Rides and Slides near Tour 18

Flower Mound may feel like the countryside, but that doesn't mean you are hours from the best the big city has to offer in terms of thrills and spills.  From beating the heat of summer with a 65 foot speed water slide, to the tenth tallest rollercoaster  in the world, the DFW area has it all!

Water Parks

Hawaiian Falls -  Roanoke, TX

The closest water park to home. Home to The Flyin' Hawaiian, Hawaiian Halfpipe, Pipeline Plunge, The Rainforest River Adventure (lazy river) and Mega Waterworld - the world's largest aqua play structure;  Hawaiian Falls, Roanoke, is the place to be this summer.  The park hosts special events, concerts, homeschool days and offers great deals on season passes and cabana rentals.  There's no need to overheat this year!

NRH2O Family Water Park - North Richland Hills, TX

Next closest, NRH2O.  In North Richland Hills, this municipally owned water park  is known throughout the region for its safe, friendly environment and reasonable prices. NRH2O traditionally opens the week before Memorial Day and closes after Labor Day.  The park covers 17 acres, with 22 watersides, the world's largest uphill water coaster, and the "Viper", the first of its kind in the world!

Hurricane Harbor - Six Flags - Arlington TX

"Go Big!  Go Six Flags!"  - the  Six Flags tagline certainly lives up to its name at Hurricane Harbor.  At 47 acres, Six Flags Hurricane Harbor is the largest water park in North Texas with thrill rides such as the Black Hole of Doom and the Dive Bomber - where the floor drops out from under you sending you plummeting down a seven story shute, family rides for the whole gang to ride together and, of course kids rides for the smaller members of your party.  In addition, Hurricane Harbor season passes can be combo'd with Six Flags Over Texas passes for added bang for your buck.

 Great Wolf Lodge - Indoor Water Park  Grapevine, TX

Fancy a waterpark getaway in December?  Hankering for slides without 100 degree heat? Then Great Wolf Lodge in Grapevine is for you.  With 80,000 sqare feet for fun-filled watery enjoyment, all kept at a balmy 84-degrees year round, you really can have it all!  In addition to the Waterpark, the Great Wolf experience wouldn't be complete without staying a night or two in your own tree-house inspired suite, heading down to the lobby for fairy-tale story time or getting an ice cream themed manicure in Scooops Kids Spa.

Theme Parks

Six Flags Over Texas

"Everything is bigger in Texas" certainly applies here! The original roller-coaster theme park is bigger and better than ever.  The tenth tallest roller-coaster in the world The Titan, the newly-rebuilt Texas Giant, the thrilling Superman and Batman "Mr Freeze Reverse Blast" rides are central attractions.  There is a full day, or three, of fun to be had here.  The Park is open year round and hosts many concerts, special events, and, of course, Fright Fest and Holiday in the Park.  Season passes are great value and can be combined with Hurricane Harbor passes for added benefits.

Zero Gravity Thrill Park
