Feeling The Heat? Six Flags Beckons You To New Splash Park

Jackson, NJ -- If you feel like you're melting the last few days, the staff at Six Flags Hurricane Harbor beckons you to come to the islands.

Or a reasonable facsimile -- sans saltwater.

Six Flags Hurricane Harbor unveiled Caribbean Cove, its new water playground geared toward younger children that features tons of activities, on Thursday.

The Caribbean theme, complete with palm trees, vibrant colors and an oversized parrot, aims to take you away -- at least for a little while.

"Caribbean Cove is a fantastic complement to our world-class lineup of innovative and extreme water slides. It offers fun for junior thrill seekers and their families,” Six Flags Great Adventure President John Fitzgerald said.

The key features of Caribbean Cove's family water playground include:

• An interactive, colorful and multi-level water play center
• More than 55 interactive features including spray nozzles, jets, water guns, climbing nets and two action slides
• Giant tipping bucket towering nearly two stories in the air
• Beach-entry wading pool
• Giant white sand beach area with 300 new lounge chairs and new shade structures

Caribbean Cove is located between the Taak It Eez Ee Creek lazy river and Big Wave Racer slide complex.

The 45-acre Hurricane Harbor water park also features a million-gallon wave pool, a half-mile lazy river, more than 25 high-speed thrill slides and another massive children’s water playground, said Kristin Siebeneicher, spokeswoman for the park.
