Tornado

Plunge into the eye of the storm. First, you ascend to the scaffold, 75 feet above the ground. Then, your raft plummets down a tunnel, hurling you into a giant funnel, which spins you around its 60-foot diameter like a wet rag doll.

  • Spin down the largest funnel you've ever seen
  • Splash through a waterfall to the wet and wild finale
  • Get good and wet—Tornado cycles 5,000 gallons a minute
