Water Rides at Mesa Sunsplash

Drop four stories into an open bowl, then see how many revolutions you can make; each ride on the Cauldron is a different experience. The Master Blaster is a watery roller coaster. The Sidewinder half pipe, pictured above, is another popular thrill slide at Mesa SunSplash. A steep vertical drop sends you flying down the first wall to the bottom where force sends you up the far wall. Cool! The Storm Rider is a four-person raft slide where riders plummet through a high speed tunnel which propels them into a massive bowl where they swirl around several times.

In 2012 The Revolution two-person raft slide was introduced. Starting from nearly seven-stories, The revolution catapults one or two riders straight down into an open bowl.

You must be at least 48 inches tall to ride on these attractions.

Mesa Golfland SunSplash Tip #3: These three rides are the most popular at the park, so if you are going on a busy day, like a Saturday or Sunday, make sure you get a couple turns on these early in the day. Then go visit the other attractions while the other kids spend their time on some long lines!
