Mayflower

Family Ride Wild Thanksgiving

This classic family ride will swing riders on an arc reaching 54 feet over a pool of water. It’s not exactly the Atlantic Ocean, but that pop of airtime will give a hint of what the Pilgrims experienced on their heroic voyage long ago.

42” Guest must be at least 42” to ride with a companion
48” Guest must be at least 48” to ride alone

Tips for your visit

Wait till the afternoon to ride, as lines are shortest then.

Save one last ride for after dark – Mayflower has an awesome light package!

Don’t forget to leave any loose items you wish to keep – especially cell phones and keys – off of the ride so the seas don’t toss them overboard.
