THE ATTRACTIONS

Whether you are young or old you will find plenty to do at Deep River Waterpark. The little ones will have fun in Paddles Play Land a special area for the younger guests of Deep River Waterpark


For the adventure seekers you should try one of the many slide rides. There are the body slides one is enclosed and the other open. Also a tube slide for your enjoyment. In 1996 an attraction that was added is a very high set of slides called the Storm. The T-shirt I wish they would come up with is I survived The Storm at Deep River Waterpark. Anyway the storm consists of 3 separate slides each very unique. The Vortex will take you on a cuving adventure. In the middle there is the abyss a straight drop and very quick. Finally there is the Cyclone with the improvemtnt this year 2 riders (they are slowly but surely working on the sign that disturbed me) on the tube in this is a curved slide as well. On the Vortex and Abyss you can ride double on tubes

Another attraction you can enjoy is the wave pool. The waves come on approximately every 15 minutes In the pool there are 500,000 gallons of heated water which alternate between calm and waves.

For those of you looking to relax get yourself a tube and kick back and stretch out in the Lazy River. This is also a great place to catch some rays.
