In season 1 episode 5 of Xtreme Waterparks, titled "Getting Wet in Jersey," viewers are taken to the East Coast to explore some of the wildest water slides and attractions found in the state of New Jersey.
The episode begins at Morey's Piers and Beachfront Water Parks in Wildwood, New Jersey. This massive water park features over 25 attractions, including the six-story-tall King Neptune's Revenge slide and the Sky Pond Journey, a raft ride that takes guests through an underground tunnel and drops them into a massive pool below. The park's most unique feature, however, is the FlowRider, a surf simulator that offers riders the chance to catch a wave without ever leaving the park.
Next, viewers are taken to Action Park, a water park in Vernon, New Jersey that has been terrifying visitors for over 30 years. Known for its dangerous and thrilling rides, visitors often leave with cuts and bruises, earning the park the nickname "Traction Park." The episode highlights the park's most infamous ride, the Cannonball Loop, a waterslide that features a full loop that riders have to climb up to enter. Although the ride has been closed since 1996, the episode features a recreation of the ride to show viewers what it was like to take the plunge down the extreme attraction.
The episode also visits Splash Zone Water Park in Wildwood, New Jersey. This park features plenty of family-friendly attractions, including a lazy river and a wave pool, but its standout feature is the Beast, a 1,000-foot-long water slide that drops riders down steep hills and through dark tunnels. The slide is so massive that it takes up an entire city block and is visible from the end of the boardwalk.
Finally, the episode takes viewers to Hurricane Harbor in Jackson, New Jersey. This Six Flags-owned water park features a variety of thrill rides, including the Dive Bomber, a slide that drops riders 125 feet in just 10 seconds, and the Tornado, a massive funnel that sends riders spinning until they drop into a pool below. The park also features multiple children's areas with milder attractions, making it a great choice for families.
Throughout the episode, viewers get to see the excitement and thrills that come with some of the most extreme water parks in New Jersey. Whether it's the terrifying attractions at Action Park or the family-friendly atmosphere of Splash Zone, there's something for everyone on this East Coast adventure.
