High Tide Harbor
New this year, High Tide Harbor is a multi-level water play structure, designed for families to explore together. This exciting area features over 100 interactive water elements, including cannons, sprayers, and tipping fountains, ensuring endless fun for kids of all ages.
Nitro Racer: Supercharged
Nitro Racer: Supercharged was revamped in 2025. Feel the rush of competition on Nitro Racer: Supercharged, a classic six-lane bodysurfing slide with an all-new twist. The anticipation begins at the top of the tower with new lights and sounds as six riders assemble at the start line. Then, racing across 320 feet of track, a timed finish will determine each race’s champion before putting the top scores of the day on a leaderboard at the end of the ride. Plus, winners can capture their victory at an all-new Winners Circle photo opportunity. Nitro Racer: Supercharged is one of ten slides at Water Country USA, complimenting relaxing areas to unwind, including Hubba Hubba Highway, Rock ‘n’ Roll Island, plus kid-friendly spaces like Lil’ Surfers Splash Pad and H20 UFO.
Catalina Grille
Additional enhancements include Catalina Grille, Water Country USA’s signature restaurant. Located at the front of the park near Colossal Curl, Catalina Grille is the perfect place to relax and recharge. The newly renovated restaurant is now complete with digital menu boards, a revamped queue experience, mobile ordering and rotating menu items.
