APRIL 2018
A massive outdoor resort pool will form the centerpiece of the latest addition to the Great Wolf Resorts waterpark chain. Paul Ruben takes a look at the array of family attractions that will feature at the sixteenth Great Wolf development
ProSlide products take centre stage Triple Thunder is a group raft ride that combines two water park attractions into one slide. The ride starts by plummeting guests down a steep drop and into a funnel, where they will experience sensations of weightlessness as the raft sloshes up-and-down the funnel walls. Upon exiting the funnel, the raft swooshes towards two saucers. The saucers provide additional excitement as guests hurl at maximum
speeds along the bank of the saucer, swirl 180º and exit through a narrow passageway – all in the dark. A few extra twists and turns await after the saucers before riders finally plunge into a catch pool at the bottom of the slide. Two-person tube-racing slide Rapid Racer,
meanwhile, features plenty of thrills with drops, chutes and serpentine curves. As riders emerge from the 180º and 360º banked curves they enter a section with open racing lanes where they can see and hear their competition on the other side of a low separator wall. The slide features three rally points where guests can see their competition as both careen down this water attraction.
The water park also features a number of favourite water park attractions from other Great Wolf Lodges. Fort Mackenzie is a multi-level tree house water
fort that combines suspension bridges, treetop slides, swinging cargo nets and spray stations. The park’s signature tipping bucket dumps 1,000 gallons (3,785 liters) of water every four minutes. Two three- story body slides are attached to Fort Mackenzie: Continued overleaf
