Bonzai Pipelines is located in Hurricane Harbor's four acre expansion known as Bonzai Beach. Guests will step inside one of the six state-of-the-art launching capsules and within just a few seconds, the floor suddenly drops beneath them. Riders experience speeds of up to 40 miles per hour, as they rocket down a 257-foot long slide. After conquering the 360 degree loop, guests then splash into 6 inches of water in the slide's run-out. All six body slides have their own unique path of twists and turns resulting in six different heart-pounding, free-fall experiences to keep you screaming all summer long!

"We are proud to expand New England's largest water park, Hurricane Harbor", said John Winkler, president, Six Flags New England. "Bonzai Beach is the largest expansion Hurricane Harbor has seen in over a decade giving us the ability to welcome more guests for more fun.  Bonzai Pipelines is a great addition to an already stellar lineup of attractions and another great way for guests to cool off this summer."

Guests can experience Bonzai Pipelines and the theme park's 60 additional thrill rides all summer long with a 2013 Season Pass or Membership Plan.
