Hurricane Harbor Splashtown

This is a large 53-acre waterpark located north of downtown Houston. Hurricane Harbor Splashtown (formerly Wet'n'Wild SplashTown and SplashTown Houston) is now operated by Six Flags under a management agreement.

Here you'll find more than two-dozen water slides, pools, and attractions, including a half-million-gallon wave pool, lazy river, and water play areas for children.

Thrillrides at Hurricane Harbor Splashtown include to the Big Spin, open and enclosed bowl body slides, Bonzai Pipelines, a seven-story tall, 333-foot long looping, speed-slide that begins in a trap-door launch into a free-fall descent, a double FlowRider continuous wave surf ride, and Paradise Plunge, two side-by-side body slides with a near vertical five-story drop.

RipQurl is a tube slide that begins with an enclosed flume that winds into a giant bowl and Stingray Racer, the longest, largest and only 6-lane Octopus Racer mat slide in Texas.

Another popular ride at the waterpark is the Tornado, a tube ride that begins from a 75-foot high platform. From there you and up-to three friends descend a 132-foot enclosed flume before dropping into a giant, open-ended funnel that's lying on its side, filled with 5,000 gallons of water.

Families can ride together on Big Kahuna a multi-rider raft ride.

The waterpark also has an activity pool, three-story interactive Tree House with a 1,000 gallon tipping water bucket, climbing net ladders and slides. When it's time to relax Hurricane Harbor Splashtown has a relaxing lazy river you can float, plenty of areas to lounge around, and a half-million-gallon wave pool to cool you off.

For toddlers and younger guests, the waterpark offers kid-friendly versions of the park's larger attractions in an area limited to those under 50-inches and their accompanying parents.

Additional amenities include cabanas with wait service, a variety of food and beverage options, locker rentals, and a gift shop.
