Taking a Look at Alabama Adventure's New Rocket Racer Slide

Granted there's only a little bit left in Alabama Adventure and Splash Adventure's season, but I would be remiss if I never followed up on the park's large new water slide, Rocket Racer. The six lane, rainbow colored mat racing water slide is one of the largest investments the owners have made in Splash Adventure in some time. Standing over 50 feet tall and with each lane stretching more than 400 feet in length, the new slide has quickly become a favorite of park guests.

Rocket Racer opened in the middle of July, just in time for the hottest part of the Alabama summer. Riders have been racing each other toward the finish line ever since.

This neat aerial view of the Rocket Racer shows it's placement within the park. The park cleared out the space that an old log flume occupied and the new waterslide takes up a portion of it. The new slide is pretty far off from the main water park area, but it also comes with some nice new lounge areas you can see built into existing structures adjacent to the slide.

This local news story from back when the slide opened noted that the slide has been positioned in an area that is an "opportunity for growth in the future." There's a lot of open space in that part of the park that can be redeveloped over time, and since the water park is extra popular with guests that only makes sense to me. As always, it's neat to see this little park continue to grow, perhaps we'll see another addition in 2022.
