THE RIDE

Fast, Family‑Focused Runs

The attraction centers on multiple tubing runs designed for families and individuals, delivering short bursts of downhill thrill suitable for a wide range of ages.

THE LIFT

Magic Carpet to the Top

A magic carpet lift takes tubers back to the top of the lanes, reducing downtime between runs and keeping the focus on more laps and family fun.

THE VIEW

Solarium with Fireplace for Viewing

A dedicated solarium with a fireplace provides a cozy viewing area for companions who prefer to watch rather than ride.

What the Afternoon Feels Like
