Six Flags Hurricane Harbor

Description:

• The biggest water park in North Texas is 3 million gallons of water and 50 acres of relief from the Texas sun. The kids will go nuts at such feature attractions as Hook's Lagoon (pirate ships and 12 levels of interactive features), Black Hole (a tentacle-like thrill ride that plunges through dark, wet tubes), and the Bubba Tub (an inner tube ride that begins at the top of a 70-ft. tower). There are a couple of dozen more rides, slides, and pools, including a 1-million-gallon wave pool, to entertain and douse you and your families. Professional lifeguards are on duty.
