The new attraction is tropically themed, as seen in the various thematic elements present in the photo above.  The structure has giant fish, gulls, surf boards and even faux palm trees lining the various towers.  The theming matches the new decor that has been added to the park as part of its transformation in to Hurricane Harbor.

“As a world-renowned leader in thrills and innovation, Six Flags has taken this park to the next level with the new Splashwater Island,” said Park President, Don McCoy. “Our guest experience is greatly enhanced by all the new improvements, brightly painted waterslides, and fun, whimsical theming we’ve added all around the park.”

One of the most popular features of Splashwater Island is a giant tipping bucket that is perched on the top of attraction.  Once filled it slowly tips, dumping an immense amount of water onto the ground below, seen in the above publicity photo.  The various levels of Splashwater Island feature more than 100 different interactive water play features, including sprayers, net climbs, spouting geysers, fountains, jets and waterfalls.  Located on various parts of the attraction are a total of nine open air and enclosed water slides, which together offer 600 feet of sliding fun.
