Tampa Metropolitan YMCA

Located right across the street from Busch Gardens® Tampa Bay, Adventure Island® is Tampa Bay’s premier water park, featuring a combination of exhilarating water rides and tropical, tranquil surroundings. Within a soothing Key West atmosphere await slides, such as Calypso Coaster™, Caribbean Corkscrew® and Colossal Curl™, waterfalls, a 17,000-square-foot wave pool, children’s water playground called Fabian’s Funport® and other family attractions. Guests can dig their toes into the sand or relax in lounge chairs or a private cabana.

Rides Include:

Colossal Curl™:     Hurtle high above Adventure Island® Tampa and experience a feeling of weightlessness aboard Colossal Curl™, the park's newest ride. True to its name and holding up to four passengers, this mega slide delivers a high-adrenaline, action-packed adventure, making it the ultimate family thrill slide.

Riptide:                   Florida’s first four-lane mat slide is the newest high-speed thrill ride making a splash at Adventure Island. Riptide allows guests to compete against three other riders for a competitive mat-slide adventure. All four racers are released simultaneously from a height of 55 feet into their own tubes, twisting through a hairpin turn before plunging into four open-air lanes for a drenching finish.

Wahoo Run:           An exhilarating river five-person raft ride sends adventurous guests down 600 feet of drenching twists and drops and back-to-back curves and turns. The thrill slide has a unique tunnel design that alternates sections of daylight and darkness, while four waterfall curtains douse unsuspecting guests during their journey.

Everglides:            A speed slide that sends riders down a 72-foot watery incline into a 20-yard hydroplane.

Splash Attack:        The Park’s most drenching attraction ever, offers more than 50 water elements, including twisting slides, bridges and a 40-foot-high water-tower bucket.

Key West Rapids: Sends riders down six stories through a 700-foot twisting slide and into a splash pool.

Aruba Tuba and Calypso Coaster:   Twisting spirals and swirling water are the main attraction on these competing slides.

Additional Slides: Unpredictable excursions at spine-tingling speeds can be found on the Caribbean Corkscrew, Water Moccasin and five Runaway Rapids slides, coiling their challengers down a series of unexpected twists before dunking them into a splash pool.

Endless Surf:          Body surfers can ride three-foot waves in Endless Surf, the park’s 17,000-square-foot wave pool.

Fabian’s Funport: This water play area offers children a kaleidoscopic wading pool, highlighted by bubbler springs and jumping water jets.

Paradise Lagoon: This lagoon is 9,000 square-feet of water-soaked activities, ranging from jumping platforms and cascading waterfalls to a hand-rope walk along the pool’s perimeter.

Rambling Bayou:   The 1,700-foot tube trek Rambling Bayou glides riders through beautiful landscapes and weather effects including fog and rain.
