You may remember hearing about this park last year when they added Jungle Splash, a new flume ride, to a park that just is not your normal kind of theme park. You’ve got to see their website to understand, but they’ve got a crazy looing individual stand-up aerial tram ride, waterslides, dinosaurs and more.
