Wild Rivers

About the Park

Wild Rivers is an enormous water park with a diverse array of attractions for people of all ages. The sprawling 20 acre facility features something for everyone, and the Wild Rivers Mountain is a colossal complex of water slides that features 10 individual attractions. Many water parks tend to offer incredible thrill rides, but often neglect to provide such wonderful attractions for small children. Yet at this park, the thrill rides feature miniature duplicates so that children of all ages can participate in the excitement. The warm southern California weather makes indoor water parks obsolete.

Rides and Attractions

This family theme park features numerous slides, activity pools, inner tube rides, wave pools, and lounging areas. Some of the popular rides include:

• Bazooka Bowls: Get launched from a 4 story platform into the enormous Bozooka Tube barrel. There you go round and round, accelerating like a cannonball, spinning in circles until you plunge into the raging water below.
• Hurricane Harbor: Enjoy surfing and boogie boarding in the artificial waves of Hurricane Harbor.
• Lake Victoria: A great play pool with numerous attractions to choose from, including the Mat-o-Rama and Funball. This is a perfect pool for parents to take young children.
• Monsoon Lagoon: An amazing wave pool ideal for inner tubing, body surfing, and swimming. The whistle rings when the waves are about to begin.
• River Rapids: A true thrill ride. Slide down the side of Wild Rivers Mountain on an exhilarating 500 foot plunge aboard a single or double tube, splashing into the landing pool.
• Sunshine Terrace: Enjoy the comfortable lounges which overlook Lake Shanalee.
