It’s not often that Chase and I are without the kids during the day. If we’re heading to lunch with only one kid, it’s because the other is in school, camp or something like it. One or both of us is working, out to the office or at a doctor’s visit if we’re alone and un-kidded. But I’m happy to say that I turned a visit to White Water’s new slides into a day-date with Chase! We loaded up on sunscreen and rash guards to battle an unseasonably cool day on the newest addition to the Six Flags family. The Six Flags White Water Wahoo Racer is a 6-slide serpentine toboggan that pits you against your fellow racers to the finish line at the bottom.
Armed with a foam mat with handles, my best tip to you is to tilt the front of the mat up, and bear your elbows into the mat. Keep your toes pointed and back… you’re going to FLY! The slide is “mild” enough for a scaredy cat to slide, but FAST if you get your mat just right… Six Flags White Water even hosted a race on the new Wahoo Racer to see who could win $1K for charity! Chase was going to race for me… but I had such a blast on the practice runs I booted him out. And then lost because I wasn’t heavy enough to race the big guys. But it was FUN!
Check out this tube line… It’s beautiful! You can even see the slide lines from I-75, and it’s so much fun!
