Great Escape 2019- Hurricane Harbor & More

Looks like Splashwater Kingdom is growing up and turning into Hurricane Harbor for next year! From the site:

The Great Escape is going bigger, better, and wetter with a complete outdoor waterpark transformation into Hurricane Harbor! This expansion features two brand new rides and attractions, newly themed renovations and a waterpark experience that will immerse guests in a true tropical paradise. With non-stop soaking wet thrills, the all-new Hurricane Harbor will be the perfect place to escape the summer heat.

Hurricane Harbor
Our outdoor waterpark is getting a complete transformation into a tropical paradise, nestled right in the heart of the Adirondacks, along with a huge expansion.

Bucket Blasters
Bucket Blasters is an interactive ride where riders will spin around in water barrels equipped with water guns perfect for a splashing battle with friends, family and bystanders

Shipwreck Cove
Shipwreck Cove is a fun activity pool with interactive water sprays, geysers, and fountains for hours of water play entertainment.

Relaxation Station
Alongside our new attractions, we're adding plenty of shaded seating, making Hurricane Harbor the best place to escape the summer heat.

New Dining Location
We're even adding a new dining location with an exciting new menu, full of amazing tropical treats

If that ends up being the case that pretty bad. 3 dry rides out for a small water park expansion that only adds one notable addition.

To be honest they could likely fit all of this in the area where Pirate ship used to be and maybe even the go carts. I wouldn't be surprised if the new eatery was just the one by comet with a fence around it.

I think this is something good for them but don;t really think they needed the name change.

Not sure I really like the Hurricane Harbor name, if it means the entire water park is getting a face lift I'll take it tho.

I wonder if Black Cobra will be removed for this expansion? It’s rarely open and showing it’s age.

Well hopefully now they’ll actually open more than half their slides with this expansion?

Black cobra and that kingdom slide complex next to it are literally never open when I go which is frustrating cause they’re the best slides in the park.

I have issues with things open on the dry side, but I usually have good luck with the water park. Last time everything was open except Banshee Plunge (a shame since that's one of their best slides).

These AquaTwists are fun, but they're way too soaking for my tastes on the ride side. I really like how it's going to the water park.

Probably the smaller one given the last one they built was the small one at SFOG.

I hope they don’t retheme the lower half of the water park. I think the woods/mountain theme for their water park is much better than a typical hurricane harbor.

I'm betting on the latter but I hope I am wrong.
