Rides On Opening Day
Every major water ride except one is in place when White Water opened in 1981 is still operational today. The only exception to the rule is the Caribbean Cruise which was replaced by The Big Kahuna in the mid 1990s. Some aspects of the rides (particularly changes at what is now Shipwreck Island) have changed over the years. Below is a list of the names of the rides on opening day, and what they are currently named.
- Great Sea Wave, now known simply as The Wave Pool.
- The Twister and The Sidewinder, now known collectively as Swashbuckler Flumes.
- Pirate's Cove, currently known as Shipwreck Island.
- The Rapids, now known as Keelhaul Falls.
- Little Squirts Island, now known as Kids' Kove.

In riding to and from his wife;
A man who shaves and takes a train,
And then rides back to shave again.”

“His leanings were strictly lyrical, descriptions of nature and emotions came to him with surprising facility, but on the other hand he had a lot of trouble with routine items, such as, for instance, the opening and closing of doors, or shaking hands when there were numerous characters in a room, and one person or two persons saluted many people.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
“The first day after a death, the new absence
Is always the same; we should be careful
Of each other, we should be kind
While there is still time.”
