Winding Waters

Big Bender was a high-thrill tube slide that was located in Hurricane Harbor. Sharing the same tower as Whirlpool, this slide featured both open-air and enclosed sections as it wound down the hill. Guests could enjoy the ride in a two-person tube or as a single rider.

At the park’s 2025 FT92 fan event, it was announced that Big Bender and Whirlpool would be retired at the end of the water park season. Big Bender would officially close on September 1.
