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.

Famous quotes containing the words rides, opening and/or day:
“There can be no two opinions as to what a highbrow is. He is the man or woman of thoroughbred intelligence who rides his mind at a gallop across country in pursuit of an idea.”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
“The appetite for power, even for universal power, is only insane when there is no possibility of indulging it; a man who sees the possibility opening before him and does not try to grasp it, even at the risk of destroying himself and his country, is either a saint or a mediocrity.”
—Simone Weil (1909–1943)
“And then—a Day as huge
As Yesterdays in pairs,
Unrolled its horror in my face—
Until it blocked my eyes—”
—Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
