For younger guests, the park has both the LOONEY TUNES Movie Town and Whistlestop Park kids areas with plenty of rides and features for children and their parents to enjoy.

The adjacent and included Six Flags Hurricane Harbor water park is open seasonally. The water park offers a variety of attractions for all-ages, including a giant wave pool, lazy river, water playgrounds and thrilling water rides. Some of the more popular attractions are the Bahama Blast triple dip tube ride, Tornado multi-rider tube ride that descends into a giant six-story tall funnel, and ZoomAzon Falls body slides.

During the summer months the crowds will often flock to the water park to cool off, leaving the theme park far less crowded.
