Raging waves how much are tickets

Re-entry is only allowed between am and pm, so if you are planning on packing lunch in the car, you can do so between those times. The Shark Bite Cafe accepts mobile orders and there are QR codes outside the restaurant or you can download the Raging Waves app to order food. All of the tubes are sprayed with disinfectant between uses. We saw staff tending to cleaning throughout the park. There are also hand sanitizing stations along the paths.

Kangaroo Falls is filled with slides, water cannons, rope bridges, water hoses and a dumping bucket. There are lounge chairs around the area and lifeguards on patrol. Quokka-Nut Island was added in Koala Kove was closed when we were there because they were short-staffed that day, but this zero-depth entry pool has 4 slides including the crocodile slide you can see in the photo above. Kookaburra Kreek is a quarter-mile long lazy river that goes all the way around the park with relaxing bends.

You can ride on a one or two person clear tube or without a tube. Please note that the lazy river is closed this year and is not filled.

The Great Barrier Reef is a zero-depth pool that turns into a wave pool at regular intervals. There are three lifeguards on duty in this area. You can float on a tube, but the majority of people bob and swim. Lounge chairs are plentiful and there is even some shade. There are many chairs around the perimeter and showers at the exit to wash off the sand. The Three Sisters pictured below are three different slides that you ride on a single or double tube. The blue slide is the fastest, but my son likes the green one the best.

This attraction is closed for Wild Wallabies are two pink and green slides that were added in You definitely go faster if you lay down, but watch out because water will go up your nose at the end when you do. The Crocodile Mile is one of our favorite waterslides at the park. Wonambi was added in and is one of three in the United States. You go down a cute and then hugh up the side of this thrill ride. You can see it pictured above. Boomerang is our all time favorite waterslide at Raging Waves.

You travel down the tube slide on a four-person raft and then down the chute to swish back and forth high up on the walls as you work your way down the funnel. Cyclone and Platypus Plunge are right next to each other. Cyclone is another funnel slide, but more tame that Boomerang, and Platypus Plunge is a really fast ride.

Both require you to carry a two-person tube up to the top. My son went down this one, but that crossed my thrill threshold. He said he could feel the seams of the slide on his back as he went down, which stung, but it seems to be a huge hit with teenagers. When we first started going to Raging Waves I had the pleasure of meeting the owner of the park, Randy Witt, and could immediately tell that he has a passion for water parks and has considered all of the details. He said that he and his wife had the dream of opening a water park 20 years ago.

They started researching and visiting water parks across the country all of those years until they opened Raging Waves in It was so refreshing to hear his story and authenticity.

There are also a few extras to consider. We usually arrive a few minutes before opening and find a close spot. Maybe if you arrive in the middle of the day and have really little ones it would be worth it, but otherwise I would say skip paying for this extra. With water bottles, flip flops, purse, wallet, keys, phones, and towels, I would recommend a family locker. While we are committed to enhanced standards in an effort to keep you as healthy and safe as possible, we cannot guarantee you will not be exposed.
