Six Flags Hurricane Harbor Splashes Into Summer!
No June Gloom Here - Temperatures Expected To Hit Triple Digits
In The Santa Clarita Valley
Six Flags Hurricane Harbor is splashing into the much-anticipated arrival of summer with temperatures in the Santa Clarita Valley expected to top 100 degrees this weekend. Currently open for daily operation, the 25 acre, tropical-themed water oasis features more than 23 slides and attractions including Tornado, a six-story funnel of fun; Black Snake Summit, with two of the tallest enclosed speed slides in Southern California; Lizard Lagoon, a 7,000 square-foot pool for teen and adult activities; Reptile Ridge high-speed body slide complex; Bamboo Racer, an exciting 45-foot-tall, six-lane racing attraction; plus Paradise Pavilion, a catering site for company and group events, and much more!
The exclusive children's water play kingdom, Shipwreck Shores, which offers water play activities for the entire family, has been completely remodeled in the off season. New slides, water cannons, waterfalls, paint and lounging area highlight this section.
For guests wanting a bit more privacy and shade for their families and friends, Hurricane Harbor has added more of its popular cabanas.
"Hurricane Harbor continues to be the perfect summer spot for water lovers of all ages," said Jay Thomas, Park President of Six Flags Magic Mountain & Hurricane Harbor. "With its tropical theme and wide variety of thrilling water adventures, the water park provides unlimited fun for the entire family."
On Tornado, riders are sucked into the beginning of their experience 75 feet in the air by blasting down a 132-foot long tunnel, leading to the mammoth, open-ended funnel. The ride's specially designed 4-person cloverleaf shaped tubes hug the inside of the funnel, splashing back and forth on 5,000 gallons of swirling water into a cool catch pool below.
One of the most thrilling attractions in Six Flags Hurricane Harbor is Black Snake Summit, a 75-foot-tall tower featuring five water slides including Twisted Fang and Coiled Cobra both 500 feet long. Bamboo Racer is a unique six-lane racing attraction that places riders head first, side-by-side, on specially designed water toboggans, guests then speed down the 45-foot-tall water slides.
The sprawling 3.2-acre Lizard Lagoon has a tropical beach resort atmosphere featuring adult and teen activities including a three-and-a-half feet deep recreational pool with basketball hoops, water volleyball and comfortable lounge chairs beneath bamboo shade structures and swaying palm trees.
Other park attractions include Taboo Tower with three different body speed slides including Daredevil Plunge; three twisting, turning open tube slides on Lightning Falls; Tiki Falls with three translucent tube slides; Castaway Cove,; the Forgotten Sea wave pool; and The River Cruise lazy river.
