Magic Waters Debuting New Slide and New Name in 2020
Magic Waters, a Six Flags Waterpark, will be rebranded Six Flags Hurricane Harbor Rockford when it opens for the 2020 season. To celebrate, the park will debut the Midwest’s first tailspin waterslide, Tidal Wave. This cutting-edge attraction will send riders rushing through three high-speed turns in a two-person inner tube. The park will also receive major upgrades and extensive tropical theming throughout the 30-acre property.

For the first time at any Six Flags park, Tidal Wave, along with Tsunami Surge at sister park Six Flags Great America and Hurricane Harbor in Gurnee, Ill. will feature new, AquaLucent visual effects that create mind-blowing bursts of colors and dreamlike patterns, intensifying the ride experience.
Tidal Wave highlights include:
- The Midwest’s first and only tailspin waterslide;
- A 43 ft. swirling, spinning descent
- Three whirling high-speed turns
- Vibrant AquaLucent visual effects
Tidal Wave will be the waterpark’s 12th waterslide and is scheduled to debut during the 2020 season.
