The Update | Water Park to Add 305-Foot Slide; Several Dana Ensembles to Perform
WEST HOMESTEAD, Pa. — Sandcastle water park will open its newest attraction, Bombs Away, in the 2022 season.
Bombs Away is a 305-foot-long freefall drop water slide. Sliders step into an enclosed capsule when, without warning, the floor beneath their feet abruptly vanishes and drops them down into a twisting, turning loop through a closed-tube fly-by down six stories at speeds up to 26 feet per second.
Sandcastle, Kennywood Park and Idlewild amusement park will have a Black Friday sales one week early on Nov.19. For details, go to SandCastleWaterpark.com.
