What’s your favorite thing about summer? Lightening bugs flittering in the evening sky? Leisurely days by the beach or chilling in the a/c? Or, perhaps you love the thrills and chills that come along with a summer’s day trip to your local water park? If you’ve never zipped down the tallest waterslide in Pennsylvania, you’ll probably want to add it to your must do list this summer.
Dorney Park and Wildwater Kingdom, in Allentown, lay claim to one of the tallest waterslides in the United States – and, at one time, in the entire world.
While the 70-foot tall Aquablast may no longer hold the title of the world’s longest elevated waterslide, it certainly promises fast-paced thrills as you zip down 700 feet.
All riders must measure a minimum of 46 inches tall to ride, and you’ll have to sit in the raft as instructed (to ensure your safety and a good time for all).
Aquablast, the “highest elevated family raft ride ever made,” is just the beginning of the fun at Wildwater Kingdom. Don’t forget to check out the other water attractions, including Aqua Racer, Patriots Plunge, and the Wave Pool.
