Big Chute

Big Chute is a 33-foot-tall Van Egdom Hara Kiri water slide in the Canada area, with rubber dinghies for a soaking descent.

Big Chute is a compact water classic where the build-up is almost as recognizable as the splashdown itself: take the rubber dinghy up, hop in and slide back down. The attraction has several lanes, so the ride stays simple while still adding a playful racing element. On warm days, it is a quick way to experience the Canada area with a proper splash.

Theming

Big Chute sits in the Canada area and leans into this part of the park's rugged outdoor feel: water, stairs, dinghies and a short drop that ends with a burst of spray.
