Freezing…

While the rest of Alabama was snowed in, the Alabama Adventure staff has been hard at work. We have been working hard on the 2011 Summer Concert Series (announcement on the line up coming soon!), our new ride, BUZZSAW FALLS, and making the 2011 Season better than ever.

Since the snow was coming down and nothing seemed to be melting, our staff came up with some creative ways to turn our water park into an icy winter wonderland…

What if we took Acapulco Drop, iced it down, and made a snow skiing hill out of the steepest drop in the park. Hold on to your boots, you would be in for a thrilling 9 story drop!

Ahh… the Warrior River, so nice and relaxing during the summer, but when the snow and ice hits, it becomes the fastest speed skating rink south of the Mason Dixon Line.

Snowboarding, a favorite pastime of my own and our very own UPSURGE! Now that is one gnarly half pipe. Bring on the snow, let’s get some air!

We got to thinking about Neptune’s Plunge. How on earth could we turn this into an icy adventure? 4 slides iced down for racing check. 4 double tubes for sliding down the ice, check. 8 professional bobsledders (or our not so talented staff pretending to be bobsledders), check. A race to the finish down this icy track, check! Now that is good time.

How about a good old ice hockey game? I am thinking Kahuna Waves is just the place for that, minus the waves. We have Team Operations versus Team Maintenance. It was a close match, but Team Maintenance wins 3-2. (Theoretically speaking, due to their ability to withstand the cold temperatures.)

Then it hit us, time to get back to work. Who wants to play in the cold anyway? We will stick to fun in the sun and making sure all of our Alabama Adventure fans have a summer to remember in 2011. Check back next week for an update on what is to come for 2011!

An Alabama Adventure New Year!

It’s January 2011. Can you believe it? We are only months away from an excited new season at Alabama Adventure. There are so many exciting new attractions popping up all over the park, including BUZZSAW FALLS, the new family water thrill ride.



BUZZSAW FALLS is under construction! The major expansion is sure to keep Guests both cool and thrilled, as riders plunge down a five story, heart pounding chute for a massive splash. Enormous sheets of water will shoot in the air as riders make their final descent splashing into a pool of water soaking both riders and on lookers. Check out these photos to see where the land has been cleared for the newest water thrill ride in the Theme Park.

After you shoot up the 185 foot tower of the Stratosfear Screamer, it will be a short walk to cool off at BUZZSAW FALLS with the whole family. Also, you will be able to access it through a new plaza created next to the Balloon Wheel. Here is a look at the site from a different angle. You can see the Kid’s Rides to the left where the new walk way will be.

As the construction continues on BUZZSAW FALLS, look for new photos and information. Next week learn about the all new character show starring Bob the Builder coming to the Star Theater. Be sure to check out http://www.alabamaadventure.com/ and Facebook for more updates.
