set to be completely repainted using a relaxing colour palette, reminiscent of summertime on the East Coast. Complementary in-park signage brings bright pops of colour scattered throughout the park, while new Adirondack seating is sure to make the Sandcastle lounging experience second to none. Guests will also want to drop in this summer

As the countdown hits zero, the floor suddenly vanishes, propelling riders at a jaw-dropping 26 feet per second down 300 feet of soaking, splashing fun. Located on the same tower as the infamous Lighting Express, Bombs Away promises to deliver an equally thrilling experience.
