Our 2025 season cannot be talked about without mentioning our brand-new addition to the park: Water’s Edge. This new land in the park features two brand new rides, Wing Swinger and Boat Parade, as well as the relocated and reimagined Horizon Wheel, providing fantastic views of the park from above! In addition to this, the new Water’s Edge Tacos provides a fiesta of menu items, from Mexican Street Corn to Loaded Nachos. Guests can also stop by the new Lakeside Refreshments for a quick snack or souvenir cup refill.
Did you get your rides in on Wing Swinger or Boat Parade this season?
The 2025 season brought over 1,300 hours for families, animal lovers, thrill-seekers and concertgoers alike to enjoy everything Wild Adventures has to offer. That’s over 20 weeks of memories made!
At Splash Island Water Park, guests were able to experience over 650 hours of splashing down Bonzai Pipelines, chillaxing in Paradise River, and catching waves at Catchawave Bay. The 2025 season definitely made a splash.
Our 2025 Wild Adventures LIVE! Concert Series was a great one, with 13 star-studded acts taking the stage! Guests were able to experience adrenaline-pumping rock, soulful vocals, and even share a laugh or two from Spring to Summer.
We kicked things off in April with Country Rap star Colt Ford, and kept the country going with acts like Willie Nelson & Family, Ashley McBryde, Big & Rich and Gretchen Wilson, and Walker Hayes! We amped up the rock with artists like 38 Special, Skillet, Zach Williams, and Molly Hatchet. Plus, we can’t forget the energy of Christian music star Chris Tomlin, the fantastic vocals from Gospel singer CeCe Winans, the Hip Hop dynamic duo of Doug E. Fresh & Rob Base, and the hilarious comedy of James “Murr” Murray!
Stay tuned for who will take the Wild Adventures LIVE! Stage next... if you’re a 2026 Season Passholder, you have access to General Admission to every concert at no cost.
Our guests surely made sure to get all their rides in for the 2025 season. One ride in particular had the highest ridership with 237,530 total riders for the year.
A drum roll for... Outpost Express!
With a track length of 679.1 feet, that equates to approximately 161,306,622 feet traveled on this family-favorite attraction. For reference, that’s just over 10 times the span of the United States!

The number one selling food item for the 2025 season is... the Chicken Tender meal! We aren't too surprised, who could resist a juicy chicken tender?!
