• The Storm - You push yourself down into a steep tunnel that sends you flying down extreemly fast into a giant bowl that sends you spinning around with mist surrounding as you drop into the pool below.
• Mach 5 - Grab a mat and walk your way up a long winding tower to the top where you have three slides to choose from. When told by the lifeguard at top, push yourself down the ride of a twisting, turning, head-first flumes that fall 1,700 feet over three different courses.
• Der Stuka - Push yourself down a six-story speed slide that sends you flying down a 250-foot, nearly vertical drop that transitions to a 115-foot water runway.
