The park is known for its high-speed waterslide called the Skyscreamer, which is often mistaken as the park's tallest slide at 78 ft. The highest slide in the park is the Twister, which is 83 feet high.
The Slides
With the exception of the Sun Runner and Raging Rapids, all of the slides are located behind the \"beach\" of the Blue Thunder pool in an inter-twining web of staircases and chutes. Riders access the slides by climbing up a large set of stairs to a platform, where several smaller staircases, all of which lead up to one individual slide, begin.

Other Attractions
The waterpark also has two hot tubs, one double and one single.
The Waterpark is also the host to two bars: Pina Colada and Beachview Bar, which sell alcoholic beverages. There is also Coconut Grove, which sells different kinds of food such as hamburgers, hot dogs, and mozza sticks.
Blue Thunder Wavepool
This wavepool that has 5 wave panels with 500 horsepower generating waves (in 5 to 10 minute sessions) of approximately 5-6 feet. It arguably the most popular attraction in the park, as many swimmers (most with yellow innertubes) can be found bobbing in the water. The start of every session is marked with a loud airhorn blast, warning swimmers to be ready should a wave flip them over.
Staff
The lifeguards at the World Waterpark are highly renowned as highly trained due to the large number of patrons that sometimes need to be watched at any given time. The process to become a lifeguard at the World Waterpark is very competitive consisting of physical and mental challenges.
Approximately twice a year, the waterpark holds lifeguard competitions for a chance to move up into the lifeguard team given the fact that the individuals trying out are completely certified to become a lifeguard, including NLS (National Lifesaving Service), AEC (Aquatic Emergency Care), Bronze Cross, CPR-C and Oxygen Administration awards. Usually at a competition, over 20 candidates tryout, but only 4-5 are taken given the number of current lifeguards already employed.
