thrill seekers that visit Six Flags Waterworld Sacramento in 2005
will have the opportunity to re-define the term "Shootin' the Curl"
when they dare the extreme new surf simulating waterslide, Honolulu
Halfpipe. The excitement of this uniquely designed, U-shaped slide
begins more than four stories high, providing a panoramic view of
the surrounding Cal Expo grounds. A steep entry onto the nearly
vertical surface provides riders with the thrill of "free falling,"
as they barrel down from the apex of this mammoth wave at
heart-pounding speeds. During the drop, fearless fun-seekers will
experience the force of "zero gravity," zooming back and forth on
more than a thousand-gallons of swirling water as they surf their
way through the 80-foot valley into a calm catch pool below.
Friends and family members can ride Honolulu Halfpipe on single,
double and triple person tubes. "Honolulu Halfpipe will give guests
of all ages another reason to beat the Sacramento heat at Six Flags
Waterworld this summer," said Joe Meck, Six Flags Waterworld
Sacramento vice president and general manager. "With the addition
of Honolulu Halfpipe, our guests will enjoy more than 25 water
attractions and more than a million gallons of water fun this
season." Honolulu Halfpipe joins an impressive list of attractions
at Six Flags Waterworld Sacramento including: Shark Attack, the
tallest, fastest and longest waterslide ride in Northern
California; Hook's Lagoon, a pirate-themed interactive water
playground; Cliffhanger, a side-by-side, six-story speed slide; The
Hurricane, a completely dark tube slide; and Calypso Cooler, a
relaxing lazy river float trip for the whole family. Beginning
today, guests can triple the excitement with the purchase of a 2005
Six Flags season pass at the incredibly low price of $54.99. In
addition to the splash-tastic fun at Six Flags Waterworld
Sacramento, the 2005 Season Pass provides a once-in-a-lifetime
experience at Six Flags Marine World. This season, guests at Six
Flags Marine World can touch and feed amazing marine life at the
