In addition to a new name for Northern California's biggest and most thrilling waterpark, there's a new look, fun and thrilling additions and Splashwater Island, the largest new attraction in over a decade.
Adding to the park's exciting line-up of thrill rides, as well as to the DC Universe, is Batman: The Ride! This 4D Wing Coaster is first of its kind on the West Coast!
