Waterpark’s 12th Attraction Makes Debut
Memorial Day Weekend
Hurricane Harbor Rockford today debuts the much anticipated and
uniquely designed Tidal Wave. This-state-of-the-art water
attraction is the Midwest’s first and only tailspin waterslide,
towering 43 feet above ground to give riders the experience of
limitless wave riding.
Tidal Wave sends riders through a swirling, spinning
descent from nearly four stories above ground. In addition—for the
first time at any Six Flags park—the attraction features new,
AquaLucent visual effects that create mind-blowing bursts of colors
and dreamlike patterns, intensifying the ride experience for
guests.
“Six Flags is the undisputed leader in innovation and delivery
of record-breaking rides, and our Hurricane Harbor waterparks are
no exception,” said Six Flags Great America Park President Hank
Salemi. “The new Tidal Wave waterslide is unlike anything our
guests have ever experienced before. This unique attraction makes a
great addition to the park as Hurricane Harbor Rockford’s 12th
attraction.”
Tidal Wave highlights include:
- The Midwest’s first and only tailspin waterslide;
- A 43 ft. swirling, spinning descent;
- Three whirling high-speed turns; and
- Vibrant AquaLucent visual effects.
Tidal Wave will be Hurricane Harbor Rockford’s 12th
attraction and will open to the public on May 29, 2021— the
waterpark’s opening day of the season. Guests can make their
reservations to visit and experience Tidal Wave at
