Rocket Blast

Rocket Blast opened in 2023 as the region's only water coaster. The slide had 45,000 riders in its first 22 days of operation. Its tower has 113 stairs. It won the Golden Ticket Award for Best New Water Park Ride of 2023. The ride is a slide featuring several turns and uphill sections, and riders sit in rafts which hold up to four people.

The entrance to the ride's tower (and the scale with which one should test their riding group's weight before riding) can be found in the northern half of Water World, near Bermuda Triangle.
