Waldameer Amusement Park Building Large Water Coaster for 2023

© Waldameer

Waldameer Amusement Park and Water World water park is having what they describe as the "best year" they've ever had, thanks to a lot of sunshine and pent up demand for their tradition park offerings. To celebrate, the park is moving forward with plans for a large water roller coaster addition to Water World, set to open in 2023.

A drawing of the new water roller coaster, which doesn't have a final name or final colors just yet, can be seen up top. The park announced their plans in a news story today that goes over how the park has been doing this year - which is pretty great. After a rough 2020, like at all parks, 2021 was better but suffered from extreme lack of staffing, now 2022 has returned mostly to normal and the crowds have returned in full force.

That gives the park the confidence to build the water roller coaster, which is costing them between $7 and $8 million. The above schematic, also from the park, shows that the coaster will be going over and under several existing water park slides and attractions. The article states that the slide will be around 50 feet tall and stretch 450 feet in length. The attraction will feature several "saucer" turn elements that ProSlide are now famous for, and a couple upward and downward dips.

The park is planning to start work on the new slide as soon as the park closes for the season, and are anxious to see it open in 2023!
