Waldameer is installing the first piece of their new water ride, Rocket Blast.　It’s said that the ride will have up to 4 guests riding down 800 feet of slides on toboggan style rafts, and features 3 uphill sections, 3 large turns, and stands at 67 feet tall.　

According to Steve Gorman, Waldameer’s General Manager & President, they’ve had a lot of construction delays, mostly on material getting delivered here in time, but where they’re going to work as hard as they can to get this slide done.

At present, it’s exciting that they put down the first large piece of their new Rocket Blast water slide, and it’s going to be a very exciting addition to their water park. Waldameer opens on May 6th for season pass holders, and May 13th for the public. The water park opens May 27th. (2023/04/07)
