Rapids Waterpark - West Palm Beach

[Hockeyman55]

So I just got my first inside scoop from a loosely lipped employee and figured I would share it with the world

Apparently their new additions next year will be 2 Flowrider machines and then the following year a bar :happy:

Why you using a Royal Ship!

1. Because I wish I was on a cruise right now
2. I just Googled to find a decent pick of a Flowrider to show what it was.

I've been to Rapids many times cuz I lived down in that area for most of my life. Super fun park and me and the fam still go there on occasion.

I live 3 miles away from it and haven't been since the mid 90s Granted I haven't lived this close that long, before that about half hour away. It's just too expensive, $40 something a pop and no annual pass options or anything. I'd rather just use my AP and go to Blizzard Beach or Typhoon Lagoon while up in Orlando

I've always wondered what this park was like. But I love $99 Annual pass to Typhoon lagoon and Blizzard Beach

Omg this thread brought back so many memories of this park, West Palm Beach is my hometown, I remember when this park was just the 5 yellow slides, a lazy river, a wave pool, and the set of the blue and magenta slides, this park has really grown.

They have added a lot over the years and actually a decent little waterpark.

Ha that's about the last time I was there also Right after they opened the wave pool.

I grew up at that water park. It was always a field trip spot for my school, but it was overly priced. Glad to see its still booming 15 years later.

I live 10 min away from this place, it's good if ya got nothin better to do but I would prefer W&W or TL.

(Though Black Thunder is still fun.)
