Soaky Mountain Waterpark

Soaky Mountain Waterpark is a 50-acre waterpark that opened in 2020. It features some of the most popular, thrilling, unique, and state-of-the-art water attractions available to enjoy mid-May through August, and weekends in September.

New to the 2025 season, Rafter’s Rage, produced by WhiteWater, will be an incredibly exciting six-person raft ride that starts roughly eight stories in the air and spans 825 feet. Riders will be capable of reaching speeds of up to 19 mph as they whip down the slide. This thrilling drifting experience —a world’s first for a water slide — will extend a rider’s zero-G feeling, making it an incredible attraction.

Highlights of Soaky Mountain Waterpark include The Edge, a first-of-its-kind dueling watercoaster featuring thrilling high-speed slides with a three-story mega drop, AquaLucent rings, and a Boomerang finish; the Avalaunch, another first‐of‐its kind watercoaster with four flying saucer features that create a drop‐and‐dive sensation and one wave curved wall; Soaky Surge, a massive, 35,000 square foot wave pool capable of generating waves 6 feet high; Black Bear Rapids, an adventure river encompassing 24,000 square feet; and The Hive, a bee‐themed play‐and‐spray feature with countless hands‐on activities for younger children.

There is also Boomers Bay, a super fun kid activity pool area with smaller versions of the adult‐size towering slides including Lil’ Rattlers and Mini Mayhem so kids can experience the thrills and chills of the waterpark on their level; Slippery Salamanders an adventure pool with a water obstacle course; Coyote Springs a 3,800 square foot flat‐water cabana pool for relaxing poolside; and Hang 10essee, a double FlowRider.

In addition to the Avalaunch watercoaster, there are other massive slides including two five‐person raft rides (Blue Mountain Mayhem, Rainbow Revenge); a tubing tower with five flumes; two high‐intensity body slides; and a four‐lane, head‐first mat racing challenge to satisfy everyone’s racing desires. Some of the slides feature translucent tubes which create a swirling array of light effects and others are themed in colors like the Rainbow Revenge which features all of the colors of the rainbow and the American Racer’s Rush which features red, white and blue stars and the stripes.

The fun doesn't stop just because the summer is over! If you love the holidays as much as we do, you’ll be happy to know Shadrack’s Christmas Wonderland Drive-Thru Light Show is returning from November 15, 2024, through January 5, 2025.

This immersive holiday adventure will light up your night and fill you with festive cheer. It is truly perfect for families, friends, and anyone looking to make magical memories.

After the light show, visit Snowy Mountain Village (Open November 15 – 17 and November 22 – December 30) located inside Soaky Mountain Waterpark.
