MarioSonic94 Posted May 25, 2008 Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 Awesome spotlight. Thanks Tom and Harry. When are the spotlights of Hurricane Harbor's rides coming out? Luis L. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted May 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 ^ You should see a few Spotlights on some of the HH attractions over the summer months. Those are pretty quick and easy to do because little has changed over the seasons. We needed to divided it up into several Spotlights because we have well over 1500 photos of the park since it opened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great Adventurer Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 (edited) Looks like it's shaping up to be an excellent spotlight! I look forward to the individual spotlights as well! Edited June 2, 2008 by Great Adventurer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetsDevs4Lyf Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 Sounds like a good deal it's like the spotlight that keeps on giving especially through the summer. I'm looking forward to it since I have no real experience inside the water park so it's like a learning experience for me now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Master Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 (edited) Very nice spotlight! I was at HH during it's opening season, the river was not open very much during the first season probably because of staffing issues. During the following years the river would often only be half open and HH still does that every so often. Also during HH's early years they played new age music in the park while in recent years they switched to playing pop music.

29yrswithaGApass Posted June 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 Also during HH's early years they played new age music in the park while in recent years they switched to playing pop music. Right! The song being played on the Opening Season Spotlight page is actually a song from the original park music mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Master Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 I kind of miss the new age soundtrack HH used to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAcoaster Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 I remember for a while they were playing the Survivor soundtrack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetsDevs4Lyf Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 ^ Haha interesting thought. Walk into a water park and the first thing you hear are songs used toinspire people to survive till the end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted June 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 ^ Haha interesting thought. Walk into a water park and the first thing you hear are songs used toinspire people to survive till the end That music would have worked well in Action Park !

JetsDevs4Lyf Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 ^Hahahahahaha omg I think I nearly hit the floor laughing as soon as I saw the comment and picture. I think anything done to HH or GA as a whole will always be better than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Master Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 I have heard about this old dangerous water park with the looping slide before that was in NJ, were in NJ was it? I don't recall seeing any ads for it so I guess it was probably in North NJ outside of the Philly metro area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAcoaster Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 Vernon NJ, right up near Mountain Creek ski area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetsDevs4Lyf Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 It's up here in Vernon. It now goes under the name of Mountain Creek Waterpark and it's not as bad as Action Park was during its peak, but still not the greatest in waterpark experiences. It's connected to a whole resort type area with ski slopes in the winter, and the waterpark and other attractions running in the summer.

The Master Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 (edited) So it's like Camel Beach in PA then. I looked up Vernon on mapquest and that is sure a long way from were I am, no wonder I never heard much about it since it is way up north. SFA is closer to me than that park LOL.

JetsDevs4Lyf Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 Yeah I mean I'm relatively close to it where I am and it's still about 50 minutes from me due to it's location away from too many major roads. Although this park can't really even be compared to HH because there really aren't many similarities. The slides are ok at best, but incredibly shallow in my opinion and the wave pool and Giant Funnel are the two best things, but with such few choices really the lines tend to get quite long. I am really gonna try to get to HH this summer because I've noticed a large gap in my park to waterpark ratio in the last few years and the spotlight has really made me wanna go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Master Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 GAdv's HH should have had a funnel slide installed years ago. I noticed that GAdv's HH is the only major HH park that does not have one which is a shame since it is a large water park but it is kind of thin in spots.

darkridedan Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 I went to Holiday World's Splashin' Safari a couple of weeks ago and loved it. They had the funnel and the toilet bowl slides. They were neat gimmick rides and I think the kids would like them, but I just happened to prefer the traditional slides. I had been to Splashin' Safari three years ago in the end of June on a 100 degree day and hated it. You couldn't get near the funnel slide without waiting in an hour+ line. I'm glad it kept the lines at the other slides down a bit. A funnel slide at HH would be untouchable during a hot day in the summer, but it would be a good value now, especially today! Hurricane Harbor is my favorite waterpark and I have to get back there soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Master Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 (edited) Hershey's boardwalk has both a funnel and a bowl slides which are fun but they do get awlful long lines in the afternoon, of course Hershey only has 4 slides (the funnel and bowl are 2 of them) and a few small body slides in their water playground. SFA's HH also has a funnel slide, I think if GAdv's HH builds a funnel slide they should build it as a double slide tower, one side a funnel and the other a large bowl. In any case it would be nice for HH to get something new after 7 years. The last time HH got something new was the Hurricane slide tower in 2001, HH's second year. One of the odd thing's about HH's opening year was that SF did not advertise it in the Philly metro area which was very unusually since GAdv almost always advertises new rides here, such as TDK billboards along I95 this year.

GAcoaster Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 For Hurricane Harbor additions, while the bowls and tornadoes look impressive, I'd rather see an attraction like Hubba Hubba Highway at Water Country USA added. Most of those other attractions have low capacity, but somethign like HHH takes A LOT of people at once, and it's fun (it's kind of a not-so-lazy river).

The Master Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 Back in the early years for HH they used to be open every day in June unlike now when it does not open on weekdays untill June is almost over. HH also used to be open for a few weekends after Labor Day not close down for the year right after Labor day like now. Anymore HH has a pretty short season compaired to other local water parks.

Railer Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 (edited) I really wish they were still open after dark. If you look around the park every thing has light's on it, even the Lazy River has plenty of light's along the route. It probably looks good all lit up in there, and it's ashame no one is able to see it. Edited July 7, 2008 by Railer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest warnerleroy Posted July 26, 2008 Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 A new attraction is 8 years over due! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
