Six Flags Hurricane Harbor

This is my first time here and I’m from Oklahoma and we have our water park too. The size is roughly the same amount but this park has more «thrill» rides.
The one thing my husband and I prefer here rather than our local water park is the fact they have the flash pass. The flash pass is 25 $ per person and gold is 40 $/​person and the premium or platinum is 65 $/​person. So how is works is the flash pass lets you have a wait time for the main rides without you actually being in line so you can enjoy your time in the pool Or grab something to eat. Once your time reaches 0 then you go back to the attraction and scan your flash pass (wristband like) and then you go. You basically get your tube and then head up. The big rides have an additional wait once you get your tube but the wait is only about 10 minutes. The difference between the different levels is the wait time. The regular one you just wait the regular time. The gold wait time is reduced to 50% and the platinum wait is like 90%.
My husband and I didn’t see a benefit to either the top because we didn’t mind so much and the regular you have access to all the other rides as well.
From someone who is out of town, the flash pass is the guarantee we will be able to ride everything today.
Locker is about 13 $ for standard and 18 $ for the large one as well. Don’t consider leaving your belongings… Just get the locker and save yourself the worry and stress.

The park was fun nothing too amazing! Although we are adults now and not kids so maybe that’s why! We went Memorial Day weekend which it wasn’t sunny so the park wasn’t crowded in the morning. We were able to ride almost everything. Then after lunch the sun came out and so did all the people! One thing I did like is that you can leave for lunch…(they stamp your arm) and you don’t have to pay for parking again. Plenty of places to eat near by. Their food prices are out of control! They don’t allow you to bring your own food or snacks. Only a closed water bottle that hasn’t been opened! Anyways I Hope this helps!

This wasn’t what I thought it was. But I made the best of it. The lazy river can be okay for looking at butts if your goggles are solidly constructed (mine fogged WAY too easily). Listen to the voice of the people: Lift the thong ban!!!

I had a blast at Hurricane Harbour this Labor Day weekend. This was my first time to visit. It was not as crowded as I thought it would be. This was a big plus. The lines were not that long, although they got longer after 3pm. We got there right after opening and we were able to go on a lot of rides. The rides were a lot of fun. There were plenty of rides for my child to enjoy, especially the lagoon area. The wave pool is pretty timid, but that’s great for smaller kids and pretty fun. The lazy river was great, but they don’t provide inner tubes like some parks do. But that didn’t ruin it. It was still fun. The thrill rides like the Tornado and Tsunami were awesome. Really I enjoyed every ride I went on. Don’t leave without giving the Surf Rider a try!
The parking price was steep … $ 20 and 30 for preferred? Be prepared to fork it over or just have someone drop you off. The food and drinks are $$ but not unexpected. We paid $ 40 for a pizza deal to feed 4. So that was not a bad deal. I had no problem finding a locker either.
No, you cannot bring food and water in. There were people getting very bent out of shape over it at the entrance. There were signs warning you about this. Don’t let this ruin your experience. I did not find the bathrooms to be filthy. No problems there.
We had a lot of fun this weekend and would definitely return.

I must put a big disclaimer here, I have a huge nostalgia factor at play in my review here. You have been warned.
Way back in 1996 when I was 16, I went to Hurricane Harbor (Wet N Wild) no less than three times a week. It was a simpler time. You had to memorize phone numbers. We were still hopeful for the Star Wars Prequels. People hadn’t turned on Smash Mouth yet.
And there was me, too shy to talk to girls but with more than enough bravery to act like a total shithead at the water park. Nothing destructive, but if you named a rule for a water slide I tried to break it. Standing up on slides. Trading spots on the Black Hole (my favorite). Sneaking into the kiddie park area (that one sounds creepy in hindsight). Just some good old fashioned nonsense that probably (definitely) made the poor lifeguards crazy. And I loved it. LOVED it.
So last year my best friend growing up invited me to come back out with him. For nostalgia’s sake of course. You know what? We had a freaking blast. I was better behaved (slightly at least), but the slides I remembered are still really fun and some of the new ones are good too.
I’ll put some caveats here though, because amusement parks can give some drastically varied experiences based on a few simple things:
First, it can be really expensive to go. My friend has a season pass which includes free parking, which is huge because parking is ridiculous. Also, he could get me in for $ 15. Season passes are the way to go, but even those can vary greatly in price depending on when you get it. And just forget about food, it’s obscenely expensive.
Secondly, it can get really crowded. If you go in September on one of the last weekends, it’s basically empty. But during the hot summer, it’s pretty darn crowded. No surprise there, but worth noting.
Lastly (prepare for some old man talk here), in my day you could leave a bag out at a table with your stuff and no one would mess with it. We’d put our wallet in our shoe or something ridiculous that didn’t fool anyone, but I didn’t worry. I just don’t feel comfortable with that anymore. That’s probably more to do with the fact that I have more money now than I did when I was 16 (barely), but I’d hate for someone to steal my wallet. My medical card is in there! They have lockers that are a must, but they’re more expensive than I’d like.
If the above didn’t scare you away, then you could have a great time. Especially if you like water parks. If you don’t like water parks, then you’ve wasted your time even reading this. What’s up with that?
As far as my favorite slide (because I know you’re curious) it’s way underrated, but I am and always have been a sucker for the Shotgun Falls. I’ve always tried to convert my dismount from the slide into a dive but have never figured it out. It’s my Moby Dick.

