-
Knott's Soak City is a chain of three seasonal water parks owned by Cedar Fair Entertainment Company and located in Southern California.
Soak City U.S.A in Orange County opened in 1999. Located East across Beach Blvd. from Knott's Berry Farm, at Crescent, it occupies 13 acres (53,000 m2) of land South of the main parking lot and Independence Hall which includes a wide variety of water feature attractions.
- Gremmie Lagoon - an area for smaller children to get acquainted to the water park style.
- Sunset River - a 1/3 mile long continuous circuit lazy river for relaxed tubing.
- Toyota Beach House - a three-story tall family fun area and splash zone housing two beginner slides.
- Malibu Run - features four more adventurous slides, Dropoff, Wave Chaser, Heavy Swell, and Rincon.
- Old Man Falls - a 62-foot (19 m) high, triplet of speed slides for advanced riders.
- Laguna Storm Watch Tower - three completely enclosed tube slides.
- Banzai Falls - a six-lane family waterslide race down bumps.
- Tidal Wave Bay - a 750,000 gallon wave pool.
- Pacific Spin - In 2006, all three of the Soak City water parks installed this new attraction, best described as an enclosed tube dropping into a six-story funnel laying on its side. Riders rock up and down the sides of the funnel, like a skateboarder riding a half-pipe.
As of 2010, none of the Soak City parks have announced any new attractions, but generally, whenever Knott's Berry Farm adds a new attraction, the Soak City parks are not long to follow by adding one of their own.
