Splash into spring when Adventure Island® begins its 2013 season of fun in the sun on Saturday, March 9.  It’s time again to splash in the wave pool, amble down the Rambling Bayou, race down speed slides, including Everglides® and Riptide, or just kick back on the beach amidst a tropical Key West setting,

Adventure Island’s 30 acres of water-drenched excitement feature more than a dozen high-speed thrills, along with cool, laid-back water attractions. From the moment you enter, you’re immersed in a tropical Key West setting. Guests of all ages will enjoy the variety of corkscrew slides, waterfalls, wave pool and a children’s water playground.

Race down Riptide, a high-speed thrill ride where guests compete against three other riders for a competitive mat-slide adventure. Or grab four friends and brave Wahoo Run, an exhilarating river five-person raft ride that sends adventurous guests down 600 feet of drenching twists and drops and back-to-back curves and turns. If you like to enjoy the park at a more leisurely pace, there’s the Rambling River. And for young kids there’s Fabian’s Funport which offers children a wading pool, bubbler springs and jumping water jets.

At Adventure Island, there is plenty of space for your family to settle in and enjoy the sun and fun all day long. For the ultimate experience, rent a cabana, which is an exclusive, shaded space for your family and friends to gather all day long. Cabanas include four lounge chairs, a mini-fridge stocked with assorted drinks, a locker and souvenir towels.

Adventure Island also has outdoor cafes, picnic and sunbathing areas, a gift shop and a championship sand volleyball complex for hours of fun in the sun.
