Back in early August, Worlds of Fun announced the removal of their Diamond Head water slide complex in Oceans of Fun. Diamond Head was the oldest slide structure in the park dating back to 1982.
New for 2020, Worlds of Fun announces a new racing mat water slide, Riptide Raceway!
Riptide Raceway will take guests five stories high before they speed down four side-by-side tunnels atop a soft foam mat. Riders in each lane will race more than 476 486 feet, making if the longest mat racing water slide in the world. Riders will race to be the first to reach the finish line as they make an exhilarating journey down a winding hillside, around a tight 360-degree loop and through a rapid final descent before splashdown.
This family-friendly ride has been designed to follow the natural terrain of the park’s landscape, and is the first thrill attraction added to the water park since 2013 when Oceans of Fun and Worlds of Fun were conjoined.
