Splash Away Bay waterpark at Quassy Amusement Park in Connecticut, US, will get “supercharged” for the 2018 season, park officials have announced.
Three large water raft rides with a combined length of more than 1,000ft will be constructed during the offseason, bringing the number of slides in the lakeside complex to 15.
The new slides will be provided by ProSlide Technology of Ontario, Canada, which also developed the waterpark’s previous attractions.
The largest of the three giant slides will be a TantrumTwist, also known as Tornado, which will accommodate two-person rafts.
Two gigantic Pipeline serpentine raft slides will round out the three-ride attraction. The new slides will all depart from one platform and conclude in runoff troughs near Saturation Station.
“We’re thrilled that we can start the project later this summer and have it completed for the waterpark’s opening next year,” said park president, Eric Anderson.
The waterpark expansion will be the single-largest investment in the park’s history, Anderson noted.
