“The expansion provides features that will appeal to the youngest member of the family while adding a new level of excitement for teens and young adults,” said David Busch, president and CEO of Hawaiian Falls. “Hawaiian Falls has always been a great environment for families to play together, and we are committed to continue providing a wholesome, fun environment to meet their needs.”
The waterpark will offer a weekly “Dive-In” movie each Tuesday evening. The park plans to show family-friendly movies such as “Happy Feet,” “Yours, Mine and Ours,” and “Charlotte’s Web.”
The expansion also will include new cabanas, an expanded party area, and the addition of a Pizza Hut Express to complement the food and beverage options. Throughout the summer season, the park will also feature family-friendly acts at the Aloha Bowl, the new 20-foot by 40-foot concert stage, including Midlife Crisis, Ken Savage and his “Best Kept Secret” band, and national Christian entertainers Andy Chrisman, Seventh Day Slumber, and the Robbie Seay Band, plus the Disney Kids and many others.
The park also plans a “Battle of the Bands” in August. Family-friendly acts are encouraged to contact Neal Gorman at ngorman@hawaiianfalls.com for consideration.
In addition to the expansion at The Colony waterpark, a $1 million expansion is currently underway at Hawaiian Falls/Firewheel in Garland that includes a new wave pool and concert stage. The Bahamas Beach waterpark, located at South Hampton and Highway 67, is being re-branded Hawaiian Falls Dallas and will have nearly $250,000 in upgrades.
Bahamas Beach was the first inner-city waterpark in America. "Veggie Tales" heroes Bob and Larry will be appearing daily at all the parks again throughout the 2007 season. For the first time, Hawaiian Falls season passes will be accepted at all three area waterparks for no additional charge. Season passes are now on sale at www.hawaiianfalls.com. Individual season passes, regularly $79.99, are available online and at area Kroger stores at the reduced price of $69.99.
Hawaiian Falls will open daily 10:30 a.m. - dusk from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend. Hawaiian Falls/The Colony is located at 4400 Paige Road, about one-half mile from Highway 121 and Plano Parkway, in The Colony.
