATURES & ATTRACTIONS
Vanish PointTM: Guests are in for the slide of their lives on Adventure Island’s epic drop slide, Vanish Point®. Inspired by the point on a wave where water and gravity form a perfect partnership, the crest of this 70-foot tower challenges you with two 425 ft. wave paths. Step into one of two skyboxes, and face your fears as the floor disappears beneath you. Or, get horizontal on a 455-foot long slide ending with a high-speed finale.
Colossal CurlTM: Hurtle high above Adventure Island® and experience a feeling of weightlessness aboard Colossal CurlTM, the park's newest family raft ride. True to its name and holding up to four passengers, this mega slide delivers a high-adrenaline, action-packed adventure, making it the ultimate family thrill slide.
Riptide: Florida’s first four-lane mat slide is a guest favorite at Adventure Island®. Riptide allows guests to compete against three other riders for a competitive mat-slide adventure. All four racers are released simultaneously from a height of 55 feet into their own tubes, twisting through a hairpin turn before plunging into four open-air lanes for a drenching finish.
Wahoo Run: This exhilarating five-person river raft ride sends adventurous guests down 600 feet of drenching twists and drops and back-to-back curves and turns. The thrill slide has a unique tunnel design that alternates sections of daylight and darkness, while four waterfall curtains douse unsuspecting guests during their journey.
