Knott's Soak City water park expansion
Details of the Knott’s Soak City water park expansion for 2017 have been announced.

Orange County California’s largest water park will debut two water slide towers next year, as Knott’s Berry Farm has announced details of their Knott’s Soak City Water Park expansion for 2017.

Shore Break, the first new slide structure, will tower over seven stories and offer six different water slide experiences. Four of the slides on the 60-foot tall tower will start with guests climbing inside an Aqua-Launch chamber where they will wait for the floor to drop out from underneath their feet, sending them into a high-speed, almost vertical free fall through a series of flat loops and S-curves in a translucent flume. Shore Break will also feature dueling tube slides that will zip riders through an enchanting series of drops and turns. The height requirements for Shore Break slides are 48 inches.

The Wedge slide tower will take the location of the current Pacific Spin and will be an open air family raft ride. Up to six guests at a time will descend down navigating twists and turns and surprise drops. Height requirement for The Wedge is 48 inches or 40 inches when accompanied by a supervising companion.

Guests will be able to experience both water slide towers when Knott’s Soak City Water Park opens for the summer season in May 2017. The expansion project will also include updated shaded seating areas, cabanas and a remodeled Longboard’s Grill to the water park. Construction is set to begin on September 12 and a grand-reopening is scheduled for summer 2017.

2017 Knott’s Gold Season Passes include one free admission during the 2016 season to Knott’s Berry Farm and Knott’s Soak City Water Park, unlimited visits in 2017 to both parks with no blackout dates, discounts on select food and merchandise, and access to exciting year-round seasonal events. 2017 Season Passes will be available beginning August 26 for a limited time on knotts.com or soakcityoc.com.
