April 13, 201214 yr http://www.visitkingsisland.com/things-to-do/soak-city-waterpark What do you think of the names? Good, bad, meh? I'm just happy they didn't go with "Tube Slide", "Body Slide", and the like.
April 13, 201214 yr wow, i really like the names! except for zoom flume, the rest had kind of a tropical theme to them, and then that one...
April 13, 201214 yr ... and the new entrance is aptly named "New Entrance." Is there a "New Exit" as well? I picture that on the other side of "New Entrance" for some reason...but I could be wrong on that.
April 13, 201214 yr Wow these names are great! My personal favorites are Mondo Monsoon, Aruba Tuba, and Breakers Bay.
April 13, 201214 yr Whether you call it Mondo Monsoon or Tasmanian Typhoon, to me it will always be the giant toilet bowl.
April 13, 201214 yr Author Not crazy about "Zoom Flume". I think "Snowy River Rampage" was better. Agreed. I started to say that they didn't have to change that one, but then I realized that Snowy River is a major river in Australia.
April 13, 201214 yr Whenever I think of Zoom Flume, I think of the now defunct water slide that used to reside at Coney Island. It was replaced by the Twister in 2009. The Zoom Flume opened at Coney in 1977. They are also all about the alliteration too! Rendezvous Run, Tropical Twister, etc.
April 13, 201214 yr I'm really confused...can someone tell me all the names now and what they were with Boomerang Bay? Castaway Cove and Lookout Lagoon seem like the same thing...
April 13, 201214 yr Wow. Looks like they pulled out the alliteration and rhyming dictionary for this task.....
April 13, 201214 yr About Zoom Flume...I recall previous name wasn't very consistant. I destinctively remember the map referring to it as Snowy River Rampage, while the pre-ride audio referred to it as White Water Rampage.
April 13, 201214 yr I think "Dragster H2O" takes the cake for all time worst name. How in the world was that chosen by CP as a "top 3" and then how did it win in a landslide by a public vote?!
April 13, 201214 yr Im glad they kept Pipepline Paridise, but i will still call them by Boomerang Bay names
April 13, 201214 yr Aruba Tuba wins for me. Will they have new voiceovers in Australian accents for all the slides too? Haven't been to the waterpark in years, but that part stood out to me.
April 14, 201214 yr Aruba Tuba...hahaha Oh that is a good one, and makes me kind of happy when I say it...
April 14, 201214 yr Aruba Tuba wins for me. Will they have new voiceovers in Australian accents for all the slides too? Haven't been to the waterpark in years, but that part stood out to me. Probably a beach bum.

April 14, 201214 yr Author 2. Castaway Cove- Koala Splash [...] 15. Aruba Tuba- may be a new attraction for 2012 , unconclusive A little digging on the Internet Archive revealed that Castaway Cove is actually Wallaby Wharf, and Aruba Tuba is Koala Splash.
April 14, 201214 yr The names are good, just am still not liking Soak City name. But the waterpark is getting bigger, Do you think KI will ever get a true water coaster with all of this hoopla?
April 14, 201214 yr The names are good, just am still not liking Soak City name. But the waterpark is getting bigger, Do you think KI will ever get a true water coaster with all of this hoopla? I think somewhere down the road such as the next 2-3 years they might decide to get a water coaster and hopefully with a storyline behind it... (which Cedar Fair has proven to not be very good at) They can call their new water coaster, Tears Of The Beast
