Not Quite Splash Season… Yet 🥶

Flash Flood Water Park was set to open tomorrow (Saturday, May 23), but with a high of just 60°, it’s a little too chilly for a safe and comfortable opening day.

Our minimum operating temperature is 65°, so we’re holding off one more day.

The good news? ☀️
Sunday is looking much warmer, and we’re excited to welcome everyone back.

🐥 After testing conditions, Inspector Duckworth III has issued an official ruling: “Nope. Too chilly.”

See you at noon on Sunday when we open! 💦 https://alrt.se/u/e8zzu6sjx0g
