Take the whole family if you dare on the slide with a 20 foot drop, fly around curves and make a splash at the end with your 20 foot MEGATube with just enough time to catch your breath before uttering, "Let's do that again!"

Hawaiian Falls
4400 Paige Rd
The Colony, TX 75056
(888) 544-7550
www.hfalls.comHawaiian Falls is a good name to describe a place teeming with slippery slopes and winding rivers. Those who aren't afraid of heights will be lining up to take their turn at one of Hawaiian Falls most coveted adventures, the Waikiki Wipeout. The Waikiki Wipeout begins at a towering 65 feet up in the air. Yet in this case, riders have no tube to protect them. This is a body slide, meaning it is you versus height versus fear, and it is amazing. For those who prefer the sanctity of a tube, there are plenty of other rides and slides at Hawaiian Falls, like the Whirlwind 360, the Torpedo and the Hawaiian Half pipe, as well as a wave pool and rain fortress for families.
