MESA, AZ — Golfland Sunsplash in Mesa is adding the ‘Riptide' waterslide to its thrill rides!
According to Tony Jones, marketing director for Golfland Entertainment Centers, the new attraction will become Arizona’s tallest waterslide.
"The newest extreme waterslide at Sunsplash is Riptide! A toe-curling 65ft drop loaded with dizzying twists and turns ends with a high-speed shot up a nearly vertical wall that will leave you breathless," described Jones via an email sent to ABC15. "It will also be the tallest waterslide in [the] state, measuring in at over 9 stories tall!"
