Roaring Springs, and the waterpark industry, recognize the importance of maintaining a family friendly atmosphere.  The park does not allow G-strings or thongs, as stated on our signage.  If we see or a guest reports someone wearing a G-string or thong, we will ask them to cover up or put on a more modest swimsuit.  However, cheeky swimsuits, which have been a popular swimsuit style for the past several years and are sold at the department stores, are different than G-strings or thongs because they have 3 or more inches of fabric.  It is a difficult balance to achieve, with this style of swimwear being so pervasive in the market, but we are monitoring it.  Also, no belts, buckles, chains or jeans are allowed as they can damage the slides.

Please visit this link to report your lost item and we will let you know whether or not we find it.  Due to limited storage we hold items for seven days.

If your child is close to 42″ in bare feet or 48″ in bare feet please go to Guest Relations and ask to have them measured at Roaring Springs official Height Measurement Station.
