Thrill rides

Two first-of-their-kind slides make their debut at Great Wolf Lodge Georgia. Triple Thunder is a group raft ride that combines two thrilling water park attractions into one pulse-pounding slide.  Riders plummet down a steep drop and into a funnel, and then swoosh into two, back-to-back saucers before plunging into a catch pool. Rapid Racer is a two-person tube racing slide featuring drops, chutes and serpentine curves with a surprise twist.  Riders enter sections of the slide with open racing lanes where they can see and hear their fellow racer - separated only by a low wall.
