n Pittsburgh, Sandcastle will open its newest water slide, Bombs Away - a 305-foot-long freefalling flight of screaming, soaking fun – in 2022. This extreme new drop slide will debut as a central part of the ultimate Steel City Summer coming to Sandcastle. Sliders will step into an enclosed capsule when, without warning, the floor beneath their feet abruptly vanishes and drops them down into a twisting, turning loop through a closed-tube fly-by down six stories at speeds up to 26 feet per second.
“Guests have been waiting to blast off on Bombs Away and Sandcastle’s newest attraction is perfect for all water park thrill-seekers,” said Kennywood and Sandcastle general manager Mark Pauls. “This drop is over the top, and riders will love looping around and around to the splash down.”
