This summer, Allie, Gabe and I had season passes to Hurricane Harbor in conjunction with our passes to Magic Mountain. It was really fun. We went there several times this summer. Sometimes we would go to Hurricane Harbor for a few hours, then go over and ride a few rides at Magic Mountain, then go back to Hurricane Harbor to cool off, or vice versa. It made the day very cool and flexible.
Our favorite areas of Hurricane Harbor was the Endless River and the Wave Pool. Allie and Gabe named all of the exits along the river to improve communication. We spent a lot of time floating around the river. The wave pool was equally exciting. The waves would go off rhythmically every 15 minutes. They enjoyed staying near the wave producer and riding the swells up and down. Sometimes they would go nearer the "shore" and body surf on the waves. It is really fun and refreshing.
We didn't like waiting in line for rides, so we didn't go on them very often, but we did go on nearly every ride at some time. Our favorite was the bonzai slides. They were terrifying and exhilarating. you started the ride standing in a large tube. They closed the hatch, then a voice counted down and the floor dropped out from under me. We dropped straight down the chute. I have to admit, the anticipation of standing in the tube, waiting for the floor to drop out from under you was more stressful than the ride itself. The ride was over very quickly, and before you knew it, you were spewing water out of your nose and mouth and back on solid ground. It was very fun.
