Ripley’s Believe It or Not! acquires Hawaiian Falls Waterparks
Ripley’s Believe It or Not! World Entertainment acquired three Hawaiian Falls outdoor water parks in Mansfield, Roanoke, and Waco, Texas.
Hawaiian Falls Waterparks [sic] are island-inspired, from water slides, to wave pools, a splash zone, and a lazy river. “Ripley’s Believe It or Not! World Entertainment has always been committed to creating unforgettable family fun,” said President Jim Pattison, Jr. “Bringing Hawaiian Falls into the Ripley’s family of attractions allows us to expand in one of our favorite states – Texas!”
Each Hawaiian Falls water park has its own highlights
- Mansfield, Texas: This suburb of the Dallas/Fort Worth area is growing fast. The water park there is 13 acres. They recently expanded to include a splash zone called Turtle Bay as well as a space for family gatherings and luaus called Ohana Hall.
- Roanoke, Texas: This water park is nine acres, with a vibrant water play area and slides with family-sized rafts.
- Waco, Texas: This spot is located right in Waco’s entertainment district. It fills 11 acres, and has 10 waterslide experiences. You can also catch waves here and float beneath palm trees.
Hawaiian Falls Waterparks are open on weekends and select dates through Sunday, Sept. 14. You can purchase a season pass for 2026 now. Passes include unlimited visits for the remainder of the 2025 season as well as all of 2026 at all three Texas water parks. For more information, or to purchase tickets click here.
