What are the water slides like at the new Florida Great Wolf Lodge? Take a look

Great Wolf Lodge's first Florida location is set to open this fall. The resort will be complete with an indoor water park, mini golf, and indoor zipline and rope courses.
Though the water park won't be open for another few months, we have an idea of what the slides and pools will be like.
Here's what to expect at the Great Wolf Lodge Florida water park.
What kind of slides will be at Great Wolf Lodge?
There will be 12 slides at the Great Wolf Lodge South Florida water park. Here's some details about five of them.
- Breakaway Bay: This is the first of its kind for Great Wolf Lodge! You'll get in a five-rider raft and be accelerated into a cone shaped "tornado" before exiting into a 360 degree loop. Then, you'll enter a giant bowl, be spinned around, and freefall into the splash channel
- High Paw Roller: This body slide races you through enclosed flumes as you twist and turn before splashing down into a water filled runout
- Forest Flume: This is a body slide that accelerates riders through 360 degree loops, sharp turns, and drops
- Rapid Racer: Side-by-side slides you can race your loved ones down
- River Canyon Run: Family raft ride that sends you down one of the park's longest slides. There's no steep drops on this one!
What other water attractions does Great Wolf Lodge have?
