Six Flags Hurricane Harbor
 

History

The park's history is a little hazy. Waterworld USA Concord first opened its doors in 1995. The company that owned it purchased Six Flags and eventually renamed the park Six Flags Waterworld Concord. The water park was sold by the park chain, and its name was changed to Waterworld California. Six Flags repurchased the park in 2017, and it was rebranded and renamed Six Flags Hurricane Harbor Concord in 2018.

Ride and Slide Highlights

Tornado, a funnel ride, is one of Hurricane Harbor Concord's signature and most thrilling attractions. Riders in four-passenger cloverleaf tubes descend an enclosed slide and sore back and forth along the sides of a massive funnel perched on its side.

Break Point Plunge, a two-slide tower where passengers enter launch capsules and drop into enclosed tubes that send them for a loop, is another thrill ride. Cliffhanger has two speed slides that are 70 feet tall. Visitors who are daring enough to take on Honolulu Halfpipe face a slide that sends riders plummeting down four stories into a skateboard-like halfpipe where they race both forwards and backwards.

 

Splashwater Island has over 100 interactive sprayers, nozzles, and other ways to get wet for younger visitors. Small slides, rope ladders, net structures, and a large dump bucket are also part of the water play structure. Caribbean Cove provides fun ways for the park's youngest visitors to get wet.

 

What‘s to Eat?

Pizza, burgers, chicken sandwiches, churros, and ice cream are typical water park fare. Six Flags Hurricane Harbor Concord also has healthier options like veggie burgers, salads, and apple chips. It should be noted that visitors are not permitted to bring their own food or beverages into the park.
