The park was originally constructed as a standalone expansion to the Six Flags Magic Mountain property in 1995.
The Tornado slide experience features a 75-foot funnel that utilizes rafts to mimic a storm experience.
The park’s Forgotten Sea wave pool holds 500,000 gallons of water.
Some water slides in the park utilize high-pressure water jets to propel rafts uphill.
The facility is designed with a specific 'tropical island' architectural theme to distinguish it from the adjacent Magic Mountain mountain-themed park.
Hurricane Harbor Los Angeles is a tropical-themed water park located adjacent to the Six Flags Magic Mountain theme park in Valencia, California. The park features over 20 water slides and attractions, including the Bonzai Pipelines and the six-story Tornado slide. It spans approximately 22 acres and utilizes a Polynesian island design aesthetic. Guests can access a large wave pool known as Forgotten Sea and a slow-moving river called River Cruise. Several areas are dedicated to families, such as Castaway Cove and Splash Island, which include interactive water play features. The park operates on a seasonal basis, generally opening in late spring and closing in early autumn. High-intensity thrill rides are complemented by various lounge areas and cabana rentals throughout the facility.
