FAQ

Outside food, beverages, and hard-sided coolers may not be brought into the park. Bag searches will be conducted at the entrance and you will be asked to dispose of any outside food or to take it to your car. Water in non-glass containers is allowed. Soft-sided coolers to store water bottles is also allowed. You’re welcome to enjoy in our picnic area or grassy areas located outside of the waterpark.

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.

Cameras (handheld, mounted, or on selfie sticks) are not permitted on any slides or attractions. Drone use is also not allowed at Roaring Springs. The exception is for content creators for social media or marketing purposes, with prior approval from park management. These individuals must be wearing the designated wristband issued by the park.

For the safety and privacy of our guests and team members, any unauthorized video recording or photography without the person’s knowledge or consent is strictly prohibited on the premises. Violators will be asked to leave without refund.
