Construction is underway on an expansion that will bring some exciting new water rides to Meridian. The Roaring Springs waterpark will expand onto the 12-acre lot east of Roaring Springs, increasing the park size by 40% over the next decade. The Northwest-themed addition will include an interactive play structure with seven slides, an action river, an activity pool, a new restaurant, the waterpark’s first bar, additional parking, and other amenities. “This expansion will make Roaring Springs one of the largest waterparks in the U.S.,” said Roaring Springs CEO Pat Morandi.
Camp IdaH2O is a giant interactive water playground featuring seven slides, and some of Idaho’s most iconic symbols. The most unique feature is the world’s first dumping potato bucket, which splashes 650 gallons of water onto fun-seekers below. Whitewater adventure meets waterpark fun in Class 5 Canyon, Idaho’s first action river. Class 5 Canyon will be half as long and twice as wide as Roaring Springs’ current Endless River, with a zero-depth entry beach.
Critter Crossing is an activity pool with forest-themed floating features for kids to balance across with overhead ropes, water basketball and other play elements for skill-based recreational fun. The Geyser Grill & Bar will offer Idaho fare with an Asian flair, including burgers and fries, pizza, rice bowls and fried potstickers. Grown-ups can enjoy adult beverages for the first time at Roaring Springs. “I am excited to see the continued investment that will nearly double the summer fun at Roaring Springs. They are a great community partner who has been committed to providing safe entertainment for our families, but also job opportunities for our youth,” said Mayor Robert Simison.
