    Water Park Fun

    Hurricane Harbor Arlington unveils sprawling new water playground

    Splash Island at Six Flags Hurricane Harbor Arlington features tons of new family attractions.

    Six Flags Hurricane Harbor Arlington, the largest water park in North Texas, has unveiled a massive new water attraction for summer 2025: Called Splash Island, it's a new water playground with 17 slides and more than 100 interactive water features such as water cannons, water wheels, dumping buckets, and spray hoses.

    According to a release, it'll make its official debut on July 15.

    The ride has a huge footprint, taking up 58,000 square feet, making it officially the largest attraction at Hurricane Harbor — so large that it replaces two previous attractions, Splashwater Beach and Surf Rider.

    Its emphasis is on family, with the following features:

    • a multi-level, 50-foot treehouse play structure
    • 17 water slides with plenty of drops and twists
    • 110 interactive water features
    • huge splash pad
    • gigantic tipping bucket carrying 1,000 gallons of water

    The tipping bucket tips over guests every 6-8 minutes. It’s the first tipping bucket of this size at Hurricane Harbor.

    Six Flags Hurricane Harbor is the water-centric sibling to Six Flags Over Texas, the iconic amusement park in Arlington. Hurricane Harbor is on the north side of I-30, across from Globe Life Field, and features more than 40 rides and attractions like Typhoon Twister and Tsunami Surge.

    Other new stuff
    Also new for the 2025 season is the reimagined Smokehouse on the Water restaurant featuring an all-new menu consisting of brisket and pulled pork and side dishes like house-made macaroni & cheese, chopped salad, and cornbread.

    Other park enhancements include new double-decker family cabanas with beach furniture, updated restrooms, themed murals, and a fresh look throughout the park.

    “Splash Island was designed with our families in mind," says Hurricane Harbor Park Manager Heather Blair in a statement. "It provides tons of fun for kids and parents alike, and a place for everyone to relax in the nearby cabanas while they savor our new food and beverage offerings.”

    Hurricane Harbor Arlington is open daily through August 10, and then on weekends through Labor Day.
