Generally water parks have a limited range of attractions, but through
the years some have tried to incorporate other experiences into the mix
of offerings, usually as up-charge experiences.

At the start of the 2000's, one of the trends in the theme park industry
was adding several small interactive attractions, generally as an up-charge to offset the labor required
to operate it and its low capacity limit. Six Flags Great
Adventure added Turbo Bungy to the theme park for the 2001 season.
The set of trampolines offered guests a chance to safely bounce and do tricks
including flips and manuevers securely attached to a harness. The attraction was popular and a money maker in the theme park,
so a decision was made to add a set to Hurricane Harbor as well for the
2002 season called X-TREME Trampoline. |

A small sand-covered pad was added
to the right of
Hurricane Harbor's Kukookachoos food stand to house the new attraction which
included a set of four
trampolines and their accompanying frames to operate the harness
mechanisms.
Guests could either pay a nominal fee for a single session or a flat fee
for a "Jump All Day" wristband. On a per minute rate, the all day
option was a huge bargain compared to the single session.
X-TREME Trampoline remained at the park through the end of the 2007
season when the attraction was removed and its site transformed into a
patio with umbrella covered tables to better accommodate the growing
crowds of the nearby food stand and snack carts. |
