Description: 

New for 2013!

Actually ... it's just a new name.

Since your favorite shoot-the-chute ride is now part of Splashin' Safari, we are taking away the pilgrims name and changing it to a long, tall safari animal.

After swiftly rising to the top of the 135-foot tower in an open-air elevator, each boat pauses briefly before descending rapidly down the flume at a 45-degree angle, creating a dramatic splashdown.

Tips for your visit

Tips: 
  • The ride up Giraffica may be scarier than the ride down!
  • If you're a "closed-eyes rider," try to peek for a second at the top - the view is incredible!
  • Ladies, wear your water-proof mascara, as this is one wet ride!
  • If you want to cross over to Holiday World after your ride, be sure to have your shoes, shirts and shorts with you.
