DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Later this month, Daytona Lagoon will cut the ribbon on two new water slides, with one replacing an attraction damaged by Hurricane Irma.

  • Daytona Lagoon opening 2 slides April 26
  • 1 slide replaces a slide damaged during Irma in 2017

The park announced Tuesday that its Shaka Halfpipe and Kraken's Revenge slides will be open in a symbolic "ribbon cutting" celebration on Friday, April 26 at 10 a.m.

Kraken's Revenge replaces Kraken's Quest, which was damaged when the hurricane hit Florida in 2017. The new ride is a four-lane racing slide that rises over 50 feet tall and includes a high-speed "time warp" tunnel. 

The Shaka Halfpipe is a pendulum-style ride with a single or two-person inner tube, which slides up one end and down the other of a 50-foot half pipe. 

 

 The two new slides were part of a nearly $1.5 million renovation, most of which was completed in the off-season.

Daytona Lagoon's water park is already open most days 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Daytona Lagoon is located off A1A, near the Ocean Center.