OK. I understand the no outside food rule, but you cant bring in a bottle of water? In 103 temp and I have to pay for me and my children to stay hydrated? Thats just a cheap and ridiculous of the park to enforce such an extreme policy. I have no problem buying food, toys, and souvineers but I shouldn’t have to pay for a brand of water I don’t even like or drink tap water that I assume is free (but probably not).
The rides, I have season passes (the SFOT Gold Pass) and we’ve never rode anything at Hurricane Harbor. They do a horrible job with crowd control. The lines are waaaayyy too long with no shade or no effort to make the wait comfortable or entertaining. People show up early, throw their stuff on several chairs or loungers and don’t come back for hours; no enforcement of courtesy or safety, bathrooms are disgusting, no entertainment. My kids and I do enjoy the Hook’s Lagoon area and the wave pool.
I really wish management would read these reviews and make some changes. Other water parks in the area are able to do a much better job with a much lower cost of admission.

I guess i just expected too much, I love the Six Flags park here, and figured since the waterpark was owned by them, it would be just as great, but sadly, it wasn’t. The rides were pretty fun, but we were waiting in 1 – 2 hour lines for a ride that lasted 30 seconds. The park was just severely crowded and quite overpriced. 20 dollars to park??? Ridiculous.

Just want to warn everyone that all of our stuff was stolen and the security guard stood and watched. He did and said nothing while he was watching the area. It was disappointing after a fun filled family day to end with everything being stolen. No cameras either. Every table in the that area with the security guard had something stolen. Get a locker and do not believe them when they say the area is being watched.

2 of the thrill rides were closed today. The service at the cabanas is slow. Plenty to do but probably won’t come back.

I remember going to Wet N Wild and Hurricane Harbor years ago when i was a child. It was an epic adventure of good times, water logged children and happy little sun burns.
Now, it’s a sad sardine can filled with spoiled little terrors wrapped in a blanket of sadness.
I am sure my view is skewed by age but when three of the four best rides have been removed or changed in such a way that they are no longer fun… it really defeats the purpose and ability for fun.
The water is salty, it’s not a salt water system.
The wave pool has been reduced in size and only runs for a few minutes at a time and then they make everyone get out and wait.
Two awesome rides were removed because people were getting bruised.
Everything is overpriced and underwhelming.

Had a great time with my 8 year old he could ride everything and he really enjoyed himself. He loved the Tiki area the most! I’d recommend it and we will return. Go early if you want a shady spot to post up on!

Dirty. Old. Rundown. TERRIBLE service. Terrible organization to get in the park. Unorganized concessions. Did I mention dirty? Won’t be back. The water park at Fiesta Texas is better even though it’s smaller. And it’s much cleaner and better organized.

I spent the whole day here yesterday and I’m sick to my stomach today. My muscles are super shaky and I woke up puking the life out of my body. I’m bed ridden today. Needless to say the water is FUCKING DISGUSTING. One star for the rides (which are all essentially the same) and one star for their god awful water. That’s all I’m going to say the decision is up to you.

We went here for the first time this summer, we’d been about 2 years ago and really didn’t think it was the best experience with a 3 year old. Now she’s 5 and a much better experience since she can ride most all rides. We really enjoyed the pirate area for kids and the rides. Definitely pricey if you are not a season pass holder so that’s probably something to look into even if you just plan 1 visit to both six flags and hurricane harbor.

We didn’t have high hopes for the park as I hate crowds, but wanted to give it a try anyway.
OK, so once you arrive, you have to pay for parking. Guess how much? $ 15 for the most basic parking, and it only goes up from there.
After paying, they send you into the parking lot. There are few if any attendants, so you are on your own. You know how in most big amusement parks they have staff everywhere in the parking lot, and they point you exactly to the spot for YOUR car? Not here. Good luck finding a spot. When we left the park people were parking all over an adjacent grass hill, so I think they don’t even care if more cars come in than capacity.
Lines to enter were short. It took only ~5 mins to buy a ticket. So that was good.
Once you’re inside, you have to find a locker. The ones next to the entrance are all taken, of course, so you have to go looking around and we ended up having to ask guest services where more lockers were inside the park. Eventually we found some — guess how much? $ 13 for a basic locker, and they were all sold out. We paid $ 15 for a «large» that wouldn’t hold more than 2 people’s stuff.
Now we could get on with the fun. Or so we thought… we were there from 11:30 until 3:30 and we rode in all of 5 rides. All the time between is spent waiting… waiting… and waiting some more in lines.
The last ride we took was the highest slide, the Stuka, because we figured it would be too scary for most people. Well, the line was indeed shorter than others. But the pace at which it moved… it took us 1 hour to move 60 yards. Why??? Well, we had plenty of time to observe waiting in line. It turns out that although they have 3 slides next to each other, they only let 1 person go at a time. «A time» is defined as ~3 minutes… so every 3 minutes the line moves about 1 – 2 yards. It takes FOREVER to up to the ride.
15 years ago in Wet n Wild in Florida we rode the same slides and the line moved 10x as quick. Maybe the fear of lawsuits have changed things since then, but we had no fun at all just waiting in line.
Oh, you want some food? Sure — that will be $ 9 for a hot dog and $ 4 for a bottle of water. You can’t bring your own food, of course.
Oh, the wave pool? They turn it on for 10 minutes, and then they make everyone leave the water for a «mandatory 15 minute break.» Seriously? Gotta love the nanny state regulation.
Many of the guests were just trashy too. Smoking where it isn’t allowed, throwing their food leftovers into the grass.
Save your money and buy a ticket to the Caribbean instead.

