Darien Lake Water Park Overview:

A relatively small water park, (the park don't even give it its own name-- it's just "the Darien Lake waterpark"), it features the Tornado funnel ride, the Big Kahuna family raft ride, the 'Cuda Bay slide complex, the Crocodile Isle wave pool, and Hook's Lagoon, an interactive water play area for the young kiddos. Like many parks that have grown organically through the years, the water park is a bit disjointed and spread among the dry rides.
