Discover Zoom Flume's Rides

Zoom Flume is home to eight exciting water slides. Each one offers a different kind of adventure!

Thrilling Water Slides

  • The Black Vortex is a super popular slide. You'll zoom through a dark tunnel on a double tube, making it extra exciting!
  • The Wild River lets groups of up to six people ride together. You'll all hop into a big raft and twist and turn down the slide.
  • The Zoom Flume slide is perfect for a race! It has two lanes where you can compete against a friend on mats. See who splashes into the pool first!
  • The Mighty Anaconda is a body slide, meaning you go down without a raft. Get ready for a splashy finish in the Lagoon Activity Pool!
  • Twin Tubing sends two riders down a steep track together. The track rises at the end to bring your tubes to a stop.
  • The Canyon Plunge is another body slide. You'll zoom down a steep tube without a raft for a quick, thrilling ride.
  • The Grand Prix Splashway is a racing slide for three riders. You'll speed down parallel tracks to see who wins!
  • Thrill Hill is like the Grand Prix, but it's a bit smaller. Riders go down on tubes instead of on their backs.

Fun Play Areas and More

Beyond the slides, Zoom Flume has five awesome play areas and other cool attractions to explore.

  • Riptide Cove Wave Pool is the park's newest water attraction, opened in 2010. Get ready to ride the waves!
  • The Lazy River is a relaxing ride that circles Pelican Pond. It even goes under the Black Vortex and Twin Tubing slides.
  • Wild Water West is a fun play area where you can spray water at your friends. Get ready for a water fight!
  • The Lagoon Activity Pool is right at the park's entrance. It has lots of water-spraying devices and a cool Tiki statue that sprays water too!
  • Pelican Pond is a smaller pool designed for younger kids. It has fun sprayers and a little slide just for them.
  • Gravity Gorge Zip Line is an amazing adventure! It stretches almost 800 feet long and is over 100 feet high. You'll launch from a tower near the Wild River slide and land near the wave pool.

Places to Eat

All that fun makes you hungry! Zoom Flume has four food stands where you can grab a snack or a meal.

  • The River Grille is a food court located in the middle of the park.
  • The Pit Stop Snack Bar is right next to the River Grille, perfect for a quick bite.
  • The Country Place Restaurant and Bar is located across the creek, next to the Wave Pool.
  • Mama Jean's Pizza is a pizza shack also located next to the wave pool. Perfect for a cheesy slice!
