FAMILY RAFT RIDE More Hooah! Oorah! Hooyah! And Woooo hoooooo,

coming for the summer of 2018

Virginia Beach, Virginia, October 4, – Ocean Breeze Waterpark will add a massive family raft ride to its unique collection of slides and attractions, for the summer of 2018.

“We are especially excited about this star spangled addition, because families will have the opportunity to experience the ride, together,” shared General Manager, Brian Baker. “With 10 main turns varying from 90 to 360 degrees we expect this ride to not only be a shared experience, but an exhilarating one.”

Beginning atop a towering 70 foot high platform, riders can board four person tubes to experience an unforgettable adventure together. This mega-tube serpentine raft ride will blast visitors into a dark, enclosed tunnel with a series of unpredictable twists and turns, breathtaking drops, and back-to-back curves. The raft will then shoot through the tunnel opening, splash through the wildly fun s-shaped waterway while catching some major hang time along high bank walls before hitting splashdown in the catch pool.

“We will capture a bit of Virginia military spirit with the ride theming and look forward to announcing the name soon,” said Baker.

The spectacular red and blue addition will unfurl over the classic waterpark attraction Jungle Falls and sit adjacent to the thrill ride, The Hurricane. The tower will feature a tube conveyor lift to transport visitor’s tubes to the top of the attraction. Development will be handled by ProSlide Technology, an innovative leader in the manufacturing of award-winning water park thrill rides. The company has installed thousands of slides in hundreds of waterparks across the world including Ocean Breeze sister parks: Wet ‘n’ Wild SplashTown in Texas, Nashville Shores in Tennessee, and Rapids Water Park in Florida.

The addition of the family raft ride represents another multi-million dollar expansion for Ocean Breeze Waterpark.

Ocean Breeze Waterpark also utilizes the property to host special events and private gatherings of 40 to 4000.
