Raging Waters

By , About.com Guide

Overview:

Raging Waters in San Jose features a variety of slides spread across the 23-acre park. Although not as large as its sister park in San Dimas, it hosts some of the same attractions, including Dragon's Den, a tube ride that sends guests circling around a 35-foot bowl overwatched by a mist-breathing dragon.

Raging Waters also features some unique attractions, including Shotgun Falls, a body slide that sends guests plunging into thin air before landing in a 10-foot pool, Barracuda Blaster, a three-person tube ride, and Pirate's Cove, an interactive play area complete with water cannons and a tipping bucket.

New for 2011:

Bombs Away
Brave guests will climb to the top of the slide's tower, enter the capsule, and experience a 55-foot vertical drop after the trap door in the bottom of the capsule is opened. If that's not crazy enough, riders will then enter a near-vertical loop before being deposited (hopefully with bathing suits firmly attached) into a splashdown track.
