Darien Center, N.Y. - Six Flags Darien Lake will hold a ribbon cutting ceremony for the water park’s newest water slide, Wahoo Wave and the rebrand of our water park to Hurricane Harbor. Experience the 60-foot-tall addition that will rank as one of the tallest water rides in Hurricane Harbor. Following a six-story climb to the top of the tower Wahoo Wave riders will twist through a hairpin turn, followed by a corkscrew. Without warning, riders in four-person tubes will plunge down an unforgettable, three-story drop. This adrenaline-packed adventure will send riders into near-vertical motions to experience extended hang times and zero g-forces.
PHOTO OP: Park President Chris Thorpe will be joined by representatives to celebrate the grand opening. Directly following the press event, Six Flags Darien Lake personnel will be available for Interviews. Media is invited to cool off and experience Wahoo Wave for themselves.
