In 1989, the park added its first tube ride, The Canal, and a lazy river, Herring Run River. In 1993, a lily pad walk and kiddie pool was added, named Harpoon Lagoon, and speed slide Pirates Plunge was added as well. Devils Peak, later renamed to Squid Row was added in 1995, which are 2 speed slides that use a tube. The Mussel Beach Wave Pool was added in 2000, and Captain Kids Island was added in 2008. In 2013, 3 tube slides, named Thunder Falls after the park they came from, were relocated to Water Wizz. The other slides are 2 speed slides that are 61 feet tall, named Devils Peak. The slides took the name from 2 other slides at Water Wizz, which are now renamed to Squid Row. In 2019, one of the park's managers announced plans to expand.[citation needed]
