Rocket Blast Water Coaster Opens at Waldameer Park

A brand new water roller coaster, aptly named Rocket Blast, has opened at Waldameer Park's water area, Water World. Seen above, the ride is totally interwoven into the existing slides and attractions that Water World offers, making the addition an especially impressive thing. The attraction is said to have cost the park around $7 or $8 million, so this is a very big investment for the family-owned park and water park!

Rocket Blast has also changed colors slightly since it was originally announced, now featuring mostly yellow and blue on the slides, with some pops or orange on the Flying Saucer turns. The water coaster is rather large in size, standing around 67 feet tall and featuring over 830 feet of slide. There are several uphill sections, a large drop in the middle of the ride, the aforementioned Fling Saucer turns and plenty of twisting enclosed trough as well.

Since the ride just opened a week ago there isn't much available yet as far as videos and photos go, but for an look at how the ride is you can check out the below video from Waldameer!
