Questions About Hurricane Harbor

[pennyroyalest]

Do they make you use lockers to put your stuff in?
If so, how much do they cost?
Are you allowed to carry certain things around with you?
Also, what rides are you allowed to go on without a raft?

[CoasterDave316]

They don't make you put stuff in lockers, but if you just leave it laying on a chair like some people do, there is always the chance it might be stolen.

Lockers are $10, $8 and $6 all day.

You can carry whatever you want with you. But there isn't much that I can think of that you can bring on a waterslide with you.

You can go on everything without a raft. If it's crowded you might have to wait for a raft at the bottom of slides before you get in line. If you want to stay in the lazy river more then one time around you will need to buy a rental tube.

Are the locker prices still the same?

[Johnny.Ink]

No, inside Hurricane Harbor I've only seen 2 locker prices, 15 for the smaller ones, and 18 for the larger ones.

Thanks Johnny. I forgot to ask how much is the tube rentals?

I,m going on Sunday it's going to be 91 degrees I know it will busy.

Going off memory (have an Xtreme pass so I don't pay for tubes this year) - single is $7 and double is $8. Tob be fair - you can ONLY use them on lazy river, they don't allow you to use them on the tube slides anymore.

Oh, and Flashpass in the park is separate from the main park - Silver is $20 per person and Gold is $35.

[scott2608]

Thanks Johnny. This will be my first visit to Hurricane Harbor, going with about 15 friends and I just found out that a few will not be going on the slides so we can leave our stuff with them and avoid the locker cost.

Can you go to your locker throughout the day or is it open once and pay again? Also, anyone have an idea how it might be tomorrow? I've never been to Hurricane Harbor either and I'm two hours out. How does the flash pass work this year?

You can go into your locker as long as Hurricane Harbor is open. There's a computer system, so you just need to remember the locker number, then use your birthday as the password (easiest).

Flash pass is same as the main park EXCEPT reservations are done through kiosks throughout the waterpark, and you wear a bracelet.

Other then that... pretty much the same.

Thanks! Also, how does entry work with the xtreme pass? Is there a special line?

yes. To the right of the Pictorium before the entrance where it has a sign that says Hurricane Harbor Entrance in Southwest territory there is a door that is "hidden" - you will see a cutout and a walkway peeking out from the wooden fence in Riptide bay.

Security will open the door about 5 before opening time for Season pass guests. You just show them the Xtreme pass and you are good to go.

Not a question about Hurricane Harbor, but another complaint that regards Flash Pass yet again. For the Lazy River, there was about a 20 minute line for no reason at all. They had some 20/25 tubes stacked up in a net by it, and the guy has to hand everyone one instead of previous years in which people would just take it from the net thing. I kind of wonder if he knew what he was doing though because he's a newbie with the orange tag. On top of it, he won't even take most of the 20 / 25 tubes stacked up. A lot of the time he is taking the tubes in which the people just got of. Why do they need 25 tubes stacked up for just Flash Pass? It's ridiculous. They should have something like 5 for them set aside on the grassy part. If Flash Pass people come, than "refill" there 5 separate tubes just for them. And if there are more than 5 Flash Pass people at a time (I barely seen any today), than you stop the other line (the regular line), and they take the tube from the people that are just getting off. Instead, they are reducing capacity by a ridiculous amount. There is just NO reason whatsoever why people should be waiting that long when there are that many tubes available in the net.

Besides that, they have an additional probably about 20 tubes that they are aren't even using in which they put them along the lazy river.

Also, in regards to capacity, one of the top 4 slides at the park, they don't even have open. This is the purple and orange slide. The other ones are the bowl slides, Tornado, and the other Family Raft slides (Lime green and Teal). To me, that is the best slide at the park.

Not defending the kid but the orange nametag doesn't mean he's new, it means he is under 18 years of age. Of course he could be new as well, but the nametag color is a age differentiation.

I have noticed that in the waterpark is seems like whomever is in front of you running the flashpass, seems very arbitrary in that it is not a common time, just whenever they want to send more people up. The rides weirdly enough seem fine when they aren't holding anyone one up either, so it shouldn't be a safety issue having people on the stairs

Has anyone used the flashpass at the waterpark yet? I don't see a ton of the kiosks, so not sure if it really helps you go in faster if you have to walk out of your way to use a kiosk, then back to your attraction.

You sure? I'm starting to think they switched it to first year employees. I noticed a lot of employees wearing the orange tag that in no way shape or form could they be under 18. Unless they age horribly.

[DejaVu2001]

Nametag breakdown:
Yellow background = 15 years old
Orange background = 16 or 17 years old
White background = 18+ years old

Black lettering = Team Member
Red lettering = Lead
Blue lettering = Seasonal Supervisor

Silver background with black lettering and full name = Full-Time Supervisor.

I still thing think that person was new because they had the newer swimwear on. In the waterpark, some lifeguards are in red, and some are in blue. I think the newer apparel they are giving is the blue, and thus giving that to newer workers. This is unless there is some other reason.

^Can the yellow people do rides, or they just like game people / front entrance?

[DejaVu2001]

Rides is 16 and up, same with life guards. Yellow tags can do games, merchandise, admissions, maybe some others. The last few seasons I have noticed way less yellow tags, probably because of the economy.

For the waterpark, blue swim suit means supervisor I'm pretty sure.

From what I've seen, the Attendants are in blue, so guys that hand out tubes, assist in corralling crap, are in blue. Lifeguards in red.

Flashpass have the same shirt, and yellow is the Kodak folks for photos.

Is Bahama Mama - the purple / orange "family" raft slide open? The last times I went to the waterpark, it hasn't been open.. At the beginning of the waterpark "season" it was open, but than as I said it hasn't been open the last couple of times.

I was at the water park on Friday and Saturday, and it was open. On Saturday (yesterday) it opened an hour after the water park opened. I guess they were short of life-guards, but it was open yesterday.

[LooneyTunes]

Was at the park today (Sunday June 24) and Bahama Mama - the purple / orange "family" raft slide was open. Rode it and I think it was open when the water park opened. I know I didn't have to wait for the water park to be open for an hour before riding it.
