This Wave Is Lit


Rising up from the waters below, Tidal Wave is here, and Hurricane Harbor Rockford is about to get lit!


The Midwest’s first and only tailspin waterslide, the Tidal Wave slide is the ultimate adventure of lights and action.


Climb aboard a two-person raft and scream down the 43-foot descent.


Blast through breathtaking drops and ride high up on the curves.


The amazing Aqualucent special effects turn the slide into a rushing rave of scintillating sensory overload.


As you fly through each section of the Tidal Wave slide, the Aqualucent lights become more of a dizzying blur.
