The Triple Twist - Coming to Great Wolf Lodge, Kansas City, March 2010!

Announcing the all new Triple Twist!

Coming this Spring, Great Wolf Lodge Kansas City will introduce our latest thrilling waterslide attraction, The Triple Twist. Prepare yourself for a five-story waterslide featuring a drop into a huge funnel followed by twists and turns and two more funnels. And at night, The Triple Twist takes it up a notch as you are immersed in a full-sensory LED lighting experience. The Triple Twist is the first ride of its kind in the world – don’t miss it!! (Please note that riders must be 42” or accompanied by an adult. We also encourage weak or non-swimmers to wear a lifejacket.)

I think that it would be cool to make these body slides.

This looks awesome! I love the layout of the slide and I gaurentee it will be a hit!

i'm just wondering where they are going to put it there isn't much room i think that is the reason we dont have a giant tornado slide there is there isn't much room for expansion

The Triple Twist at Great Wolf Lodge KC is just about finished being built. Looks like it will be a lot of fun.

Looks cool!

wow that was quick only thing is it seems they removed a slide to put it in

Swoosh · « **Reply #11 on:** Feb 28, 2010, 02:01 »

I agree it was quick. They just started actually constructing the slide this week. Parts went vertical starting Thursday.

zztop · « **Reply #12 on:** Feb 28, 2010, 06:23 »

i just think it is stupid that they removed a slide to add one, that entrance you pointed out is part of the slide they took out

Jason · « **Reply #13 on:** Feb 28, 2010, 06:29 »

Impressive indeed. How do they handle winter temps for slides like this? You would think that the tube would be hella cold.

Is the water warm enough to mitigate the cold?

Swoosh · « **Reply #14 on:** Feb 28, 2010, 07:13 »

I'd say that since you are riding on a raft and in the slide for such a short amount of time you wouldn't be able to tell that much difference -- 'sides the water is heated.

I'm looking forward to the LED strobes at night in the three tornado parts

I was told by a co worker that took his kids in the winter that the slides that go out doors are quite cold!

zztop · « **Reply #16 on:** Mar 1, 2010, 05:21 »

its not very cold and the outdoor section is not very long

Swoosh · « **Reply #17 on:** Mar 1, 2010, 07:21 »

If they think that that is cold - I'd hate to see them go to the ones in Wisconsin Dells in the winter. It's not enough to warrant a complaint by any means

zztop · « **Reply #18 on:** Mar 1, 2010, 07:27 »

wilderness in the wisconsin dells at least has the roof that absorbs the sun and brings it into the pool

Jason · « **Reply #19 on:** Mar 2, 2010, 07:21 »

The problem I see with the triple twist is that it's 90% outdoors (unless they're going to enclose that area). That's a long cold slide.

If you're that big of a pansy don't ride it. Less wait time for me then.

Jason · « **Reply #21 on:** Mar 2, 2010, 11:14 »

If it's cold you'll certainly have a shorter wait time. Then again I'm not usually in the mood to be in a water park until May anyway.
