LIGONIER, PA â May 21, 2013Â â Defending its title of âBest Amusement Park for Children in the Worldâ like a true champion, Idlewild & SoakZone (http://www.idlewild.com) opens, Thursday, May 23 with a brand-new lazy river, Float Away Bay. âWeâre better and wetter than ever with our new lazy river, which has been the most requested and desired attraction by guests in recent years,â said General Manager Brandon Leonatti. âFloat Away Bay provides a relaxing, refreshing way for the entire family to cool off and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Laurel Highlands.â
The âendlessâ lazy river is15 feet wide and has a floatable length of over two football fields. Designed for families with small children in mind, the lazy river is two feet four inches deep and will have a large zero-depth entry zone. The attraction holds 185,309 gallons of water and has multiple spray features. Approximately 6,000 square feet of new beach area featuring âriversideâ cabanas and chaise lounge chairs will provide convenient relaxation areas adjacent to Float Away Bay.

Senior FunDay Passes (age 60 and over) are $25.99 online, a discount of $2 from the senior gate admission. Children 2 years and under are FREE. Idlewild & SoakZone tickets have also gone mobile. âBuying tickets online just got easier with our new mobile access,â explains Leonatti. âBuy your daily tickets from your smart phone and weâll scan your phone at the gate.
