We pulled inspiration from Auckland, New Zealand, where KareKare beach is one of the most popular surf spots in the world. "KareKare" means “wave” while "curl" means “curve-shaped”, and the premier feature of the slide is exactly that: a massive curve-shaped wave!
At 361 feet long, the KareKare Curl water slide is perfect for adrenaline junkies! Don’t let its compact size fool you. On this high thrill slide, riders start 50 feet up as they go through the first tunnel, and then they go up the wall or “KareKare” curl a full 35 feet! This gives riders the perfect weightless feeling right before sliding back down the wall, going through one last tube and splashing into the catch pool!
KareKare Curl uses what we call a “whirly wheel” as a ride vehicle. This means that instead of riders sitting in behind each other, both riders will be facing each other the entire time! The “whirly wheel” ensures that both riders can see each other’s faces as they go up 35 feet! On KareKare Curl there are no single or triple riders, so partner up or make a new friend!
KareKare Curl can be found in-between
Omaka Rocka and our side-by-slide wave pools,
Big Surf Shores and
Cutback Cove.
