A new 16,000 square feet interactive water play structure is coming to Coney Island in 2016.  It will include a 33 foot tall "Hydro Storm" that will dump more than 1,300 gallons of water at a time, making it the world`s largest Hydro Storm.  It will also include two water slides.  The attraction will be located in the northeast corner of Sunlite Pool, near the main parking entrance to the park.

Great addition in my opinion and something the park can definitely use. Should be a big hit.

That's awesome!!

Wow looks great.

Awesome for Coney.

What a fantastic addition for Coney Island!!!

Should be an awesome addition to Coney Island! Southern Ohio families will have many waterparks to choose from come summer.

Wow! What a great addition!

Too bad we lost the title of World's Largest Circulating Pool.

At least we still have largest in North America

According to Coney Island's website it is still this at least:

• Originally built in 1925, Sunlite Pool is STILL the world's largest flat-surfaced, recirculating swimming pool

Now that's putting a rather fine qualification on it.

It's also the world's largest pool in Hamilton County, Ohio.

Just to put things into comparison locally, the Tidal Wave Bay wave pool at Kings Island holds 650,000 gallons of water.  Sunlite Pool holds about 3.1 million gallons of water.  All the water is fed into Sunlite pool from underground wells.
