Splashwater Kingdom Water Park at The Great Escape Overview:
Since it's bisected by The Comet roller coaster, Splashwater Kingdom has a bit of an odd layout. The water park offers a number of slides and attractions, including Capt'n Hook's Adventure River, the Lumberjack Splash Wave Pool, and the huge Black Cobra enclosed tube slides. (It's so huge, rather than make riders schlep tubes up the long stairs, a conveyor belt lifts the tubes to the loading area.) Paul Bunyan's Bucket Brigade and Noah's Sprayground are two interactive water play areas that can keep kids entertained (and cool) for hours.
