IOWA

Continued from page 1

They found out, yes, the

young loved it, but so did the

older generation. Fisher said

they had guests go to Koko-

mo Kove, which is what they

named that area, ranging in

age from ve years to 85.

With that experience in

mind, Adventureland ofcials

took another leap of faith with

water. The park installed Her-

on Harbor for the 2009 season.

It was geared toward the very

young with a pool that gently

slopes toward the center lled

with hoops, sprays and a huge

plastic heron that squirts out

water.

Again, response was

great.

“So, we decided at the

end of last season to go ahead

and put in a full-blown wa-

terpark,” Fisher said. “We got

with ProSlide (Technology

Inc., headquartered in Ottawa,

Ont.) and expanded beyond

Kokomo Kove and Heron

Harbor.”

After about $6 million

and weeks of planning and

construction, in mid-July just

about all of the water elements

were up and running.

And, still, guests didn’t

seem to mind getting wet and

then getting dry again.

The new waterpark, which

is called Adventure Bay, in-

cludes (all from ProSlide):

•Mach 4 that Adventure-

land renamed the Bermuda

Quadrangle and which in-

cludes four innertube slides

– the Topsy-Turvy, BulletBowl

and two Pipelines;

•Tantrum, a four-person

tube slide the park renamed

the Typhoon;

•Two high-speed slides,

ProSlide’s Plummets, called

Gang Plank and Pirates

Plunge; and

•A six-lane ProRacer mat

slide.

The park also includes a

6,000-sq.-ft. pool called the Pi-

rates Port Pool, the Sand Bar

that includes a sandy beach

equipped with cabanas, and

“the longest lazy river I have

ever seen,” said Fisher.

“It has to be a quarter of

a mile long,” Fisher said. “It

is the longest lazy river in the

state of Iowa.”

The Pirates Port Pool is

three feet deep and has a bar

at one end.

“The waterpark is roughly

four times the size it was last

year,” Fisher said.

Adventure Bay just adds

to the fun, Fisher said. Adven-

tureland Park has 34 rides and

attractions, including three

roller coasters.

Admission price includes

both the dry park and the wet

park. Prices were increased

this year by $4, making admis-

sion for those 10 years of age

and older $35.

“Which we think is a great

deal,” he said. “People have

access to both parks for that.

We know the water attractions

have increased the stay-time

in the park and we think it

will also increase our season

pass sales because there will

be more here.”

Park ofcials also feel the

waterpark will increase atten-

dance. The park markets to the

entire state of Iowa and two

counties deep into surround-

ing states.

“We don’t expect to in-

crease our marketing area, but

we feel there is a whole wa-

terpark market out there that

we can market that we didn’t

have before,” Fisher said.

The above overview of Adventureland's new Adventure Bay shows the layout of the waterpark including the quarter-

mile long lazy river. Park officials boost that lazy river is the largest lazy river in the State of Iowa. It encircles the sandy

beach area and the new 6,000-sq.-ft. pool.

Adventure Bay's Pirate's Port Pool includes a bar at one

end. The 6,000-sq.-ft. pool is only three feet deep, great

for rest and relaxation. The area called Sandy Bar offers a

sandy beach and individual cabanas for guests.

Slides at the new Adventure Bay include (all from Proslide)

the Mach 4, which includes four innertube slides; Tantrum,

a four-person tube slide; two Plummets, both racing

slides; and the ProRacer, shown above. The ProRacer is a

six-lane mat ride.
