spent a day at Summer Waves Waterpark
on Jekyll Island, Georgia - Monday, May 24, 2010 |
Summer Wave Water Park had more than a million gallons of splashing water fun with 11 acres of water slides, water thrills, and food. Not a real big park, but it was a nice, fun park. |

Below: The Kiddie Pool with
only 12 inches of bubbling water |
Below: The Lazy River on Turtle Creek |
Below: Pirates Passage: Riders can go single or double on a tube in a totally-enclosed speed flume that jets riders in darkness over three breathtaking humps. Then land in the shallow pool at the bottom and discover your bathing suit gave you a wedgie. Karen Duquette did this, but Lee Duquette did not. He has never been a big fan of waterslides. | |
Below: See all the people
going up the stairs carrying the tubes. A great ride, fast, but short
- and lots of stairs to climb while carrying a tube. |
|
Below: Nature's Revenge
no tubes on this slide and not quite so many stairs |

water bucket in the Splash Zone |

Below: Karen Duquette rode down the Force 3 inner tube flume (the fat white slide) as well as on the blue slides. The blue slides are completely in the dark and went very fast. One of the blue slides had one straight drop, the other blue slide curved on the way down. Both were very fast and gave Karen Duquette a big bathing suit wedgie when she hit the shallow water at the bottom. | |
NOTE: You cannot bring food or drink into the park, but they sold soda, water, salads, hot dogs and pretty good subs, etc. Life Jackets were provided free of charge, but not mandatory. Do NOT bring your own tubes. This is a total non-smoking park. |
