This popular
body slide complex was often duplicated by Six Flags in water parks from
coast to coast.

The Falls is Hurricane Harbor's
body slide complex featuring two twisting enclosed tubes along with a
steep open center slide.
The impressive seven story Falls
water slide complex was strategically located alongside the main
entrance way to the Great Adventure property to entice guests to visit
Hurricane Harbor.
The open center slide, Jurahnimo Falls
is a favorite slide for spectators as well as riders as people's courage
is tested looking down the long, steep drop before making the plunge. |

The Falls is the only attraction at Hurricane Harbor to have gone
through a name change, being redubbed Poland Springs Plunge for several
seasons as part of a sponsorship deal. The same Poland Springs Plunge
was also used for the Hydro Flume ride in the theme park at the same.
When the Poland Springs sponsirhsip ended, the ride returned to its
original name, The Falls.
