New Jersey's Six Flags Hurricane Harbor is making upgrades ahead of its summer opening on May 20.

The water park is seeing its largest investment in over two decades, according to a release from Six Flags. The company lays out some of the changes attendees can expect at this venue in Jackson.

A “tree-house play structure” will be added to the list of attractions at Splash Island, featuring mini slides, waterfalls and a water bucket. The park will also increase its slide count by seven, with new rides such as RipCurl and Shark Attack making their debut, all of which are geared towards younger guests.

This significant investment brings state-of-the-art kids’ attractions geared towards children under 42 inches tall, plus park enhancements aimed at providing exciting new experiences for all ages.”
