A popular Sevierville waterpark announced plans for a new waterslide to cool guests down next summer. Soaky Mountain Waterpark on Friday unveiled plans for “Rafter’s Rage.” The six-person, 825-foot raft ride will start nearly eight stories in the air and reach speeds of up to 19 miles per hour. The new attraction is expected to be completed in time for the start of the 2025 season in May. It will be located adjacent to the park’s Avalaunch water coaster behind the Black Bear Rapids Adventure River. Rafter’s Rage follows the 2022 addition of a new thrill water coaster called “The Edge.” “Rafter’s Rage will be different than most water slides with high banking turns and steep drops because instead it will feature four artfully crafted arcs that rafts will laterally accelerate over sideways,” general manager Dave Andrews said in a release. “This thrilling drifting experience —a world’s first for a water slide — will extend a rider’s zero G feeling, making it an incredible attraction.” The 2024 season ends on September 29, 2024. Season passes for 2025 will be available starting Aug. 12 for $99.99 and include one guest daily admission ticket. Soaky Mountain Waterpark first opened its doors in 2020. It is open daily from Mid-May to Labor Day and weekends in September.
