News Project 2025: RiverRacers & Splash River Junction

[Maverick]

Found these on the Mason, OH City Construction permit site. Looks to be a fairly major expansion to Soak City including a “Master Blaster” water coaster from White Water West.

Master Blaster

WhiteWater's Master Blaster water slide leads the industry in efficiency, longevity, and technology with over 200 installations operating around the world,

This forum is awesome. I love how expansive we’re getting with other parks. Please keep it up, this stuff puts a smile on my face!

Very exciting. Soak City really needs a new waterslide, and a Master Blaster would fit perfectly!

 

[CoasterAuditor]

Please let this be the beginning of the company buying many water coasters for their water parks.

Great find @Maverick! I'll get a FOIA filed today to see if we can get our hands on any additional documentation.

So it's two small Master Blasters. I guess you can see the plans under attachments on the permit site if you create an account.

FWIW, it was rumored at one point that Kings Island **might** be looking at a B&M Surf Coaster.

ETA: Of course, this could be a basic waterpark addition, but it is worth noting.

Hmm. Maybe a racing water coaster. Like Cheetah Chase at Holiday World?

@Python_Survivor, just merged your thread in with the existing KI 2025 thread. The teasers are DEFINITELY for the dueling launch slides that were leaked last month.

All good, just hadn't seen them yet.

There is also an upgraded kiddie pool with some new slides and expanded seating areas.

The two 8s in that video teaser are water slide tubes! Very clever.

These attractions were officially announced today too. Seems like nice upgrades for Soak City.

There are certain parks (PAY ATTENTION BGW/BGT) where doing a small addition that's cost effective but making the big dollar investment is worth it more than one really big ride that costs a lot. Bravo to CF/SF recognizing that some lately.
