Tube Slides
These slides must be ridden with an inner tube. The inner tubes (called Ruby's Tubes) can be rented for five dollars a day and when returned, will be given a coupon for a 32 oz. drink.
- Back Door: The Back Door is a blue slide that twists along with Sea Snake
- Rip Curl: This slide passes by tall trees and has fully enclosed areas as well as open. This slide was taken down to be re-manufactured in 2011 and will be re-installed in the 2012 season.
- Outrigger: The Outrigger is a unique tube slide. At the very top, the rider is required to sit in an inner tube in a large pool of water. A life guard then grabs hold of the rider's tube and directs it toward a slide. After the tube goes down the slide it ends up in another pool, where another life guard directs it down another slide. In all, the rider goes through five slides and six pools of water on this ride. People sometimes want to stay in the Outrigger longer (for more exposure to the water and more time in the pools) they will intentionally fall out of their tubes and walk around the pool clumsily trying to get back into their tubes.

Famous quotes containing the words tube and/or slides:
“The last best hope of earth, two trillion dollars in debt, is spinning out of control, and all we can do is stare at a flickering cathode-ray tube as Ollie “answers” questions on TV while the press, resolutely irrelevant as ever, asks politicians if they have committed adultery. From V-J Day 1945 to this has been, my fellow countrymen, a perfect nightmare.”
—Gore Vidal (b. 1925)
“Lovers should guard their strangeness. If they forgive too much, all slides into confusion and meanness.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
