29yrswithaGApass Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 Given a realistic budget, what one thing would you like to see installed next at Hurricane Harbor? Include details like location, colors, features, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdc12192 Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 I wouldn't mind seeing a 'bowl' type slide, water coster, or although close to 'tornado'- a tornado24 by proslide like the one at Great Wolf Lodge in PA- That ride was loads of fun. Just something that is fun and guaranteed to get wet on. I also wouldn't mind seeing drop capsule rides, although body slides are not my preferred type of slide. Definitely think next addition should go by Big wave racer or the slides by the kids play area since that is the only slide complex on that side of the park.

Nitro1118 Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 A water coaster like Typhoon at SFNE would be an amazing addition. After years of hype I was still very impressed with the water coaster concept, it was a ton of fun and they are quite versatile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoshi Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 I'd like to see a water coaster, something like Wildebeest or Mammoth at Holiday World. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunawayArrow Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 I think Splash Water Oasis should be move to Hurricane Harbor as a "new" attraction beside big wave racer, that attraction is so annoying and makes no sense in the park.

SFGadv123 Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 They need a drop box slide. Remember they were going to install them on The Falls but instead they got that joke-of-a-slide King Cobra. A lot of water parks are installing them the past few years so I think it's time HH joined them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted July 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 I'd like to see us get one of these multi-featured towers and would like to see it built to the left of Big Wave Racer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertleax Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 (edited) I'd like to see us get one of these multi-featured towers and would like to see it built to the left of Big Wave Racer. I like that idea. Especially if they work it like the mat slides... One guard/op at top and one guard/op at bottom... Let they go all at the same time also. I would seem like the lines would go a lot faster then. what I meant was have them all on one level next to each other like the mat slides and end up finishing up next to each other.

THRASHERS35 Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 I think that it would be awesome to get this. It is not a perfect design but the idea is good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted July 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 ^ That's an interesting ride! I wonder if you have two riders that are different weights, do they catch up with each other or even collide? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 ^ That's an interesting ride! I wonder if you have two riders that are different weights, do they catch up with each other or even collide?LOL I don't remember what happens when you drop a quarter in one side of those change collecting stations and a dime in the other. Does the quarter catch up? I will have to make a trip past the mall and try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coaster Justin Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 Something like this 100ft Tall with 3 Tube and 4 Body Slides A Proslide Rocket slide would be 2nd place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoshi Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 Screamscape posted about a stand up waterslide. It looks interesting and would give Hurricane Harbor something no one else in the US has but I don't know if it would work out well for Hurricane Harbor or any park in the US for that matter since it looks like it could be a lawsuit waiting to happen if someone fell off the side or slipped.

Password121 Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 To be perfectly honest (and I mean this in the most respectful way possible), too many people in America would be too large to ride a water slide of that style. The rider shown is fairly trim and only had a few inches wiggle room on each side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertleax Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 Something like this 100ft Tall with 3 Tube and 4 Body Slides A Proslide Rocket slide would be 2nd place. From Geauga Lake??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THRASHERS35 Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 my problem with that is it looks kind of basic we need something special Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Railer Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 I have always preferred "mat slides" like "Big Wave Racer". More speed, and more fun. Tube slides get boring real quick. But i want a "not so lazy" Lazy River, something with some rapids like Schlitterbahn has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Master Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 What I would like to see is the removal of the Qbot system and installing a decent management team to run the park better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Master Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 (edited) I like that idea. Especially if they work it like the mat slides... One guard/op at top and one guard/op at bottom... Let they go all at the same time also. I would seem like the lines would go a lot faster then. what I meant was have them all on one level next to each other like the mat slides and end up finishing up next to each other. The towers like that at Hershey, people get into arguments on who is waiting for which slide. Longer lines for one slide will block the stairs so nobody can get by to a shorter wait slide. Hershey had to add another stairway to partly fix the issue. Edited August 4, 2015 by The Master Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted August 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 Hurricane Harbor closed on Sunday (AGAIN!) with capacity crowds. It seems like it has happened more this year than ever. It would be great if that translated into something new soon for HH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertleax Posted August 17, 2015 Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 I was going to go again this Sunday but since I was there last Sunday and it hit capacity then also, it was not enjoyable at all any more. I would be highly upset if I was just bring my family up there for 1 day, paid full price for tickets and being able to only go on 1 or 2 slides.

The Master Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 That would be awlful. HH has been both so crowded and poorly operated that I have only been there twice this year and don't plan on going for a third trip either. Rather stay in my own pool or go the many better local waterparks in the area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fgcassady Posted January 1, 2016 Report Share Posted January 1, 2016 Well we got Carribbean Cove, I think 2019 we will get our next addition, hopefully a slide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