Second time there, went on a Monday thinking it would be less crowded but it was packed. $ 15 parking, $ 15 locker fee, no outside food or drinks allowed. The lazy river was booooring, tube rental was another $ 10 per tube so we walked the river.lame. it was jammed with people so barely any space to move. rode one ride, the wolf pack and it was fun but not worth the hour long wait. Food is way overpriced, got chili cheese fries for around $ 10, they were good. We spent most of the time there just floating around in the shallow pools… would rather be in the water than standing in line. Not worth the costs, will not be making a 3^rd visit. The water was very dirty. The parking lot needs work too. Lots of potholes, for $ 15 a vehicle looks like they could make some improvements.

It was our first time here. We really enjoyed it. We didn’t realize it was bring a friend for free day, so I guess it may have been busier than normal. nonetheless, the lines were not that long. we didn’t wait more than 20 minutes for any of the rides. we got a locker for $ 13. the food is a bit over priced, but I guess that’s what you expect at a place like this. overall we had a great day. this place is not that huge. we were there 1 – 7 and had plenty of fun. should have left before close, took us a long time to get out of the parking lot. also didn’t realize you can bring your own floats. next time I will be bringing some for the lazy river. overall, I was impressed and the kids had a great time.

This Hurricane Harbor is one of the smaller water parks I’ve been to, but it isn’t too bad. I planned on spending an entire day here, but my brother and I were able to do the entire park in a couple hours on a cloudy Saturday morning in late May.
My favorite ride was the Dive Bomber, which is the 72-​foot drop with the trapdoor. Unlike the trapdoor ride at Water Country USA (Vanish Point), this one is angled, so you won’t have water shooting up your nose. I thought it was a nice variation and it didn’t sting my back!
My other favorites were the Tornado, Tsunami Surge, and the Typhoon Twister. Those are all max-​thrill tube-​based ProSlide rides opened relatively recently (2004 – 2013). The Tornado is the flagship with a 4-​person tube.
Large and Jumbo lockers are available to purchase. If you have two backpacks, you should be able to fine with the Large locker. I liked that the lockers were opened with a PIN, rather than a key that you have to carry around. Just make sure you remember your locker number/​location!
The showers had no amenities, so make sure to bring your own towel, soap and shampoo.
We didn’t try any of the food, but it didn’t seem like there was much beyond ice cream, hot dogs, burgers, pizza, and fries.
If you’re planning on doing the park on a sunny weekend, you’ll definitely want to invest in the Flash Pass. Long waits could kill your experience at a water park this small.

This park is good for the area, but there’s definitely better water parks in nearby cities. The food was horrible, possibly the worst at any park I’ve been too. The only good food was desserts including snow cones and funnel cake. The rides were fun! We went during the week so it wasn’t too crowded. The biggest problem was carrying tubes up huge many flights of stairs to ride the ride. I went with my friend, and we are not that strong so it was very troubling. The Wahoo Racers was definitely my favorite, we rode it again and again, because there was no line. It was great! The park isn’t too clean, which was disappointing. The water in the lazy river had trash in it. Walking around and standing in line isn’t good when it’s hot because the ground gets so hot. It hurt my feet so much because of the heat! Overall, it’s a park full of pros and cons, but you should visit if you’re in the area!

This water park was very cute, because it was small but enjoyable. Compared to the Hurricane Habours in MD and NJ this one is very small but has all the good stuff but get the flash pass line can be crazy but I still had a lot of fun.
The water and the park was clean i will go again if im in the area.
Always please note that the ‘Lazy River” is not so lazy… lol…I was wondering why no one floaties in the water it because the flow of te water is so strong that it is literary pushing ou… very fun and enjoyable surprise!!!

Esta llenisimo. Hay q ir hasta el restaurante xa rellenar las bebidas, los baños estan super sucios y el agua de los juegos huele horrible!!! Deberia haber gente revisando higiene y no poner anuncios tan desagradables como «si tienes diarrea no te metas a este. Creo q debieran mejorar mucho el servicio e higiene del lugar!!!
