MESA, AZ — Golfland Sunsplash in Mesa has a new waterslide to its thrill rides!
"The newest extreme waterslide at Sunsplash is Riptide! A toe-curling 65-foot drop loaded with dizzying twists and turns ends with a high-speed shot up a nearly vertical wall that will leave you breathless," shared Tony Jones, marketing director for Golfland Entertainment Centers, in an email to ABC15 about the slide's 2025 announcement. "It will also be the tallest waterslide in [the] state, measuring in at over 9 stories tall!"

According to the company's website, The Riptide can be experienced by groups of two to four riders.
The ‘Riptide’ waterslide was originally scheduled to open on July 4, 2025, then delayed to late August, before officially opening to the public in April 2026.
