Industry Announcements: Kentucky Kingdom adding TornadoBy Chip |
Feb. 16th, 2005 --
Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom announced it is the latest park to be adding a ProSlide Tornado.In the first major expansion since 1998 to Hurricane Bay Water Park, Tornado will blast riders down a 132-foot-long tunnel, leading them to a large, open funnel. Four riders will sit facing each other in cloverleaf-shaped tubes as they slide back and forth in 5,000 gallons of water. The ride ends with a rush through the narrow opening at the bottom. Tornados have been announced at numerous amusement parks in the last two years including Six Flags Astroworld's water park Splashtown, Six Flags St. Louis and most recently Six Flags Darien Lake. Tornado opens May 27. For more information, visit sixflags.com. |
