Water Country USA opens this weekend, as does the park’s newest ride. Vanish Point is an “epic” drop slide, according to the park’s website. The slide starts 75 feet in the air and riders choose between two options: to step into a skybox where the floor drops out, or to go horizontal on a 300-foot speed slide that takes the rider straight down on a mat.

Vice President of Marketing for Busch Gardens Europe and Water Country USA Dan DiPiazzo joked at a meeting in early March that Vanish Point “will separate the chickens from the dare devils.”

The park will be open Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. Check out the park’s website for more details or to purchase tickets.
