Early in the 2009 season, Splash in the Boro will be opening 3 brand new attractions. Included in these are the area’s only Flowrider, a simulated wave ride that allows you to boogie board or even surf just as you would on the Bonzai Pipeline. Next you can climb 5 stories high and streak down one of the 5 lanes on the newly installed Mat Racer slide. At over 350’, it is a thrill you will not want to miss. And for those guests looking to really cool down, a brand new 6,600 square foot play pool will be waiting for you. With over 25 spray features, it includes water cannons, rooster tail sprays, and dumping buckets. The new play pool will also feature two new water slides designed for guests under 48”.

“Splash in the Boro has had 5 very successful seasons, and we are excited about opening these new attractions for our guests,” said Mike Rollins, Parks and Recreation Director. “We are doing everything we can to get these rides ready for our 2009 Summer season, and we are committed to providing the highest quality and safest environment for our patrons.”

Guests will also be greeted with a new dining option as a brand new food and beverage stand will be opening. From sandwiches to salads, guests will find a healthier option available. New restrooms, a cooler deck topping on the interior concrete, and a fresh coat of paint on the pools will all make the 2009 experience at Splash in the Boro more guest friendly.
