VALDOSTA, Ga. — Wild Adventures Water and Theme Park (WA) opens for the 2010 season on March 6.
“Wild Adventures has a tradition of providing families all the excitement of a big theme park at a family affordable scale. It offers all in one for less — a theme park, water park and animal park rolled into one,” Bob Montgomery, vice president and general manager, said in a news release. “This year, with 20 concerts, and nearly a dozen limited engagement shows, guests will find something new to see and do every month.
“Plus, to help keep guests feeling refreshed, the park has removed more than 350 tons of concrete to make way for more shade trees and a new, interactive water fountain,” Montgomery added.
The new season promises more thrills with three new family rides, officials say.
Guests will twist and turn on Whirling Wildcats, a spinning scrambler that propels thrill seekers of all ages in a circular motion. They will test their fear of heights on Viking Voyage, a five story family roller coaster that takes guests on a 40 mph ride with surprising dips and turns.
Finally, they will find themselves in the driver’s seat on Falcon Flyers, a flying scooter ride, overlooking WA’s famed central lake.
After an extensive renovation, WA’s popular wooden roller coaster, The Cheetah, will also feel like a new ride to park guests, according to park officials. A $1million refurbishment was designed to provide a smoother ride without sacrificing the wild excitement wooden coaster lovers have come to expect.
