Six Flags Hurricane Harbor is the name of a chain of water parks that are part of the Six Flags amusement park chain. Although the parks are not identical, common features include a variety of body slides, speed slides, tube slides, wave pools, lazy rivers, and shopping areas.
Construction of Hurricane Harbors across America took place in the mid-1990s and has since become a trademark of the Six Flags franchise. Six Flags St. Louis was first to construct its own intra-park water attractions section; soon other Six Flags locations added their own Hurricane Harbor sections. Only one Hurricane Harbor has closed, Hurricane Harbor closed at Six Flags Worlds of Adventure after it was sold to Cedar Fair in 2004. The water park was soon demolished and a new one was built elsewhere in the park.
