Six Flags Hurricane Harbor is a Six Flags water park at Six Flags America in Woodmore, Maryland. The park opened in 2005, replacing the former Paradise Island water park.

History[]

Paradise Island was the water park of Wild World. In 1992, Wild World was purchased by Premier Parks, and was renamed Adventure World. In 1994, Tahiti Twister, a new water slide, was added to Paradise Island.

In 1997, Paradise Island introduced three new attractions: Black Hole, an enclosed water slide, Bonzai Pipeline, an open air inner-tube slide, and Crocodile Cal’s Outback Beach House, a multi-platform play structure that featureing 7 slides, 100+ play features, and a giant bucket.

In 2005, Paradise Island was re-branded as Six Flags Hurricane Harbor. This brought many changes, most notably Buccaneer Beach, a children's play area, and Tornado, a 132-foot long ProSlide Tornado slide.

In 2008, Tony Hawk's Halfpipe was introduced, a new water slide named after pro skater Tony Hawk. It was renamed to simply "The Halfpipe" in 2011, removing all Tony Hawk theming.

In 2011, Hurricane Mountain was refurbished to become ZoomAzon Falls, giving it a new Amazonian theme. It featured waterfalls, jungle decorations, and sound effects to further the immersion of being in the rainforest.[1]

In 2013, Bonzai Pipelines was added, a six-slide drop slide complex.

In 2018, Wahoo River was introduced.
