Magic Mountain Water Park (French: Parc aquatique Magic Mountain), also known as Magic Mountain, is a water park located in Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada. It is part of the Magnetic Hill tourist site. The park is the largest man made tourist attraction in Atlantic Canada. It requires more than 800,000 imperial gallons (3,600,000 L) of water to operate which is heated by propane heaters with a capacity of almost 7 million BTUs (7.4 gigajoules).

History

The park was created as an addition to the growing tourist site of Magnetic Hill, which already consisted of the hill itself, and the Magnetic Hill Zoo. Construction on the park commenced on August 12, 1986 and through the efforts of more than 600 construction workers it was completed in less than a year, opening on June 26, 1987. In 1999 the park came under new ownership and since then several improvements have been made to the park. A children's "Splash pad", two new children's slides and two new body slides named "Pipeline" and "Sidewinder" were constructed. Other developments include:

  • 2002 - the Tornado tube slide opened.
  • 2005 - two new slides opened named Twist and Shout.
  • 2006 - the Pro Racer was added.
  • 2008 - an all new free-fall body slide replaced the old Kamikaze. Its name and height remains the same.
  • 2011 - The Torpedo opens - Canada's first skybox drop capsule will give riders an opportunity to experience a weightless sensation.
  • 2011 - The Turbo Tunnel opens - a dark body slide that propels a 720 degree figure 8 ride.
