WhiteWater West's Family Boomerang |
Arizona saw the launch of a new US-based waterpark in June 2009 with a range of WhiteWater West’s signature attractions. Wet 'n' Wild Phoenix spans 35 acres at the Adobe Dam Regional Park and has a number of WhiteWater West's signature attractions, including North America's first Family Boomerango. Winner of the 2008 IAAPA Best Product Award, this six-person ride fires riders vertically up a wall, before falling back, passing over a transition hump and into a splashdown pool below. There are also two-seater duelling Master Blaster uphill water coasters, featuring parallel slide paths that are the full length of the ride, with gravity-defying drops and curves. The eight-lane Whizzard sends riders through enclosed serpentine AquaTubes, before they race side by side in a multi-lane configuration.
